Dear Sky, Please Introduce MasterCash 2p-4p tables!
It would be really good if there were mastercash 2p-4p tables. Even if it wasn't shown on the TV, would be fantastic to be able to play 200bb deep at 4nl.
I've been playing a bit on the 10nl Mastercash tables they are really good fun with a totally different dynamic to the regular 100 bb buy in tables.
Just an idea of something that i feel would benefit the site!

lol FCHD you always get the jokers on Sky:P
Do they think 2p-4p is significantly different to 10 nl haha
1) the hands shown on the show are selective (interesting hands)
2) Sometimes bad play makes for interesting hands!
3) It can't be any worse than some of the play at 10nl /20 nl:D
a prime example of why I don't think they will have a master cash for 2p 4p is these tables are just too poor with betting so basically all that means is you get hardly any action at all.
take this for example
a lot of the time it's just button clicking that you would be watching on nl4.
having a mastercash table for hands to be sent in would be fine
flip side is I don't think they would play 200bb deep too often, the vast majority of players at that level don't buyin for 100bb nevermind 200bb
Tbh, if it's really boring TV, then all they have to do is not show it, simple as. But at least have the opportunity.
Mastercash on the TV shows what about 15 hands a week? Would it really bother people that much if one of those hands was from a 2p/4p table?
when I think about it and after reading what you have said it is something that should be done.
as you said paul their might be less action but they not forced to show it.
plus the other side to the story is when people start poker tthey will most likely start on the NL4p so what better way to understand poker than showing hands from a nl4 in the poker school episode and the clinic or analyse my play.
i should have put more thought into my post because i asked about a hand which had strange play on Thursday and where was that from a 5p 10p
Nobody from Sky Poker, or Channel 861, has ever said that. Other players may have - the business has not.
Good & bad play exists at every level - it is all relevant.
I think the fact of it is most people like watching big money cross the felt regardless of how good the play is.
Yes of course you're right Tikay, it was other players making those responses, not a Sky employee/representative. Sorry if that wasn't clear in the previous post.
Just to recap it seems everyone would be behind it, overwhelming support for this. They have these tables at al other higher levels, so would make sense to include 4nl in this.
From a business perspective, like Don said, it's more rake and more profit for the business.
It could even be a segment on the show, trying to promote amongst new players, a "poker school" type segment. Not only would sky be saying that you can play 4nl up to 100nl, you would be able to show the lowest limit on the show, where as usually it is just the higher tables that are shown.
I just think overall, not talking about it being shown on tv (not many hands are shown anyway) but it would be a good dynamic to have games where people are sitting 200 bigs deep. I love it, and right now have to get my fix at 10 nl lol

I very much doubt any hands would be seen on TV due to the nature of the way the games play and should be played.
a 14 bet pre flop anyone lol
Is it just cos you think the standard of play will be really bad?
Or is it just cos of the amounts of money involved don't mean much to you? In which case, is a hand posted for the £11 ME rubbish in comparison to one posted from the £110 monthly roller?
i bet the viewing figures would be good as well just to see what they'd say!!
i think the tables would be a good idea as well
