It's the first sit n go promo, give it a chance.
I agree that 30 is abit low, but it gives everyone a chance which is what it is designed to do.
Maybe there is some way that the people who play more would be rewarded but no idea what. Maybe add 0.1 or 0.05 roi for every extra game over 30 ?
Sounds like a really decent promo from what I've read so far.
Is the 5k prize pool split amongst the top 100? Or is it only the top 6?
30x 6-max SnGs is the way to go, that's what I'll be trying
8 x 1st and 1x 2nd are needed to break-even. That leaves another 21 games to try and build a decent ROI.
Reading through this thread, some people would complain if they won the lottery and it wasn't a rollover week.
So the issue is that the promotion currently favours run-good in the first 30 games over long-term performance. The promotion also discourages players from playing many more than 30 games if they have a good start and makes playing beyond those first games meaningless if those 30 do not go well.
I think it's easily the best promotion I've seen on sky. It just needs one or two little tweaks.
If I fluke a golden run and hit the final table, can I have a years supply of twiglets instead please?
No way.
You get one of these.
PS - "See" you tonight. The DYM's were GREAT fun last night!
Fantastic idea, Sky Folk. It seems to be really well thought out too. I'll definitely be giving this one a go
50p DYM = 50p + 10p (so 20% rake)
Is there any advantage at different stakes,or is it a level playing field,no matter what stakes you play?
From the sites POV they should've made it clear that only the first 30 sngs you play count for the promotion.
That way sng grinders are free to grind on as usual afterwards.
It's the promo equivalent of an allin sat, as the luck required to get a top 6 place is huge.
But it sounds fun because everyone has a chance. The volume required is very low, and even the worst player on the site can godmode over 30 games.
Just think it's abit of a fail IF the intention was to increase sng liquidity (short and long term).
There should have been a different section for DYMs as reg 6 max sit and goes you could get 100% roi over a 30 game sample, dyms is impossible to gain this.
I will be playing so I will try some reg sit and goes and if I go on a streak I will stop for the month, play exactly 30 and see where I am.
There's probably gonna be 200+ people easily who end up playing 30 SnGs. Just through basic averages there's a very good chance that over the course of 30 SnGs, 6 people from that big a player group will probably have a sick ROI from their first 30 games. Given it's free entry to a £5k GTD SnG, it would be pretty nuts to play on and damage your chances of winning entry.
1) There is no advantage for low or high volume players
*People are saying it won't but it will. For a start most people who really wanna go for it are gonna be playing 'regular' SnGs cos ROIs are better and these never run so you're gonna have 200+ people (imo) all trying to get at least 30 games in and they've only got 2 weeks to do it. IIRC it's hard enough to get 1 game going, so you probably aint gonna be suddenly 6tabling them, it's gonna take a fair bit of time to get 30 games in so I think there will be pretty steady traffic on them for the last 2 weeks of March deffo. After that of course it might go back to normal, who knows, maybe people will get a taste for them, realise the lower rake (at micros) and better ROIs that are attainable v DYMs and action might increase a bit.
