New Game Trial - Sunday 8:30pm

Sky_Poker

Hi everyone

We are trying something this Sunday at 8:30pm.

The event is a £100 + £10 timed tournament (1 hour)

Starting stack is 10,000 chips with a twist that the blinds stay fixed at 50/100 for the duration of the game - it's like a hybrid of a cash game and tournament.

This should be interesting game and in many ways will play like a 50p/£1 cash game with £100 stack. Effectively, each chip is worth 1p - so 100 = £1, 1,000 = £10 and 10,000 = £100.

We will be running satellites into the event too so watch out in the lobby.

Thanks
Sky Poker

Depending on how popular this is, we may look at making it more regular.

That might encourage a few others to play

rancid

so it's a multi table cash game for an hour only @100bb deep

but u can't move seats and you may be moved from one table to another table notof your choosing

and you have to pay £10 for it


what are the pro's ?

Not being able to choose your seat is one of the pros for some.

I can see plenty of potential pros Rancid.  And I normally end up paying more than £10 in rake over an hour on a £100 table anyway so not sure about that point.

I remain intrigued.  Might work, might not.

And as stated above, I remain the value.

Sigh....  QFT

Never really thought the rake through did I :S
Looks like an intresting alternative, cross fingers for a nice table draw )

How much rake is there on a £200 pot roughly tommy? 

BUFC

I have always liked Timed Tourns on Sky so will try and sat into this but wont pay the buy in (too much for me). I remember a little while ago there was a standard 60min £50+£5 timed tournament on bank holiday weekends with sats running into it for from a week or so before, could something like this come back? I'm pretty sure they broke the gtd every time.

GELDY

cannot play this Sunday unfortunately, otherwise I would definitely be in.

gl all u guinea pigs.

Sky_Poker

Just to add, this will be shown on Sky Poker TV (ch861) too!

GREGHOGG

Sounds like fun, all about the table draw imo

The total rake taken from a £200 pot at 100NL would be exactly £1.80 if we are not HU, £1 if HU.

Lambert180

Yeah this sounds like a great idea. Doubt I'll be stumping up the £110 but I might give some satellites a go. I'm guessing they'll only be running on the day?

Sky_Sam

Micro satellites for this will start from noon tomorrow, with the semi at 6.30pm.
