Sit and Go - Freerolls
I have seen there has been a lot of discussion on the Forum recently regarding freeroll's, resulting in the 10 point one's being removed and higher paid one's replacing them with a higher buyin.
Which unfortunately does not suit everyone such as myself who only play at the moment at low stakes poker so do not play enough to earn enough points to be playing in these games to often.
So what i have seen on other sites is that they offer 10 seat SNG's freerolls entry for free no poker points required with $0.10 prizepool split to the top 3. Where they cap each player to a maximum of 25 entries to these per 24 hours. So this would benifit us lower limit players who would still like to play freerolls but don't have an oppurtunity due to not having enough point's. This would also enable them to slowly create a bankroll so they can earn points.
So if everyone post's their own views on this and if there is enough interest for this maybe Sky will implement it.
Thanks X5-454.

I dont understand why you cant just deposit a fiver and play 30p DYM games? Even people without jobs can afford a fiver. Sky have been generous in their freerolls but they obviously cant please everyone. there is always the play money tables as well.
A 10 or 20 pointer could have a prizepool of 60p split between the top three.
If you have the time and patience (not to mention luck) to build a bankroll from that then fine.
As for learning much about poker from them - I doubt it
Players seem to have the all-in first hand mentality regardless of their holding or they just sit out and sleep through the game hoping to ladder into the payouts ( though what they do with their 2 cent winnings beats me!)
SKY does quite a lot to help players build up some playing cash (community freeroll for one)
Sky poker project was another (ah happy days!!!).
I don't think this idea would work on here though others may disagree
good topic though.
Thanks for your view Bobcat I actually play on Blue Square that was the original site I played on when i started.
I have started a bankroll on there from the SNG 10 freerolls moving up in to the cash sit and go's.
Although i have gone on to lose this a few times now. LOL.
their just needs tobe one decent freeroll anight where the top 6 or top table get paid, just make their money worth winning 6th. £20 5th. £30 4th. £40 3rd. £50 2nd. £70 1st. £100 total £310 , now that aint going to break sky's bank is it.
The points can be used for the big games and small games alike but there should at least be one free freeroll a day like you said above top 6 or 10 get paid.
