Sky Poker Forums is upgrading its look! Stay tuned for the big reveal!
decent mtt with slowish structure £50-£200 buy in
surely there is some demand for this on here?
in my opinion the site has improved quite a lot since the beginning and things like this and the hand histories are welcome additions.
speaking as somebody who is + ev in the open and similar tourneys i would still state the tournies have a far to high degree of variance to accuratley judge whether you are playing profitable poker or not.
could we please have a 10 min clock tourney for a decent buy in , there is a lack of these that arent starting at silly o clock on the big american sites and this could be a big opportunity for sky to attract some more players to the site.

i truly believe a big flagship tourney would attract other players to the site
Sure some of the players would remember this and confirm
After all no poker site is going to continue putting high guarantees on tourneys that continue to fall below the number required to make up the guarantee.
I have played the deepstack and it is a very good tourn, blind structure is alot better than the speed of 'the open'... my only offput is the start time... but then this is obviously due to the longer blinds...
I think it takes around 4 hours for this game to get near its conclusion period, so its understandable it begins at 7.15pm.
However alot of people cannot make this time due to just getting home from work etc. Imo 9pm would be perfect, only drawback being the finishing time wouldnt be until very late... could just make it a weekly tourn, maybe fridays, or sats... run it alongside a bounty hunter or something...
There are so many other sites on the internet with such games, why would you want to play such a game on this clunky software?
How about rather than it being a GTD (and hence a certain number of people have to enter for the tourney to be kept running), the prize pool fluctuates depending on how many people are in the tourney?
eg... If on a night only 15 people make the tourney, then there would be a £750 prize pool with the top 3 being payed out. Hopefully over time as the site gets bigger and more people can afford the entry there will be 40+ people registering on average every night.
Once I get home, I'll be nagging & cajoling others to play this, & I'm sure we'll get the numbers up.
It's - pardon the word - FUN - to sit & chill with my friends in the Chat Box whilst playing a nice, steady structured, Tourney. I've made more friends playing the Sky Deepstack than any other Tourney, & it's super-relaxation time, & tremendous value, considering I enjoy playing poker, as I get 3 or 4 hours fun every time I play this.
By the way, I play in my time, with my money, & it's tremendous value for money, IMO.
