The Return of the £22 deepstack
This great tourney is about to hopefully return. Now we need to ensure that the numbers get and stay high for it to succeed. The success of Dan's deepstack on Sunday's and the monthly Sky Sports tourney, as well as the sleepstack and double stacks have shown that there is a market of interest.
Monday seems to be a great day for the £22 deepie to be on - with satelittes running through the day. Perhaps even specialist sngs where winner gets entry could be tried?
Is 1 day OK per week for this tourney?
Is there enough forum regs who will play?
It was a really popular game a year ago, with high numbers when Tikay and Rich played.
Could we all get behind its re-introduction and make it a big success?
Cheers, Phil

Maybe try it once a week and when it takes off (fingers crossed) then increase it to 2 or 3 nights.
If there is sufficient interest, the Tourney could be reinstated with immediate effect. We all puffed it up relentlessly previously, but interest gradually waned no matter how hard we tried to promote it. From 30 & 40 runners every night, it gradually fell away, & eventully it stuggled to get 10 runners. Sky Poker originally offered a Guarantee on it, £500 or £300 I think, & as numbers fell, & they kept subsidising it, they understandably lowered the Guarantee week by week, for which they were roundly criticised.
With modifications - perhaps as a featured Tourney just once a week, or twice a week, or whatever - maybe that would rejuvenate interest.
So, yes, the Tourney could be revived, & I am happy to speak to the Suits & ask them to get it started. But I will not ask them to offer a Guarantee at this stage, because that might produce resistance to the idea, given how much they spent in subsidising it previously.
So, let's allow the thread to run it's course for a few days, & see where it takes us, & who wants what. Based on that, I am more than happy to "sell" the idea to Bernie.
great torney
I will deffo play every thursday, and try to play most mondays
however as I dont have a teaching job, mondays arent always possible -)
Sounds like a cracking idea to me, count me in lets get this tourny running again
How about making the Primo a proper deepstack tourney? 5K chips, 15 minute clock....
Just a thought.
