As a SnG player, the main reason I like it is because it brought players to the field. The traffic jumped like 250-300% and this is amazing!
As a micro SNG rec, my traffic has dropped 80% (feelz, no proof).
As a 25+ year micro SNG rec (I choose not to study the game and want to keep it recreational), I don't play cash games. Most recs are usually cash/tourney recs or SNG/tourney recs.
The weekly Missions don't appeal to me because of the cash game requirements.
The greatest SNG promo Chico had for recs, was the point-based system based on knock-outs and 1st, 2nd and (3rd) place finishes. Never saw so much SNG action before that promo and it's been dead ever since.
It'd be great to see a Daily Races set up in 3 different time chunks (8am-4pm, 4pm-midnight, midnight-8am). This would keep it somewhat fair to the non-grinders but also offer the 16-hour grinders to enter another time chunk.
For SNG/Windfall:
Offer a combo SNG $1.50-$3.50 (windfall: $3-$6) package, SNG $7-$15 (windfall: $7-$15) package and SNG $30-$60 (windfall: $25-$200)
based on the point system.
For Cash:
Don't know cash but generally same type of packages
based on rake.
Offer SNG/Windfall, tourney $, and Cash, rake-back % in cash.
That's what would make "rec me" a happy person.
