Sky Poker Forums is upgrading its look! Stay tuned for the big reveal!
£500 deepstack has now turned into £350 for same £5.50 entry fee.
Hi,
Wondering why Sky have done this? You have been advertising the deepstacks quite regularly on the TV show but this seems to be a negative move. Especially when the regular GTD tourneys seem to have kept there Guaranteed/entry fee ratios.
Any reason for this 30% drop while holding the entry fee at it's original level?
Would be interesting to hear from someone from Sky over the rationale behind this.
Cheers
Dave

If the guarantee remained at £500, we would lose money because not enough players play the tournament to surpass it. By bringing it down to £350, we eliminate the possibilty of losing money.
They'll probably qualify that by saying the prize pool is usually above £350 anyway, so the players don't lose out any money, Sky just save money. The same goes for bringing the Primo down from £25k to £15k.

It was all typed out late last night, but again because it took so long to write (had other distractions slowing me down) I got logged out due to inactivity and it didn't post. I will try and skive off work for an hour after lunch and try and put it up then.
