Perhaps there should be extra low level satellites so that it opens the game up for every one. Could be very exciting.
And should definitely be televised , this will bring in the numbers.
as tikay has said that more changes are coming and i do hope that the smaller bankrolled players will benefit!
i agree with lozgo im new to the site i was just about managein to find the cash for the tourneys but now it seem,s as tho they are going to get even more exspencive .
did david camron take over sky . ps bigger bye ins for the same small sit down stacks
For all the smaller BR players, I can understand your concerns/upset that the main event is increasing making it harder to play, but if you think of Sky as a whole, there are ALOT of small BR players on here, therefor there must be alot out there for you. You wont find many sites that promote these small buyin deepstacks like sky do. We pay 20 - 30p in rake for about 4 hours of play, Sky would much rather you playing cash/bigger mtt's to generate more rake, but they promote these because its what you want, loads of poker for not alot of money.
All the other big sites will have their main events as 3 figure buy ins, so saying Sky are only lookin after "Big bankroll players" when the buyin is only £22 is a bit puzzling.
The TSP players will be playing Live MTTs to generate more interest in the site from other players. These MTTs will be around the 1k mark to buyin, there is no point them advertising the site to this type of player if the main event on sky is £11. I think sky have got this spot on. Yes you are having to pay more to play, but the fields will be a bit smaller and the blinds have increased which makes this a much better tournament and I think you will see a lot of regular faces final tabling the 8pm's.
I say 1 every 2 n half hours with a decent gtd.
And what is the 50 gtd with £11 entry all about????
The jump in BIs is a lot for most BRs to take so makes sense really to give more people the cheaper option at an earlier opportunity.
I gather from Lord Adam that the plan is to run Satellites during each Evening, in the "busy period", to the next night's Main Events. So, say, 8.30pm or 9.30pm, that sort of time, for the NEXT NIGHT's event.
Previously, Satellites have not been well-supported, despite many requests for them, so I imagine this will run as a trial for a few weeks, & if they are being supported, all well & good, they'll continue, but if they are not filling, then they'll be discontinued.
Can't say fairer than that, imo.
It's a matter of fact that, hitherto, 90% of Satellites have not run, due to insufficient Entries, which is what I meant by the term "lack of support".
Hopefully, these will all run, as they will not be spread over 24 hours, just 1 a day.
