What promo's do you like?

[GaF]

We've tried to be creative with the Virgin Scotland game this month. We've tried to put in place a fun structure, that gives all kinds of players a shot at a nice prize. We have also tried to do it in a way that will help make it a commercial success for Virgin (I don't think we should shy away from that, or be embarrassed by it - the main reasoning is that we want to be able to go forward offering bigger and better prizes, as well as fun and competitive tournaments - that benefits all of us!!!) Overall I'm quite happy with the way this has been done for the virgin tourney. I think we've found the right mix..... But I'm also interested in what others think - and, more importantly, what kind of things you'd like to see in the future (whether with Virgin, or others) - generally the poker rooms are happy for us to do it as we wish, within the budget they offer, we're only limited by our own creativity - the success (or not) determines whether they want to give us (you) more money again in the future - so it's in our own interests to have a structure that works for the poker companies too ...... So come on - give us your ideas and we'll see what we can do :ok

Re: What promo's do you like? Not much feedback in here :unsure First I will say any added money or packages you can get are obviously great. I'm probably going to be in the minority here but I would like to see bigger buy ins for PL events. I haven't played any PL games for ages simply because they haven't attracted me. It seems that they only cater for freerollers or people who are only prepared to buy in for a few dollars. Why not a range of buy ins for the PL tournys instead of always catering for the same players? Are there no players here prepared to play at a higher buy in level? Just having a look now. You have the betonbet $1000 added which is great but the individual games are only $2 to enter which is fine if you're just learning. I play to make money though as well as the enjoyment and I'm not prepared to play if my expected earnings per hour are just a few dollars. Similarly the sporting odds one costs $1. The Virgin one I have to admit I haven't had chance to look at in detail. It seems to me a lot to go through though for a 1 in 20 chance (maybe slightly less in some cases) of a £1400 prize of which only 40% is really yours! I like the concept of PL members having a stake in the winner but I think the spread is a bit too much. I'd prefer to see, say, 75% for the winner and then 25% distributed to the other 9. Would it not also be true that the poker companies would be more prepared to offer the added $$$ if the buy ins for the actual tournaments were higher? It seems logical that the more they get from PL players in rake/entry fees the more they would be prepared to give for promotions. Just to clarify I am not saying all the PL tournaments should have a high buy in but it would be nice to have some $25, $50 or $100 events now and again along with the smaller buy ins for the lower stake players.
