Cash Game Table Changes - Action Tables
Hi Everybody,
Starting today we will be changing the selection of Cash Tables we offer and shall be removing "Action Tables" from the lobby.
A selection of "Action Tables" have already been removed and the remainder of the tables shall be removed over time.
Many thanks.
Sky Peter.

Surprised they are being removed.
They were decent tables to have.
get rid of the capped tables if anything
Defo keep the Capped tables, recreational players love them.
And please pelase keep the 1/1 on Mastercash 40

eg tonight at 10pm we have 2 capped and 4 normal tables going
Normally if no capped get going we would have about 10 to 12 normal tables at this time.
I had a conversation explaining why this happens with one of guys in charge (forgot his name) but nothing was done.
I assume Sky would prefer 10 to 12 normal tables going than 4 plus 2 capped.
Silver lining of capped tables is they are softer.
also im with tommyd on keeping the super deep 1/1, or just have a 400bb deep .5/1
Don't know if it was by accident or design, but when doing last night's Show, we showed action from MasterCash Table 40, which is a £1 £1 Action Table with a max pull up of 200 Bigs.
Looking at the lobby this morning, it is still there, but all the other Action Tables have gone.
To Quote the 1960's group 'Them' "Baby please don't go, you know we love you so baby please don't go.'
Oh and P.S. to other posts above, HU Cash tables hurt liquidity more than capped tables.
Disappointed to see these go as they always seemed to be more gambler-rec-bias at 10p/20p/30p levels, but am sure the analytics have shown them to not earn enough money.
Be interesting to see if this is move to creating a super simple site (as few variants as possible) or is more about freeing up capacity to bring in other inovations (rush poker / anonymous tables - or something completely new)!
I'd agree with having the option of heads up cash however, I wouldn't really want to see them eliminated. Because choice to me at least is good. I would however like to see a tight limit of spawning of tables per level (around 3 or 4 max) and a quick boot if one party is sat out and the other is sat in. Can we agree on that?
Most of my point about eliminating heads up cash tables was:
They are less popular in terms of hands played and tables running than the now defunct action cash tables and;
They are worse for site liquidity than the capped tables. While capped tables are big generators of rake they are also a lot more comfortable for recreationals to play, they are more fun and popular than heads up tables. The calls in here for these to be thrown out are in my opinion completely wrong. 95 out of a 100, the heads up table only runs when a reg sees the other player as being significantly weaker, we hardly have any regs taking on each other. I'm not saying this is wrong but I am saying if we are going to shepherd deep pocketed recreational players away from anything for the good of liquidity it should be away from HU games rather than the capped games where the money gets spread around, they have a much better chance of winning than at HU and you know, crazy notion, win or lose they might just leave with a smile on their face and want to come back again, win or lose. Because they were entertained. They get chatted to, there is banter, there is fun. The only thing a recreational player hears on a HU cash table is:
'More tables'
'Top up'
'You're so bad'
'Play higher'
I play them from time to time, they arnt good for site but if theres 5 regs on normal and 5 recs on capped its hard to justify playing normal tables.
