I assume Head Hunters count?
Potential ROI of 445% per table.
I just saw a guy win one with 5 heads, his ROI was 336%.
Not a good start for me, I was the fifth head; my J7 no good on a 779 flop lol. Bricked my first 6-max.
Just posted the same question on another thread.
Great minds.......!
Is it 6 Max? Yes.
So it 100% falls into the category of 6 Max Sit & Go's.
I think the 'losing the grinders' volume' is being overplayed slightly. Certainly when the leaderboard is put up you might have 6-10 players not willing to budge but others would have to play to try to catch up or just go back to their grinds. I like it for now, it's given me a bit of a rest after the rake race earlier in the month! Makes a nice change to be playing something different to DYMs too.
The sit and go tournament on sky are called 6max tournaments,these differ from DYMs and Head Hunter tournament.
Good morning.
Ooh, we have some confuseaments.
Well first up, I will write to Upstairs immediately, & ask them for a Ruling.
It should be fairly straightforward, & I hope they clear it up quickly, ideally this morning.
Either way......some players are going to be a bit disappointed, others gleeful, but hopefully not too upset. Both sides of the debate cannot be correct, that's for sure.
e-mail duly sent to Head Office.
Hoperfully, this can be cleared up this morning, nice & quickly.
My own personal view?
A "6 Max SNG" is a generic term. To me, it means any SNG which contains 6 players, & is listed in the Sky Poker SNG Lobby.
The confusion seems to arise from one particular variant offered in the Lobby, & called "Six-Max".
Note the different annotation between the specific product, & the generic term.
Six-Max
6-Max SNG
Anyway, the Suits will clarify this nice & quickly, I'm sure.
If - IF - playing Head Hunters has the potential for greater ROI, then anyone has the ability & right to play them.
1) Yes, ALL games you play wll count. You can play any permissable variant you wish, including DYM's & Six Max. That is up to you. ALL the results will be combined to arrive at your Average ROI. You cannot have seperate averages for Six Max & DYM's, it all goes in the same pile.
2) There is no minumum buy-in, you can partake at whatever buy-in you wish. Playing the smallest or biggest buy-ins does NOT affect your ROI, the Maths are identical.
3) Yes, many players are suggesting that DYM players are disadvantaged, although I note one DTM player reportedly played 9 DYM's yesterday, & won 8 of them, so that's a serious number. To give DYM players an "equal chance", the Promo would have to be specifically DYM's ONLY. The same applies to ANY SNG format - the only way the playing field would be COMPLETELY level is is the Promo was for that variant ONLY. As there are numerous variants offered, that would be unworkable. Players need to evaluate what they think is the best route, & play accordingly. If you think Six-Max is likely to produce higher average ROI's, then you should consider playing them.
Good Luck, whatever route you take, & I hope you enjoy it.
Thats a rather bold asumption, if I may say so.
How do you know it was not thought through properly?
6 players will make that £5,000 Guaranteed Final. 20 or 30 players will still be in with a chance as it nears the end of the Promo, on March 31st. But hundreds - maybe thousands, I've no idea? - will have entered Skill & Go. The vast majority of them, by then, will have no chance of making the Final.
Why would that force them to temporarily leave Sky Poker & play elsewhere, to "protect their position" if they are already out of the running?
I think what you mean is that the handful of players who post a monsta % early doors might then sit out to protect their position. Which may be true. But the % of players involved would be miniscule, & offset by the extra liquidity generated by the Promo. Maybe.........;)
Anyway, good luck with Skill & Go.
See my earlier replies.
It will be clarified this morning, & as it only began yesterday, I don't believe it will make a major difference.
Yes, a handful of early pacesetters may well "sit out" thereafter to protect their position, but as a % of the whole, that will be a very small number indeed.
I do quite like your other idea, of "five in a row", or something similar, but this, I fear, would be exploitable, & personally I'd be concerned as to the potential for collusion.
Who is TommyD?
That is my view, too.
