No chance of that baby disappearing, though if Mr Bates keeps upsetting Sky James, you never know.

It will be having its name changed by Deed Poll though, as the term "Speed" is being replaced by "Turbo".

please have a turbo bounty hunter 5pm is too early and nothing then till 10.15pm.  whereas normal bounty      hunters get them at 18.20, 18.45 and 19.15 bit on the unfair side.

Good evening Sir Tikay.

Would it be possible to extend the late reg for the 2.15 deepstack, it would give Parents who have to pick up their children from school a chance to play, and help towards smashing the guarntee.

All the best.

More £3.30 Bounty Hunters please throughout the day
Posted by F1N63RS

EXCUSE THE CAPITALS BUT A BIG BIG BIG BIG YES PLEASE TO THIS. By far my favourite MTT is the early morning £3.3BHs but being on shift only get to play them sparingly. They are very popular at that time of day so can only be better supported throughout the day and later on. Better value than the £5.75BH because of the rake. On that note can we please have all the £5 BH on 10% rake like every other. Don't know why these are singled out at a larger %

There will be no more £5.75 Bounty Hunters..... ....because they will all become £5.50 Bounty Hunters .   They are currently still being shown as £5.75, but this will change between now & 1st October.   There are so many changes, they are being done day by day, rather than overnight in "one go".

It looks like the schedule has been very kind to those of us who like the Deepstacks.  It made me smile that Rainman's new alias is Rainman215 it's as if he is psychic!! Hope you are wearing your armour Tikay for all the flak you will no doubt be fielding in the days ahead.  I will read the thread with interest.

It might just get worse before it gets better. The new "overall" schedule will be announced on, I think, Monday, including the new Main Events which may have changed. Think the Forum might just catch fire then, but I'll be fine, & I really do understand the way poker players think & why they get a bit uppity when things change. Together, the players & The Business, we'll work thought it, & within a few weeks everything will settle down.
 
In June last year, the new Rewards Scheme was introduced, & the thread was just horrible, so many folks thought Sky Poker were lifting their legs. Within a few weeks, most realised that, on balance, it was better for most, & in fact the data supports the fact that it actually increased traffic here. 

So yes, it might get a bit warm, but as long as people are civil, it'll be fine, & we'll not dodge any questions. My tolerance, which is endless, does get a bit stretched when I see multiple exclamation marks - wtf are they supposed to mean? If I fail to see one exclamation mark (& oh boy, I promise you I won't, half the world seems to have forgotten how & when to use them)) I'm not gonna see 3 or 4 of them, am I?

Seems a little harsh, that.

Could you get an answer on if they will introduce more £3.30 MTTs of varying degrees.

I honestly don't know, dmw, but we'll see in the next few days I guess.

They won't be removing anything which has good demand & covers guarantees, that would not make sense. But if they struggle for numbers, or clash with something else, then yes, they may disappear. 

Let's wait & see.

Hi mate,

Might be possible, but we'll need to wait until Monday to get an answer on that, I don't really want to trouble the suits un-necessarily over the weekend if I can help it.

Sam & James work very hard in the week, they are in the office by 11am every day, & rarely leave for the golf course until at least 2pm, even as late as 3pm most days, so they deserve a break at the weekend.

I'll try & find out on Monday, Craig.

If there is a demand, yes is the likely answer. If there is not.......

Me and my multiple personalities would be happy to start a petition.

Hi Tony.  Thanks for this thread, the infomation about changes is very useful.  However it gets a bit lost amongst the waffle and teacakes if youi get my gist (and pun).  Therefore would it be possible to have a closed thread that just lists the changes and keep this one for the moaningful discussions etc?

Btw is it possible to scrap all low stakes MTTs on Sky, they just clog the place up?**





**this is meant as a funny ha ha just in case.....

Morning Paul,

"waffle & teacakes" indeed.......;)

I think that may be a good idea actually.

I'll start a separate thread which will include all the changes & Updates, but no waffle, & that will be LOCKED.

I'll also put the same stuff on this thread, then folks can choose which thread to check.
 
Anyway, that aside, in the waffle & teacakes dept, how you keeping these days?

Tikay10

There you go Paul, done, HERE

Excellent idea, well done and thanks.

cheers

Good to the finally see the death of the £5.75 Bounty Hunters - The new £5.50 ones should get more players as i know i,m not the only one who was put off by paying that extra bit off rake. Didn,t think i was getting value

Reg Fees on Rebuys & Add Ons

When you buy into a Rebuy Tournament initially, the standard 10% Reg Fee will apply.
 
However, subsequent Rebuys & Add Ons will NOT attract a Reg Fee.

Hi mate,

Good to share a few tables with you recently.

I'm not sure of the answer to that at the mo - I seem to have lost the Spready the Office sent me after I saved it in a secret place & then forgot where it was....

I'll get back to you.
 
If they HAVE disappeared, don't panic. Everything is open to discussion & review, & nothing is cast in stone. 

They will want to give the new schedule a bit of time to bed in, but be assured, some mistakes & errors will occur, & if need be will be corrected.
