I like it...it looks very good. I can't actually find anything negative to say. I did notice a couple of dead links though...although you probably already know about them. The cake poker banner in the header and the links in the "Rake Race Eligible Poker Rooms" on the homepage.

Thank you for the kind words Special Member. The site hasn't gone live yet so I have not connected all the links. I think I am launching on Monday

I think the concept is genius. Assuming it takes off and more than one person a month makes your $50 rake minimum.

They race to make you money and you return back one guy some cash.

I'd love to see your math that each month you are clearing the $1000 to "buy" the spot so the winner can get $10,000

Plus buying the seats at the runner-up table.

I am sure you thought about this already though

Will the leaderboard be public?

I was going to make the top 10 or 25 players public and update it every day, do you think that would be ok?

Mosey i'm not sure what you mean by "buying" the spot? )

By "buying the spot" I mean you are paying for someone to get a seat at a 10k SNG, essentially, right? So each "spot" costs you $1000.

Or is Cake donating that spot and/or the prize.

I was thinking you were giving the winner one of 8 spots, $1250 each, so essentially you need to make that in MGR or you are losing money on the venture.

Or am I missing a piece of this pie? Did you convince Cake to give you this 10k prize table up front?

Ok after reading, and re-reading your post I really can't believe what all the sarcasm is for?

It's simple, if I don't clear the $1000 each month, I put the rest in myself.

Yes I am taking a risk, and it might not take off, but it is a relatively new idea, a great poker room from an affiliate's standpoint, I have someone helping me with it who is very experienced and successful with the room and I am willing to take the personal financial risk.

So don't bother the thread with your sarcastic remarks, try being constructive, and if you can't do that, don't bother posting.

If I was wrong in my assessment of the original post I apologize but it came across very sarcastic

Jay. Site looks sweet!. Nice job with the DeepStack theme. I love that you also integrated vbulletin and also got the tournament script to work.

Great job all around!
