    Good to see Mega Stack still in place tonight. Doubt it will hit the heady heights of last week, but hopefully will meet its guarantee and ensure survival for another week!

    I've said it before but can the structure of the megastack please be looked at?

    We're 2 hours in, and it goes from 500bb start stack to an average stack of 20bb by the 600/1200 level. Starts far too deep and then gets far too shallow, just a simple job of removing a couple of early levels and adding some later levels would make it flow so much better.

    It did get very fast pretty soon. Presumably the appeal of having a mega stack is to play a more deep stacked game than normal, but this turns into a turbo relatively quickly.

    Not just whining for the sake of it as I think Sky do a really great job with tournaments, but this one does seem odd. Some levels are missing?

    Yeah, clearly needs a 250/500, 500/1000, 1250/2500 and 2500/5000 level. Then just remove 3 or 4 of the first 6/7 levels.

    This is the first hour, just so easy to trim that and add those ^

    Totally agree.

    For a Mega Stack it does turn into a shove-fest too soon, though I'm just glad it's back.

    Well played tonight Jon

    Appreciate that you are only the messenger.

    Have to say that, if sky cannot get 200 players in a Main, then that Main needs to be changed

    5k for a main event is shameful, the most annoying part is that tuesday is my second favourite day to play poker and I really like the iceman

    It's a disappointment, yes, but if the players don't want to play it in sufficient numbers.......

    Not sure we can just point the finger at Sky Poker.
     
    It would have a bigger Guarantee if it were a BH, but then it'd be "oh, Sky Poker only run Bounty Hunters" & that would be followed by "what, no Freezeouts?".
     
    It's a proper rock & hard place.

    I agree Sky do a great job and you cant blame them for reducing a guarantee if numbers arent met. I Just wish we could meet the numbers !

    Starting tonight, the Tuesday Main Event is now (takes deep breath.....) Gold Rush, a £33 entry, £6,000 Guarantee, 10,0000 chip mega-stack Bounty Hunter with 7 minute blinds.

    Got that?

    The Mini, at 8.30, will follows the same logic, but will be £5.50 entry, & £2,000 Guarantee.

    *wonders if the person coming up with that name (Gold Rush) is also a fan of the TV show on Discovery which shares the same name :)*

    I built a new structure as yes it was pretty ridiculous. It was from the old Turbo Tuesday. Hopeully the Gold Rush will be more popular!

    You don't get that kind of service at other sites eh? Granted their structures would probably be spot on in the first place but still...

    Not sure what the thoughts are on the mini, but would be good to have some of the later levels added to the main also included in the mini imo? from memory, turbo tuesday always got a bit too punty after the big jump from 800bb to 1200bb as average stacks are already getting v short by this point
