Sky Poker forums will be temporarily unavailable from 11pm Wednesday July 25th.
Sky Poker Forums is upgrading its look! Stay tuned for the big reveal!
The £15,000 guaranteed tournament every Sunday included a starting stack of 10,000 chips every week. This week it has been reduced to 5,000. The starting stacks no longer seem to make any sense. For instance if you compare 3 Bounty Hunter tournaments being played tonight, the three have different guarantees, different buy ins, but the same starting stacks. Does this make sense to anyone? They are the £2,000 guaranteed. £15,000 guaranteed, and the £10,000 guaranteed. The buy ins are £55, £110, and £33, and all of them have the same starting stack of 5,000 chips.
The WSOP have a formula where the starting stack directly relates to the buy in. Sky seem to operate on a pot luck basis, and have not given this much thought.

Hi Tony,
It has changed this week - & throughout January - as the Bounty Hunter Champion Promo has meant other regular MTT's such as the Sunday Major have been cancelled.
Not sure "not much thought has been given to starting stacks" is fair comment, but I get what you are saying.
Hope you are well, & as old & obdurate as ever.
The promotion has a lot of good points, but the lack of variety in the Mains (type, stack size etc) is not 1 of them
