Min50/100bb tables PLO
Any chance of getting some Min 50/75/100 BB tables PLO as well as the normal ones and even possibly 200BB? I understand there is an 'art' to short stacking cash games, but from a reg's prespective theres nothing worse than you sat there 200bb deep with other 'regs' who are equally sat as deep and then a guy decides to sit down with 15bb.... Also PLO50 seems to be taking off quite a bit more at the moment on sky, last night there was 7 full ring games going and there was potential for more, but no more empty tables would open once there was 7 running - can you increase that?
Hope this is something you could look into and maybe sort out as I said PLO games seem to be getting a lot more popular on sky recently and this would benefit all.

I'm up at Head Office first thing tomorrow, I'll ask them about your questions generally, & let you know.
I took the thread to the Top Bloke Chap in Head Office yesterday, & he was very helpful.
He's going to arrange some additional tables for PLO50.
He will also look at introducing a few "deep" PLO Tables. Won't be many (for now, anyway) as they don't want to put off genuine newbies who just want to try PLO for the first time & so, reasonably, want to sit "short". (Yes, I do know the pros & cons of the debate!).
Might take a few days, but it will be sorted shortly as above.
Good luck.
I never saw your reply until after I got back from Leeds, sorry. I'll have a word next time I'm up there.
There is, as you know, a bit of a problem with Heads up Tables, with folks botty hunting. Think if there were 100 of them, the problem would still occur!
Hit & runners? Its a fact of life in poker, something we all see from time to time, & just have to accept. Sure, it grates a bit when laddo scoops a big pot then disappears pronto, we feel sort of "violated", but they are not breaking any rules. Doubt they have many friends, either, but they are perfectly entitled to do it, as you know.
A kid used to do it regularly at G-Luton in the DC game. "Gotta dash, my train leaves in 5 minutes" was his standard line. He did it once at 3am in the morning......"got to go, my train leaves shortly".....
Yeah yeah, whatever.
Not sure why the "zzzz"?
I replied to you as follows......

I have no authority, power, or clout Upstairs, all I can do is try to oil the wheels & be helpful, pass on the request, & relay to you the reply I got.
I'm sorry if nothing has been done, & I'll send the thread back up to them. I can't do more than that.
Thread now sent Upstairs again.
I'll let you know if I get a reply, whatever it may be.
I've just heard back after I sent the thread up again this morning.
You asked for ADDITIONAL tables @ PLO50, & this was implemented immediately, the day I went up to Leeds.
On the other request, for DEEPER Tables, you never stated at what Limits you wanted. They don't want to do it at all Limits until they see how a limited experiment works.
So, let us know at what Level you want the Deeper Tables, & they'll probably sort it pronto-ish. It'll likely be "Mastercash" style, but not Mastercash, as PLO is not currently available to Ch 861.
I never asked that question, as it's a far wider issue generally, throughout the industry, & most sites are developing, or experimenting with, different ways of looking at this matter. This includes Sky Poker, I would imagine.
Just adding more Tables would not solve anything, the potential solutions are a little more complex.
