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!
Could 'happy hours' be used to boost quieter areas of the site?
For example the PLO8 DYM traffic has dipped a bit since the new PLO8 BH MTT's were introduced. Would it be worthwhile having 'happy hours' offering double points on PLO8 DYM's to help boost traffic? Might work a treat as people try to earn points for the VLV leagues etc. It also might let some of the newer plo8 players who do not already know, that the DYM's are there to be played.
I understand NLHE is way more popular and therefore there isn't thousands of £'s to throw at OH8 in promotions, maybe the 'happy hours' suggestion would help highlight the games at minimal cost to Sky though?
Could possibly be used to help boost traffic at the PLO8/PLO cash tables too.

Myself, Whizzewky and UrABawbag tried to get some cash games going the day before yesterday and the rake aspect is really killing it, especially short handed. Anytime there is mention of PLO8 cash games players mention that it is pointless due to the high rake.
In fact even with double points it would without doubt be profitable for Sky. With a double points offer there would be at least 'some traffic' during points races and some traffic is undoubdtedly better than the current levels.
Would also be a pretty bad day if the NLHE crew grudged the ploppers that tiny concession too IMO, almost all, if not all, promos are designed around NLHE.
There hasn't been much response though so I guess there isn't much appetite for it. Not a big deal anyway
Thanks for the reply and hope things are going well with you!
Hope things are going well with the diet! I think we are both making roughly the same progress.
Regarding the # of players... Chris posted a few weeks into the new leaderboard games and we had around 400-500 unique players. Not sure what it is now but I would imagine there must be around 1000 now, just for the 2 evening PLO8 BH games.
