Sky's premium tournament so you'd expect the better players to be there.

I got AA cracked in the semi by 10-7 even after playing it perfectly. But still squeaked through.

I got AA cracked in the main by Q-3. After calling an all-in by shorty. And Mr Q3 calling my called all-in, first with Q3.  Then with bottom pair. £55 buy-in and you're calling two all-ins with Q3os? Then calling a re-shove with bottom pair?! For Christs sakes I had AAs.

But fought my way through it. K-10s eventually found AK and fair enough.

But Iv played Primo about 15times now and still haven't cashed and that's embarassing.

You should be delighted that there's horrible players out there. Why would you want to be playing competent individuals? You make your money off the idiots, not those who know what they're doing.

You got ul, it happens.

As for the not cashing bit, well 15 tournaments is not exactly a big sample size and given the crapshoots that Sky tournaments are it means very little.

The structures are so much better these days.

The 7.15 deepstacks offer 15 min blinds and 5000 chips (start at 10/20). The Primo is 15 min blinds and the other 8pm events are 12 mins.

To call them crapshoots is nonsense imo and rather insulting actually to those at Sky who have worked very hard to improve and enhance the mtt structures and schedule.  

But i agree that 15 mtts without cashing is fairly standard. Its varience, ul bandini, im sure the big wins will come soon.

The length of the clock, the starting stack and all that other stuff is irrelevant. What determines a good tournament is the average BB stack when you go deep into it. I've yet to see a Sky tournament have more than a 15bb average very late on which is why they're crapshoots.

If you've played on some of the other major sites, you'd know that the Sky strucutres are at best, very average.

The problem Gregg is that to make them 'better' didn't take much because of how poor they were before.

The current ones could do with ALOT of work to make them play like an actual tournament and not just be a folding/run good contest. 

15 MTTs without cashing if there are 300 entrants is nothing! Tourny variance is ridic!!!

I accept that there is still room for improvement here at Sky, in terms of antes, and h4h, and also even longer better structures. This, will, i hope come in time as the site grows and grows.

Yes i have played deepstacks on one of the two BIG sites, and i played 7 hours to get a min cash lol!
