You want to create a game even more stacked in favour of better players to encourage more recs to play?

does not compute, you would just create a way of driving more of the soft money away and recycling $$$ around the better players or syndicates of robots
Just for odd tournament or two. But certainly get your point - hence why most of the games we are looking to get to market focus on the masses and not the pros. I want the masses enjoying a session a poker for a change. I think above all else, that has been my biggest drving force. This format is really not an indication as to what we do have - just feel that the WSOP would be ideal for a couple of events.
As for the pros and hard-core players, been trying to put together a game that can be very skillful and yet simple - like NL - but with something more - something that could increase interest in televised poker. It's taken almost seven years but by chance, we may just have it. We will be testing it with novices and pros alike. There are also a couple of less skilful versions that I would love to get online. Overall we have about eight different poker format/games - all with emphasis on rec palyers.
Cheers!
