MTT changes & discussion thread

I;m very disappointed at the loss of the 8,50pm BH .. i play for fun not big stakes so not sure how the greedy approach really sits with me as there are no other games for around 2.30 around that time .. money isn;t everything

Hi Craig,

Not yet mate.

James is busy trying to get the whole of the new schedule slotted in, so let's wait & see how it looks when it is complete. It'll be finalised by the end of the week.

The Suits are following this thread avidly, don't worry about that, so they'll see all the comments & feedback which, for the most part, has been constructive & useful, just what they wanted to see.  

And it won't please everyone, we all know that, but the thing to remember is that, to a degree, its trial & error, & nothing is cast in stone.

Sky Poker really DO listen, believe me.

CraigSG1

Thanks and I know they do, one of the reasons this is my main site. Thanks again.

Sorry to hear that debs, but shall we wait & see how the finished schedule looks before we assume too much? There is still a £2.30 BH with a £400 Guarantee at 20.05, as far as I know.
 
I'm not sure what "greed" has to do with anything, except that poker players play for money, & poker sites try to earn a few bob, both of which are right & proper.

The suggestion that the Little Guys & Gals have been forgotten - did you see the new Micro MTT last night? 55p to enter (55 PENCE) with a £100 Guarantee.  Sky Poker won't be getting fat out of that one, will they?

Another surprise awaits Sky Poker's army of smaller stakes players very soon, too. Watch this space, as they say.
 
I'm all for the smaller budget players bring looked after, & spent 5 years championing their rights as Chairman of APAT, so I certainly pass on my thoughts to the Suits as to the little guys. It's my honest view that they get looked after pretty well, too.

I spotted this in the lobby and clicked on it out of interest, it had about £37 up top.....for 0.55p!

(being a tight Scotsman I am a sucker for value, almost as much as thse gravy slurping Yorkshiremen)

If I wasn't in the process of stealing TKs blinds and had space on the laptop I would have dug deep and entered that.

55p MTT --worth an exclamation mark that is! I will definitely playing more on Sky than I have been.

I've put in another £3.30 £50 Omaha Hi-Lo at 7.45pm. The Omaha Hi-Lo schedule is now much better for you. There is £290 a day in guarantees instead of £100 with many games with no guarantees barely running. Plus another £350 on Thursdays. I think it would diminish the Thursday night games if all these FOSP games ran every night. If demand increases though I will consider adding more.

Thanks james looks good i like the gtds as well.

This is 1 of the main reasons why i and probably a lot of others play on sky we can deal with people that can actually make things happen and are given the chance to offer our opinions and ideas on the games on offer on the site.

cheers brian

TheMadMonk

like playing on sky,but theres not a lot to play,would like to see some freezeout mtts with decent gtd,with buy ins ranging from

20euro to 50euro. all i seem to be able to find are b/h or timed tournies,with the rest of the schedule made up of low buy in/low gtd mtts.

cant wait for this one, I've got to say the 50p £100 guarantee a great addition  for the micro/hobby players.

MTT Mission question.

In the blurb it states:

Your Mission...

1. Enter code to opt in:

MISSION

2. Choose 1 of 3 weekly MTT poker point targets:

Week 1 Targets
Target 1 → 50
Target 2 → 250
Target 3 → 500 

I have entered the bonus code, it seems you do not have to "choose" your level (e.g. like you chose your premiership promo league) so I assume you just get awarded a token according to the points earned?

I think it is better that way but the wording above implied (to me anyway) that you had to chose up front.

Tikay10

Hi POTO,

By "choose" I believe they mean you only have to "choose" personally your target to aim for, you don't have to commit to it. 

As in, don't fill in Target 1, 2 or 3, just decide which one to try & attain, it is your own "personal" target.

Thanks for your reply Tikay, I appreciate it and look forward to other smaller stake games, the 55p game is a good addition but some of us don't get to sit down till later and if out of the 8.05 bh early there are no other low stake games to play except the sit n go but a longer game is sometimes more fun. Kind regards, Debs

If I play its usually around 10pm, when the wife goes to bed tired and I've got an hour or two "me" time.  Used to play the £2.30BHs, that was managable, but I can't afford to keep throwing away a fiver every night.  Shame, got to know a few people and had a laugh with a few.

2 MTT's that are being retired.....

£300 Megastack (Deepstack) @ 8.30pm. This repeatedly missed it's Guarantee, and there remain plenty of other Deepies.

£1,000 Bounty Hunter @ 8.30pm. Plenty of other BH's, & considering this had a prime slot, it did not do very well.  

Tikay10

Everything should be in place to get the new schedule launched with the Midnight Express tonight. I suspect this one will start at Midnight.

I like what you have done with the new major additions and them all having their own title.Very wp

Just going to jump to the defence of the Megastacks. Is there any way that the guarantee can just be lowered (eg £100) and kept on the schedule?.

 These games are the only ones with a 10k starting stack for the lower bank roll players. They only ran Mon/Wed/Frid, and were developed originally by the players. It would be a shame (imho) if they were lost.

daggers747

The mega stack was originally chosen by the forum as a new tournament.  It is not for everyone but was regulally played by

Jawzindaws and Wacko it was a joy to pitch me skills against these

excellent players.

Take the guarantee away as has been done with the Offordable deep stack friday at 7.10 it gets a very strong field and still runs with 60 to 70 runners i think the mega has a loyal following and can still be successful.

If people stop playing it let it go but 3 times a week i think it still works a lot of good players play it for a reason.

Please don't bring back the MEGA stack as it was. It was painfully deep especially when you consider late reg was only open half an hour or so. You can have deep stacked MTT's without taking it to the point of it being overly deep just for the sake of it. 

Glad its been removed.

The new schedule is looking great.

Looks like the Tuesday and Wednesday Mains are both now £33, although not clear what the format is.  This is good as far as I am concerned as the Tuesday Main was always too much of a lottery and the Wed rebuy, although enjoyable, proved rather expensive and most weeks I need to FT in order o break even.  Onwards and upwards....
To counter this though it looks like the £55 7pm jobbie* on a Sunday is now a rebuy and shd meet its guarantee through me alone
Also interessted to see more about the Friday £110 jobbie*

I am getting all excited TommyD!  Tommy!



*Yes I have had been brainwashed by Tikay and now use jobbie all the time doh

Paul, I believe

Friday £110 is a bh

Tues main is a freezeout

Wed rebuy main is now on a Friday but is £22 so you can fire a few at that one!

I am not sure if £55 rebuy is in addition to the £55 freeze or instead of so would be good if someone could clarify that

jdsallstar

I don't remember an 8:30pm 1k bh'er what was the buy in for this?

SoLack

Thanx Matt

Presumably he means the 8:15pm (20:15) £11 jobbie.  I think it used to be at at 8:30pm (20:30)

goldnballz

I would also like to see the MEGA stack remain. Why not increase the late reg on it?? 60-90 min late reg & it would easily meet its guarentee, imo

aiken2001

Will put my two eggs in reference the megastacks/sleepstacks by all means drop that gaurantee but keep the tourney maybe dropping it in a little bit earlier. The bigger stack is what players get to mess about with at the better live tourneys and other than the occasional person who wonders in and does not realise the point of the game these are generally played by your hard core regs on here more for fun and to accompany the orfordable and dtd#s.
