    I think that there has been a big increase in players playing this game that realise that deepstck poker bores the life out of them i have found that people had started to play this like the open it ruined it for me hence my absence

    **Sigh** from 500 to 300 to 200... I think dropping it to 200 is silly. I heard the other night it only had 7 players, I imagine they have seen this and changed it, but what about when it was getting 30+ regually? Why not boost the GTD and make it go from strength to strength... come on lets get behind this tourney and try get sky to boost it back up to the 500 it used to be. If it doesn't get moved from 200 it will just die, simple

    Also need help from Sky on this. if the numbers increase please slowly move the GTD up, it will encourage more players to play rather than doing the opposite and kicking a tourney while its down

    You can't really expect sky to do much else though if they are constantly losing money on it due to lack of interest. I think sky will have to change the structure if they want to make it more popular because as it is it takes too long to complete, and the amount of money you win isn't really worth the time imo. I love the structures of some of the other tournies on here such as primo and the double stacks but the 7 30 deepstack I just find boring. I think if people want to keep it as it is the only option to guarantee a larger prize pool would be to increase the buy-in, maybe that will encourage a lot more of the bigger players on here to get involved.

    I'd love to play this but my bankroll doesn't stretch to it :o(

    Maybe some sort of way to satellite would boost the entries?

    I'll try & give it a spin on Friday & Sunday, maybe Thursday, too, Anjie. Only because I care. Dear. ;)

    I'm not fussed about the Guarantee, personally. Sky Poker have thrown enough money at this over the months, & they have to try & spread the "guarantee Fund" around fairly. I want this Comp to have 50, 60, 70+ runners, & I'd play it nightly then, but with 15 & 20 Runners, it's less attractive. Unlike Anjie, who is gorgeoussssssssssssssssssss

    I played it the other day and there were only 7 players with 6 getting paid (no answers given on who came 7th lol).

    Seriously though, it's a hard tourney and needs some players. I dont care about the guarantee - just the competition - and thats not gonna happen with such small numbers. I would love to play it and will register tomorrow night as I'm too late tonight.  

    Let's all sign up and have a great game!

    Yeh 7 tonight, had to get top 4 for profit... I managed to win and got less than 3x my buyin back..??? ... As its the regular ds players on this thread do you think we should ask for the top 6 paid to be scrapped for now? Not sure if the top 6 is an attraction or a repellant... If you agree ill start a poll get more feedback on it.

    No, not another Poll, please! What will that achieve?

    Attack the root of the problem - lack of runners. That solves the Payout structure problem!

    It's better to attack the cause of the problem, not the symptoms.

    Tonights bounty hunter night in the main event right? - Probably the least attractive main event format for the 'better players' which this event is said to attract...So maybe theyll focus on this one instead?

    And with TP over for this week, Dan/Penguin etc who had started playing it recently might be back. 

    With Tk playing it too, theres a good chance of a big field, right?

    Will play this myself if that's the case, started enjoying tournys more lately rather than hating em! (bounty hunter is still the exception !) - One end of the spectrum to the other!

    Lol, not wrong. I'm blessed.

    When I do PTP, people often say "are you working tonight?", & I think to myself, wow, they think this is WORK?!

    I used to have a proper job, & then I retired. As I say. I'm blessed.

    See you tonight, in the 7.30.
