    how about a freeroll with a buy-in of say 1000pts but only to players that i have earned these points. i.e. not including the points you get when you sign up to sky poker

    might have some slightly more interesting play instead of just all-ins every hand in the standard £100 freeroll with a buy-in of 25 pts!

    What about a tweak for the forum? Is it possible to split the poker strategy section into Hold 'Em & Omaha sections to save players from trawling through the posts to find the information they're looking for?

    Ok my idea ... Firstly the name ... ERM ... got it " TABLE BOUNTY HUNTER"  this will work with either 36 or 360 people (comp has to be full (I think )) ok.  Say you have 36 people , each payed £2 lets say . prize pool £72 ( got me so far ) Right now divide the people into SIX tables of SIX. Each table now gets a bounty of £12 ... Game starts , now every table has to play down to 1 player and he or she will recieve that tables bounty of £12. ... So now £4 goes in their pocket and £8 goes onto their head for the final table ... Then on , Bounty Hunter rules apply ... not worked out maths but this may work with 72 108 144 people etc . Just an idea would be great to watch , if you knocked out your table quickly you could watch the other tables so you would not get bored cos you will wanna know who is gonna be on your final table . If your the last table could you imagine the chat . and the banter . From obscurism

    cant see to find if this is still running ? anyway i was watching the celebrity big brother thing channel 4 have on at the moment an it gave me an idea for playing poker
    10 player's who have qualified online are locked in a house for 10 weeks each nite they play  a freezeout trny for point's at the end of the week the bottom 3 are put up for eviction an the 1 with the most vote goes out
    at the end of each week a poker personality could be brought in for practice and advice to the house mates it doesnt have to run for 10 weeks could be cut shorter maybe played every month different games played the possabilieties are huge anyway thats my great idea all the best 4 2010

    what about a tournament say limited to 50/100 players paying entry 50p,£1,£2 etc etc on a knock out 1-1 basis until you reach the final 2 then decide what way you pay out.? or you could go winner takes all.

    one suggestion i would make is that you allow time to reload on cash games before the start of the next hand (only when you have funds deposited with the cashier). There is nothing more frustrating than someone making a poor call and then hitting the one card available on the river and not being able to reload before the next hand starts. Then to rub salt in the wound you either have to post the blinds you missed or wait untill the big blinds come round to you. The other suggestion i would make is that when players are not at the table at the start of MTT's andSTT's and the big blind has passed them twice (we all have connection problems) they should be forced to post the big blind on every hand after that. we all know the tactic of letting the other players knock each other out with very little loss of your own chips, especially in sit and go tournaments. The above will probably fall on deaf ears but what the heck, i am a Spurs supporter so that proves i am an eternal optimist. In anticipation. ST4R

    Could you put in some Ha tournaments, this is where you play a round (Blinds) of Hold'em and a round of Omaha as this just adds bit of a twist to the site. Also possibly could you add some shoot outs for example a 90 player tournament with 9 players on each table and then winner of each table advances to the final table.

    thanks

    a 2 stage tournament were you buyin so much and only the winner goes through then theres another table after that were the winners of the first table go heads up for all the cash ?

    so say you buyin 2 pound winner goes through and you can have it like top 2 or 3 take a split of the cash from all other 6 previous rounds which would be 72 pound shared between top 2 or 3?

    anyone like this idea?

    could you put a chat window on the home page like they do on the bingo sites??

    it would be good to chat to people without highjacking other peoples threads.

    Add chat room admins to your site. This would stop all them people that only seem to come on here for slanging matches instead of actualy playing poker.

    Plus it is a great way for sky to advertise their latest promo's and rewards.
    Sky could also include chat room competitions.

    I've got 2 ideas, the first is where you have a table with 3 teams made up of 2 people, which could be coloured. Each team has to try and win the tornament, but if one member gets knocked out they have to hope their team mate wins the tornament to get their share of the whole pot, it could be called Team Up, Colours or Second Chance Saloon, it could also help with nice chat rather than abuse amongst players.
    The second idea is a game called Beat The Leader, where all players sit at a table show all their cards and the winner becomes the leader, say the winner has 3000 chips and the rest have 500 chips, if the others beat the leader and win they win the pot, but if the leader wins and you come second you then share the pot.

    I think its about time we have a horse tourny, changing the game every 10 mins and the blinds every 5 mins, there are so many games to choose from, nl holdem, omaha, omaha hi/lo, 7 card stud, 7 card hi/ lo, i could go on and on but you get the idea :)

    In Response to Re: Suggestions Competition!!!! - 'YOU SAY- WE PAY' : a ten seater £10 sng would raise a £100 prize fund not 1k, £20 = 200 not 2k etc etc
    Posted by daz231023
    I get this idea, I think he means you play a £10 qualy with 1 place at studio table available for every 10 players, thats where the big money comes from

    Every month loads of players on the smaller stakes table never quite reach the 500 points required to earn a cash bonus - Why not extent it two months so everyone can get some sort of bonus instead of losing their points every month. 

    If reluctant to do this - could some sort tourney be organised to use your points on sit and go at say 1 - 2 - 5 pounds for 6 - 10 player tables so everyone gets a fair deal - I have been playing this site for quite a few months like many others and never quite reach 500 points.
