Let's go with the theory that bad-beat does nothing to draw people into the room. I believe that is fair since it doesn't grow big due to all the promos creating many more hands per week in the room. Since it serves no traffic/promotional purpose (nor value then to its administrator) then for sure it should be eliminated.
If a $1 drop could fund the current promos, then that would be great for everyone (especially regs who are there anyway.)
Plausible? By my math the current promos cost ~$100K/week. At 30 hands/hour/table, that's 3,333 table-hours, requiring the room average ~20 open tables 24 hrs/day at a $1 drop. I'm guessing that's not enough... probably need it to be about $1.50 to fully fund. (thus avg. 13 tables)
(I'm sure Mike can do this math with the real numbers, i.e. promo cost, hands/hour avg. and avg. open tables/24 hrs... to get the right answer.)
I don't know where it is, but I'm sure there's a pot-size for that second buck that will give you the desired $1.50 avg. drop. $40? $60?
This also reduces the terrible ~16% tax on those middling $30 pots which makes playing 1/2 or 4/8 out of the question for me when promos aren't significant ($1k/hr+).
