    A new type of game that combines MTTs, SNGs and Cash styles on one table.  Join and leave at will.  Endless.  Knockout another and take their 100% bounty.  Rebuys available at zero chips.  Numerous tables, different buy-ins £1, £2, £5, £11, £22.  2,000 chips, one level.

    What would the blind level be?

    What if someone has been sat there for 6 hours and has a 100k stack, people aren't gonna buy in for 2,000 chips? 

    You would have to re-set peoples stacks when they get above 10k or something.

    yes, i thought about this too.  i think it is self balancing.  if you want to sit there for hours on a big stack, fine.  if you want to enter against a big stack, fine too, it's your choice.  there should be other tables open which you might prefer.  being a snowball the bounty is banked and so doesn't cause a problem when one player stays a long time.

    the beauty is that it is endless.  the best of cash, mtt and sng.

    luv the notion of sittin with a 100k stack and prob in excess of £250+ alraedy banked with the prospect of more to come at say the £10 buy-in level

    I'm with DOH, if i have 100k and u join with 2k, i put you all in almost every hand to take the bounty

    that's true.  it's exactly like it is at the moment in high stakes cash. madness to join that table.  instead start or join another.  i guess that the normal life cycle of a table would be no more than an hour, although maybe longer at the lowest stakes.

    What happens if you have a monster stack and a huge bounty on your head and you want to quit?

    if you leave with no others present you get your entry fee back.  if other players are on the table and you leave your entry fee is shared amongst those remaining.

    also remember that it is a snowball bounty, meaning that every bounty you win goes straight to your account.  your head prize remains the entry fee throughout.

    If 100% of your entry goes on your head, then wether you've eliminated 0 players, or 500 players, the worth of your head is still only your buy in, right?

    i think the game would suit cash players most yet will attract more mtt and sng players.
