    I agree with smitalos need promos to create action make the games better rather than worse.

    I done well in the last promo but it was weighted contribution alittle better organised than this promo imo, but reason I done well on that promo because I play a lot more flops than other regs and give action rather than wait for the nuts and 2nd nuts if they feel frisky. I was only playing around 4-5 hr a day playing 6 tables my usual.

    but yeah we need a promo like most hands won after a flop rather than x amount of tables loaded and nit up.

    These competitions always disadvantage people who find it difficult to multi table. I've tried and I just can't do it, plus I've only got a 15" laptop and not half a dozen linked monitors. How am I supposed to compete against somebody who's playing 16 tables? I've not even bothered to enter the code this time. Why not have a comp where 'magic' hands are announced randomly throughout the day, where the winner gets a spot prize and give the little guy a shot at winning some cash?

    Nice post Rob!

    This is from a brandnew poster, no idea how long you have been on the site, but you are spot on.

    We know that Man U have a great chance of winning the premier league as well as 2 others but Hull and 17 others have no chance. Does that stop the teams with no chance of winning from playing???   No!

    Fully agree with DTM, he grinds a lot of time and a lot of tables so why doesn't he deserve to be near the top?

    Its not his fault promos keep getting put on, he puts in the effort so he gets rewarded for it, its fair.  Anyone can multitable and play on the site 24/7, they just don't/ or cant.

    Lol he didnt do it in 1 day, he's been playing all week but must have only entered the promo at some point yesterday before midnight to appear in the ttable for the first time today.

    I have nothing against DTM winning, he is capable of and consistently does meet the requirements of the promo, it's not like he's breaking any rules. I just think it's awful of Sky to even run a promo that measures things by the number of hands dealt in to.

    Agreed that DTM deserves to be top cos he's done what's needed, but the promo shuoldn't even exist. You covered it yourself in a bit of a backwards way... Anyone CAN, except those that CANT lol. You have zero chance of winning this promo unless you

    A) Don't have a job
    B) Can like 16+ table

    Ideally you need both

    FWIW, DTM probably does pay more rake than 99% of players on Sky, but I very much doubt that's the case for this 1 week when Sky actively encourage him to go and play 4NL.

    Yo DYM

    Would be more intresting and worthwhile if sky actually based these promos on rake paid rarther than hands dealt.
    Even though you would still come out on top, being the 24/7 grind machine that you are.

    Intrigued though how much do you increase number of tables during a promo and how does this affect your win rate.

    Probably something you have considered.

    In all fairness, If I did not have a 9-5 job than I would probably play the same sick amount of volume.

    power to your elbow - )

    So your saying anybody can play 24/4 - except those than dont or cant. Contradiction no?

    Anyway, most bosses would proabably not approve of their employees playing poker.

    It wasn't a brag DOH.  I make 30k points a month which isn't anything to be proud of. I just have the time to do it, thats the only difference.

    I'm sure they have recently run a promo considering rake rather than hands and tbh I don't think it would make a great deal of difference.  

    I played a day soley at 4nl and made 1125 points.

    I'm not sure about win rate.  I always play at least 16 tables so its nothing new but I did have 20 on the go when playing 4nl and it did get abit tricky.  I should probably not try and watch tv, text and eat my tea aswell though.

    Please don't mention elbows.  I've been watching the tennis all week and I've got tennis elbow after playing so much poker.  Might have to phone the boss to see if I can get a day off.

    I played 4nl for 1 day because I was that hungover I couldn't see.
