You are approached by either Full Tilt and PokerStars to implement one new thing to the poker room. The change can be as big or as small as you want. It can be related to software, events, player-related, or anything else.

What's your change?

get rid of human dealers...replace them with chimps. i would tolerate an extra misdeal here and there if it meant no more begging by guilt.

I would implement a policy that would allow me to change as many things as I wanted.

I would have rake races for all limits of play so that more people could participate and generate more rake. For example a $100 rake race for .01/.02 players.

The rake at HU tables is lower than any other games. Which is amazing how low revenue HU tables generate compared to other games given how bad they are for the health of the site, yet some sites still support them. Because of these things, HU tables should, eventually, all go away anyway.

i'd be really interested in seeing a more detailed explanation of how bad spreading hu is for a site's health because if it as bad as you say I don't understand why they would spread it. I can kind of understand that hu cash could be bad when spread at the higher limits, but at the lower stakes it's a rake trap, same with husngs at all limits pretty much. there isn't a lot of high stakes hu action though which I think mitigates a lot of the effect it would have on a site's health.

Magic Unicorn bonus

Everytime you win a pot theres a 1/100 chance you get a magic unicorn for your 'collection'

If you manage to get all the magic unicorns something super sick happens

Improving vip rewards is a lot more interesting than lowering the rake.

agreed.. VIP rewards attract more bad breakeven/losing RB whores. Lower rake just sharks.

Do you really think fishes care about the rake ? The only thing that attract them are ads.
