Hi Guys,
I doubt if it will be on tonight, but don't read anything "long-term" into that. The Suits are very busy revising the entire Tourney Schedule right now, which must take priority, but I am hoping (fairly confidently) that they will take note of this Thread in the grand scheme of things.
I shall not be around tonight, FWIW, as I'm "off" today, & planning to go play some Live Poker.
If & when the Tourney resumes, I will use all means at my disposal to support it - but to be fair, I did that before, & the Tourney still died, due to lack of numbers.
Hopefully, however, we will see a wider & better range of Tourneys on Sky Poker very soon, "something for everyone". There is currently a bias towards Tourneys for "regular players", & that's because thats where the demand is, but the guys who play at higher levels deserve some attention, too. The fact is, however, the bigger buy-in Tourneys have not, in the past, attracted much liquidity. We shall see.
Hi Guys,
I have just received a note from Sky-Adam to say he has built this Tourney, & it WILL run tonight.
A few details.
It will be called the "Monday Night Deepstack", & it will be highlighted in the Lobby. It will start at 7.15pm.
There was not time to organise Satellites for today, & it is yet to be decided whether Satellites will run for it.
It will be promoted tonight via the ticker, to help it gain attention.
What they have not done - time-constraints maybe, I'm not sure - is reinstate the "old" payment schedule. It will have a "regular" Payout structure, i.e, if only 10 – 29 run then it will only pay top 3, 30-49 = Top 5 etc etc
If this does not meet widespread approval, well, maybe we can ask them to change it at a later stage, in future weeks perhaps, but I think it wise to run with it "as is" for now, as we've had a bit of a result, really.
There will NOT be a Guaranteed Prize Pool, & my request to them specifically suggested this. My view is that if we don't request a Guarantee, & we go about asking in a civil manner, they can hardly refuse to run the Tourney. Anyway, I think Tourneys should stand on their own feet, & players get what they deserve, rather than artificially subsiding Tourneys.
Sadly, I cannot plat this tonight, but good luck to all who do.
And feel free to promote it around the Forum, tell your mates, Facebook it etc. If I were round, I'd happily do all that, but my hands are full right now, & I am out tonight.
By the way, big up to Sky Adam, who responded so quickly to this.
It shows that if we go about things in the right ay - i.e, in a civil, ordered & sensible manner, as we all did on this thread - then generally we can get what we want.
We have seen other threads where players want something (on other subjects) which are full of rudeness, bile, vitriol & sarcasm - then they wonder why they don't get what they want. It's just basic O Level psychology!
It's all about how you ask, more than what you ask, so well done Phil & Co.
Thanks James.
