-nlhe players will only play 10/25+ nl
-game will almost definitely be shorthanded (5 or less players). Nlhe regs have a lot of experience playing nl short, LHE regs have a lot of experience playing both games short (although at smaller stakes on the nlhe side)
-nlhe regs are very good/excellent at nlhe, no experience/poor lhe players
-LHE players are good/very good at LHE and below average/average nlhe players.
The LHE game needs more marketing creativity like your ideas......in the east, our player pool is limited and players (most) are reluctant to move into higher stakes..... Our 40/80 game, was running good for a while, now seems dead. I've floated the idea of rotating the blind's every ten orbits.... Play an orbit at 20/40, then 40/80..... Or 10/20 + 20/40 ...... Maybe get some if the players playing lower to move up if not faced with out of comfort level stakes for a session...... Most of the suits embrace the concept with issues of figuring out rake/time game to be figured out but not an idea buster. Consensus of players I run it by is positive, but The very best 40/80 players, are 100% against trying it..... Instead of getting some new players in the game to give it a shot, build the field....... The game does not run. Awesome strategy.
