We're having a dinner party, 6 people have walked off. Do I class these as away participants and raise their main course?

PS Im not in the freeroll

4 away at mine - me and other active player went to war trying to steal the blinds. Got it all in pre 77 vs K9. GG!

What if they suddenly sit back in and 3bet me with vegetables?

I bet you eat their dinner ! :-)

There a good lesson to be learned in positional advantage that becomes apparent immediately when  your 6 handed with 4 away. 

The other present player has almost no advantage over me, I have 3 away to my left, he has one.

Guilty.

Mixed bag for your teams today. Villa are doomed. Bournemouth should be fine.

I've worked out the maths.

If I have 2 veg from 9, then I'm 22% to lose weight.

That's from the Bigbluster school of maths so its watertight.

14 mil chips in play still 3k playing 7min blinds could be a long one for the winner.

What he doesn't know about Maths aint worth knowing so I will have to agree

There are several tables with 6 away players. It'll be interesting to see if any of them cash before breaking

I remember it happening in the first one

GaryQQQ

At the time of writing, 1 hour and 20 minutes after the tournament started, there are still 21 tables with 6 away players

Just 5bet bluffed one of them off dessert. Show me the chocolate.

unknown_username

i wish there was a like post facility

Going out guys, have a fun evening all.

Peace.

craigcu12

i'm clicking the i'm back button more than the fold, how else will the blinds be able to reach 1000/2000 before my chips drain away.

craigcu12

It passed the bubble and atleast 3 tables were still totally away.

Not according to turnip scope three carrots a month let's you pass on parsnip

So... 2 tables left, 12 million chips in play but the blinds have stopped at 50,000/25,000. No incrrease in them for what feels like an hour. It has become a stalemate

A very profitable stalemate in your case - congratulations.

Yes, a free £100 is brilliant. Thanks very much Sky

I see the game ended at half 3 which is much earlier than I thought it would with everyone playing so deep. Still much later than I would like to play poker.

Free money, away players and we still moan (I don't mind away players...) but I'd still like to know whether the blind structure stalling was planned or accidental and, if the latter, are Sky going to look into it?

For a free £100, I think I'd happily stay up a bit later on a Saturday night, to be honest.

The 7 minute blinds was deliberate, to help it "play better", as players often complain that 3 or 4 minute blinds are too fast, which may be fair comment. Given how much money was on the line, I think that was a good call.

The Capped Blinds at 25,000-50,000? I'd say that was a mistake, perhaps it had not been realised that it would reach that level. It may even be - I don't know, just speculating - that the software does not have blind levels bigger than 25,-000-50,000. You make a fair point there.
 
I may be wrong, but has Sky Poker ever previously had an MTT with north of 3,500 runners? I can't think of many, if any. Last night's two Freerolls may have been the biggest MTTs on Sky Poker ever, measured by number of entrants. And there were 2 of them, 10 minutes apart.
 
I do confess I was a little nervous, but I know as little as any other players here about what Sky Poker's software can or can't cope with. I was 6 tabling DYM's all evening, & the software was behaving exactly as it always does, with no apparent (to me) problems. Apart from the fact I lost a whopping £42.50 in pursuit of x2 Reward Points. Sort it out, Sky.     

QUICKFEET

Yes, the 7 minute blinds were much better - spot on

It was a good promo - very accessible - and I really enjoyed it.

Just an odd ending last night but I am sure Sky will review it and make improvements if possible

Cheers
