    Thanks again Churchy.

    Couldn't help noticing that there were 77 players that played just one of the four tournaments last week and another 12 who played just two of the tournaments. Imagine if they all played all four.

    Should we be looking at ways to encourage these players to play all four as its more money for SKY and bigger prize pools for everyone. Not sure what the answer is here but this has to be an opportunity to build on the early success of PLO8 Night.

    Maybe more & bigger weekly & monthly prizes?
  • edited August 2015
    steady on tiger, if you mention bigger prizes you might find that this whole thing gets dropped. each month sky are giving away 9/10 weeks worth of £9.90 for how much rake? (~£132 for the months worth of games). they also might realise over the last 6 months, a lot of those prizes have gone to erm....

    maybe Churchy could ask someone at sky to change the name of the thurs eves games to forum or FOSP PL08 challenge (or whatever) and include a sentence in the blurb to say see forum for details of the competition.

    see you on thurs
  • edited August 2015
    Think sky are giving us plenty in terms of prizes and then the overlay in the £150 game is pretty much £50 a week so they are giving away £330-£390 a month in backing this when you add it up for very lttle in terms of rake. and too be fair suprised they have not reduced the gtd in that.

    Not sure how else i can try and get more in it i post it on facebook and on here every week and have asked people like tikay and neil channing too play too try help attract players as well also went around all the plo8 games going on the thursday and told everyone about it but stopped as thought i was annoying a few people.

    I have emailed sam too ask about maybe getting the name changed as suzy says as that could be a big help as last week or the week before shellyyy won and did not even know until i asked if she knew she had been entered into the games about 30 minutes before the 1st game started.

    So think that could help and also i will ask about it maybe being stuck too the top like they do with dtd that might help also.

    Any other ideas please post them and we can try them anything that will get more players playing and more money in the prizepools.

    You do a great job promoting the PLO night.

    My comment was really related to the number of players that play at least one PLO8 tournament on a Thursday but don't appear to be actively playing the event. Some of these obviously won't or cannot play all four but no doubt there will be some who aren't aware. My main train of thought is that to the casual player who doesn't read the Forum much then there appears no obvious link in the lobby between the tournaments. It would be great if SKY could link them like they do with DTD on Mondays although I guess the regular tournaments are linked to the ones on other days of the week.

    My point about more goodies from SKY was really in the long term after the numbers increased. The numbers are great for PLO8 from a standing start. I just feel that linking the tournaments in the lobby would speed up the growth process.

    You're doing all you can Churchy. More than should be expected I'd say.
    I think you/Sky have realistically hit the saturation point for expected numbers to play these tournaments. In hindsight, we were all probably too unrealistic with our requested buy-ins for these. Simply, they are too small. There's obviously a fine line between wanting new players to have a go, hence the x2 £1 jobbies, but I'd hazard a guess these micro stakes are putting a lot of people off. Unless you love playing the game, managing to hit a FT yet only winning enough to buy a happy meal, isn't much of an incentive. It's probably been said before, but a buy-in of at least a tenner is needed to attract the NLHE tourney regs to the any4cardbingo.com world.  At least a tenner.  Too late now though me old pal, don't sweat it, what will be, will be....
    Anyroad, I'm donating in them tonight, don't know why as I get bored in tourneys and give up.
    Catchya later.

    Hi Brian. pls can I have 5 sets of thurs free entries. pls do not ban me, I have thought about trying to give something back to the community, but everytime I write something on the forum it seems to antagonise someone! If anyones Ploppers are interested I'd be happy to review hands either on the forum or privately via PM. If its any consolation, the last 50 or so tournaments on stars haven't gone so well! cheers, suzy666.

    hi Brian / sky Dan,

    Thanks for the kind words people but it is not just me who has done it is all of you who play every week.

    Steve never meant it too come out as if i was moaning just not sure how/what else too try do I agree with mac that what is probably missing is a bigger buy in too attract more players from hold/em as she hits it on the head with winning a happy meal last night the 9.20 game was on till after 12 and i finished 3rd for £6/7 so 3 hours for £5odds not really going too attract someone who grinds £11+ mtts.

    any1 with any ideas please leave them and maybe we can try and see if sky could maybe help us out with a small change too the schedule.

    And yes suzy666 you should have been entered tonight and next week is your last will message dan too try get it sorted but think kirsty was dealing with that set of entries will try get it sorted.

    EDIT: Just noticed sky dan has changed name of games and hopefully from next week/month there will be a small blurb linking it too the this thread.

    Great that the names have been changed. That will help.

    Think we maybe fall between two stools. There is a market for £1/£2 tournaments and another market for £5/£10+ tournaments. Understandably several players skip the £5 tournament. If we were tarting from scratch, maybe we would have four £2.20 tournaments.

    Maybe someone should experiment on a different evening with a £10 PLO8 tournament or maybe put one into the regular schedule.

    Thanks Brian/Dan.

    I only found out about this because somebody told me. It's not very obvious from the name of the games that this is a league, hopefully the name changes will help.

    You could PM all the people playing only one game and explain what they are missing.

    The league prizes are fine; if more people enter the prizes for the games will go up anyway.

