The Games People Play

<< < (2/2)

Pitchie:
We play a £30 freeze out with £2 juice which goes into a main prize fund. The tournaments have a 15k stack and 30 minute blind structure and plays very well. We play a league structure and at the end of the year the top ten get to play off for the prize pool. Throughout the season we average around 17 players but some months we touch 30 players.

We always have a side table setup for £0.10/£0.20 cash or STT to keep people in afterwards to keep up the atmosphere. After all, it"s only once a month and we like to have a good laugh as well as a good poker tournament.

I used to run a national poker league and one of the biggest problems we found the pubs had was keeping numbers up. The most succesful pubs were the ones that looked after the players by putting on a little bit of food (chips, sauasges, bread etc) and put on a waitress service so that the players wern"t constantly having to go to the bar (this is also in the pubs interest). I don"t know if yours is a home game, but in my opinion, even in a home game, looking after the players and making the game fun rather than just a boring old poker game certainly helps with the numbers!  

HTH!  ;)

Paul.
