hippich, if you want this to take off, my advice would be to focus on making the software really solid (fast, reliable, clear UI) so that people will feel comfortable putting their money on your site and playing. Adding new game types would be a lower priority IMO. (Of course, if you're just doing this all for fun, do whatever you like!)
Three requests:
1) Some kind of timeout display. If one of my opponents is not responding, I'd like an indication of who it is and how long I may have to wait before he times out. (In part, I'd like to know that it is not me timing out.) Oh, also, if I am taking a long time to act, I would like some kind of warning before I time out. (Maybe you already have that, I haven't tried playing slowly.)
2) Some kind of way to view the hand history. I would like to be able to see the results of the last hand. See what cards I had, what my opponent had (if he showed), what was on the board. What happens to me (and to everyone I think) from time to time is that I misread the board and I wonder why I lost the hand. Currently people may end up thinking your software is buggy and that they got screwed. Having a way to see the last hand should mitigate that.
3) Some explanation of how you handle timeouts/disconnects would be good. Is there "disconnect protection" or not?
Having said all that, great to see what you've done. I'm impressed.
