Is there anyway you can implement a monthly tournament, say like a $100 buy-in and have it be deep stack so like 15-30K chips? Since I play casino tournaments I'm not so inclined to play the Big BTC every weekend, but if there was a tournament like this I would definitely be interested. If the player pool was big enough I'm sure it would be successful.
Don't think many will register for it...even the Big BTC currently at about $75 does not get many entries...this site seems to be stuck in neutral for a year in about the same number of players even after the December promotions...don't know if it is the software, possible old Maven software security exploits concerns, or Micon's half naked videos but the site does not seem to be growing as fast as it should,..even with the great fast payouts, you would think that the site would grow faster then it has been doing.
I think it would work if they give enough time before hand to promote it and allow people to buy bitcoin and stuff.
The DoD XL tournaments were a success and drew more players than normal.
Even if it's just a one time thing, a large special tournament with a big guarantee and a month to promote it should bring in new players.
Especially with WPN now taking bitcoin deposits... more poker players are just now learning about bitcoin and figuring out how to buy it. Seals should capitalize on that run a big tournament that gets attention and draws them in.
