3. Instead of having chops, more rivers are dealt until there is a winner.
4. Some MTTs with the old pay out structures where less people get ITM but min cash is higher, 1st gets more and so on.
5. 27 or J4 game cash tables online.
None of these would increase my desire to play. And if you are trying to attract completely new players, most would not even notice or understand these.
1. Live streams are not the way to attract new players. Most hands are simply boring to watch.
2. PLO with fewer cards is the opposite of trends. 5 and even 6 card plo are the direction. Problem is any plo variant is likely to drain player funds before they develop,skills to make poker fun.
3. What if no possible river card can produce a river? What is wrong with chops? The newbie feels like he won.
4. Paying fewer places makes much harder for new players to win. If they don’t win eventually they go broke or get bored and quit.
5. Again, this favors the experienced player.
