    Count seems to be one out. May be a Sky glitch as I can only see the same posts as you.

    If im reading it right,  guarantees  are halved but to play both it will cost double.  I can only afford 1 at best. Terrible idea.

    Is there some super jackpot if you final table all three?

    TBH I can see all the same tournaments picking up most of the runners... particularly the bounty hunters.

    There is 100% no chance the cash game will get more entries than the Primo

    Wouldn't be so sure, the Primo is always relatively low on numbers cos it's £55.

    And while the cash game is also £55, assuming it's some kind of timed affair so you get the value of your stack after 3 hours or whatever, it's a lower risk with there being a decent chance of at least getting something back which is why everyone loves BHs so much.

    How does a "Cash" tourney work? Are you allowed to re-load or top up your stack?

    I like the double evnts, but... halfing the GTD and not the price is pretty brutal. Prob be some days I won't enter any.

    Don't see what the big deal about the guarantees is. It's pretty obvious Sky expect there are alot of players who can only afford to play 1 and so will have to choose one or the other, thus halving the fields.

    It's not like guarantees matter anyway, Sky aren't gonna be having overlay on MEs so it's completely irrelevant. If the comp gets £6k of runners, it doesn't matter if Sky had put a £1k or £5k GTE on. It only matters when overlay comes in to play and it's pretty obvious Sky won't want overlay on their ME.

    Can't remember the last time I saw overlay on the current Sky MEs so why should anyone be put off by the fact these won't have overlay either. Your value is in being better than the field, not in Sky giving away free money

    Hey guys,

    Here is a run down of the new tournaments (I will also add this to the content page for clarity)

    Monday- £4k Run Poker- This is a brand new variant to the Sky Poker tournament schedule. The basic concept of this type of tournament is that any player that wins a hand, will then become the dealer for the next hand.

    Tuesday- £3k 6-max Shuffle- This variant of event involves tables shuffling (or re-balancing) much more often than is the case in regular tournaments. Players will be shuffled around tables at random intervals, thus play against a lot more players within the tournament

    Wednesday- £3k Double chance- This does exactly what it says on the tin! Players are allowed one single re-buy as a 'second chance' or 'last chance' or some may say....'double chance' in the tournament.

    Thursday- £6k Escalator- This is a brand new blind structure for Sky Poker. Blinds go up in 5 minute increments for the first hour, 10 minute intervals for the second hour, and finally 15 minute intervals until the end of play. The structure encourages players to generate a decent stack size before slowing down in the latter stages and picking their time to strike.

    Friday- £4k Deepstack- This tournament type speaks for itself. Players are given more starting chips and a slower structure will be put in place.

    Saturday- £4k Timed Tournament- This tournament will be a £33 hour long timed tournament where prizes are determined by the chipstack at the end of an hour.

    Sunday- £5k Cash Game- Blinds remain unaltered for the duration of this timed tournament. The tournament will play out very much like a timed cash game. Prizes will be paid out dependant on final chipstack size. The tournament will last for 2 hours.

    Hope these brief descriptions answer anyones questions.

    With regards to the jackpot, players who decide that they would like to try both 8pm tournaments on a given evening, will have an extra chance of winning the jackpot if they reach the final table in the mini event. Your best finishing position in either of the Main Events will be paired with your finishing position in the Mini event to determine your shot at the jackpot. With regards to the Timed Tournament and the Cash Game tournament, the top 6 will be determined by chipstack size. Definitely a great incentive to play in both!

    If you have any questions, please feel free to comment on this thread and I will try my best to respond.

    Thanks a lot,

    Joe

    I hope some of these tournaments arent scrapped because they dont beat the current mains. If a tournament like the escalator passes its guarantee then it should go up against a different tournament the next week because its not gonna beat the Thursday night bounty hunter but could win on one of the other days.
