    this was a fantastic structure imo it gave players who would usualy not get to play this sort of tourney a bit of deepy experiance i would love to see a repeat In Response to Re: The £220 Biggie is THIS Thursday. Bootiful. :

    Are you joking? 

    It doesn't mean 'more play', it just means more folding - for two hours longer.

    I believe I am scheduled to play it in March.

    Good luck tonight.

    srsly who decided on this structure?? I would rather pay double the buyin than go through this again

    ....and for your next job, Nick, I'd like you to try running an Online Poker room!

    Here's the thing. You disliked it, another Poster loved it.

    A few weeks ago, a Satellite was run with a different structure to the Event proper. And it kicked off on the Forum, "it should be the same, Sky Poker don't have a clue what they are doing" sorta thing.

    Last night - well, only 2 Posts commented, but 1 in favour, 1 against!

    Pleasing all of the people all of the time is a big ask........

    It's done on a case-by-case basis, I think. I'll mention your concern to the Suity Peeps, but I'll also mention the other guys positive comments.

    Good luck if you play the Biggie - though it's the identical structure, which you disapproved of last night, I think!

    Truth is, we all like different things.

    Ho-hum.

    I love the structure if people are actually playing poker and going for the win! As there is no incentive to get any higher than 1 in 5 in a satellite it just ends up being the most boring thing alive. It's like having a tournament full of Tikay's... 

    What happens is you get 'short stacks' with 20bb's folding every hand, big stacks with 40bb's....folding basically every hand.

    I qualified from one of the £2 jobbies so effectively I'm 'freerolling' tonight, first time in this comp too.

    would someone be kind enough to put a QTR final to todays semi final in the lobby? might interest more people and help fill the semi a little.

    With 3 hours to go, we now have a very healthy 30 runners Regged already. Few big hitters in there now, but nobody to be scared of. This'll be a great Tourney, I think.

    Just done the Pre-Record (shown 8pm Friday) of last Saturday's Open Final, which Penguin7 won. Paul's analysis was incisive, so looking forward immensely to the Show.

    1 hour to go, & 42 now regge'd, could be the biggest field ever for this beaut, might even hit the cap.

    Good luck, all who sail in her.