    In Response to Re: FOSP OMAHA HI/LO LEAGUE THURSDAY 20TH AUGUST ALL WELCOME:
    Thanks again Churchy. Couldn't help noticing that there were 77 players that played just one of the four tournaments last week and another 12 who played just two of the tournaments. Imagine if they all played all four. Should we be looking at ways to encourage these players to play all four as its more money for SKY and bigger prize pools for everyone. Not sure what the answer is here but this has to be an opportunity to build on the early success of PLO8 Night. Maybe more & bigger weekly & monthly prizes?
    Posted by Ice_Tiger
    (See also the reply by suzy).

    I could do this without asking upstairs, but we have to be realistic with these things. It's great that Brian & others work so hard to run this, & of course you all know how much I would love to popularise PLO8.

    However......

    At present, it is simply not cost effective, even at the present volumes, for Sky to donate the prizes they do. In truth, that cash could be put to better use, with something that was more cost-effective. The money would still be given away for something, but right now, this League is costing Sky Poker more than can be justified.  

    Sorry to be Mr Wet Blanket, but them's the facts, so I'm afraid there is no chance of adding additional money, it just makes no sense. At some stage, it may even be that the prizes for this are reduced, & the cash saved used for some other League-based affair.

    hi,

    I personally think a 2.2 game with 3000 (or 2000) chips, starting at 8pm everyday would be popular. lots of people are playing the 1.1 games daily would also likely play it. with a reasonable field it would also attract the daily 5.5 regs to play alongside. with no guaranatees could it hurt?

    It might do, yes.

    There's a double edged sword here. Many of those who play the £1 jobbies cannot afford to go up to £2 every night, 7 nights a week. Personally, if there were a £5 or tenner every night, I'd play both, but the fields would be horribly small I fear. It sounds a bit offensive & elitist to say I cba to play a £1 Tourney, but you get my drift, I hope?

    Anyway, lets discuss it, get some feedback from those who currently play regularly, & see what they think.

    I can say, with 90% certainty, that if it was felt by the players that a nightly £5.50 or £11 PLO8 MTT was in demand, I could get Sky Poker to set it up. I'd just ask them & I think they would do it. I would NOT ask for it to carry a Guarantee though. If we - the players - demand a Guarantee, it probably won't get approved by Sky Poker. It might, but personally, I would not recommend it.
     
    For what it's worth, (not much....) if there were bigger PLO8 or PLO MTT's here, I would commit to playing them regularly.

    There are nightly £5 games (pretty sure one carries a £100 guarantee) but I think the fields are fairly small, however we had
    39 runners in last nights £5 game, smashed its guarantee (If we were going to try a £10 game, I think it would be best on Thurdsday)

    64 runners in the £2 game, missed its guarantee again, perhaps this game should be £3 with same guarantee

    Perhaps change one of the leagues £1 games to a £2 game (the later one) as I agree with whats been said, I will sometimes jump into that if the others are going badly (often) but really cba playing so late for so little (an hour playing a few Dym makes you the same as a win)
  • edited August 2015
    Interesting dilema to find an answer to.

    1. What attracts most people to play these and what would attract more?
        Cheap tournament?
        Guarantees?
        Just for the fun?
        The competition?

    Idea:
    1950 - £1 game - Add a £50 guarantee (seem to get the numbers to cover it)
    1825 - £5 game - Keep as is.
    1840 - £2 game - As Neil suggests, make it a £3 game (or reduce guarantee to £100)
    2120 - £1 game - Make it a £2 game.

    I guess its just different strokes for different folks.

    Some great replies as tikay said we should be careful at how we do this as sky really do give this a lot of backing and feel it is unfair too ask for more until week on week the numbers rise it is just trying too get more people interested.

    Have sent sam a email(hes off till monday i think)asking if there was maybe a way too get it posted on the offical sky poker facebook page/twitter feed

    Also too get a small blurb in the details pointing people too this thread think that will help just like the names being changed on the games  great idea suzy.

    Also thursday is the 1st night the £2.20 game has been visible if playing on a tablet think that helped boost the numbers slightly as well for that game don,t know why i never pointed it out before.

    Here is an idea maybe some will like it some won,t for those wanting a £11 game how about a big 1 last sunday of the month and we could rework the prizes so instead of entry into all four games give them option of which they prefer. to get that too work we would probably drop the 2nd place £33b/hunter seat make it entry too the sunday game or all four on the thursday or somthing along those lines.

    What about also if we could get a monthly game on the go sky could maybe run a sat every night 1 seat gtd £2 buyin too try help build entries try that for a month and see how it goes as i feel if it got too 30 it could maybe take off as some of the bigger buy in players would maybe be more intrested if they where going for £100 for 1st instead of what some of them pay in buy ins day in day out.

    I have tried mick tikay wont go for it will ask dan if he will change suzy666 too macacgirl and then tikay will deffo ban her:@}


    Again thanks for replies and ideas and the support all give this great wee game.

    And also thanks too sky for the prizes they provide thanks too sky dan, sky sam, sky kirsty and of course tikay {sorry roffels not annoyed you yet:@)for sorting out prizes and all else you do for us.

    All the best brian
