At least some of the coin from the tourny promos/freerolls will inevitably end up in ring games....

Also look at the 150k krill freeroll. This is the real value one. 5k chips paid out to the top 6 and usually only 17 runners every month. Out of those 17, maybe 7 tops are regular cash grinders who have rescued this site, dissonance, ern, seal123, ect. Guys who put in tens of thousands of hands every month for the past year consistently and kept the site alive during the darkest times. On most other start up sites those players would be considered "prop" players and get a very good rakeback deal (at least 80% rakeback). For example, if you sign up with the right affiliate on Betcoin you get 100% rakeback.
Then you have 10 guys who haven't played even 1000 hands in the past 12 months but got 150k krill when grinding NL1000 was NL2 in $usd.
Point is, if they don't give us prop level rakeback, there should at least be a freeroll every month that depends on
current monthly krill levels. In other words a good value tourney every month for the regulars who pay at least 2000 chips + in rake every month. If every player who paid 2000+chips /month in rake stopped playing, Seals would be finished. It is past time to throw them some extra support no?
