Obvious problems?

[Royal Flush]

Who not just play cash?

[outragous76]

Who not just play cash?

or a tourney

[roscopiko]

Who not just play cash?

Cos you won't get any rake back?

Might not be a game guaranteed to be running?

or a tourney

Just an idea for something unique and different on the schedule to differentiate against the other casinos in the area.

Happy to accept it might be bollocks and no-one would ever play just looking for some opinion either way.

Flushy is rarely right but I have to agree with him here

Given most UK Poker Rooms struggle to run a simple Tourney well, I shudder to think how they'd manage this.

Poker is such a simple game. Keep it simple.

[Royal Flush]

Run a cash game with a table charge instead of rake, everyone happy, organise a bunch of punters to all come in at the same time.

Problems solved

yeah, but in a casino where you can only rarely get £1/£2 running, this is a good idea to play a little higher as well imo

Get the phone numbers of all those who do play 1-2 arrange a time and text them all to tell them there will be a game on at said time...
