    So now there are £15 freezeouts at two Leeds casinos, instead of there being an alternative slightly higher buy in tournement for 30 or 40 Sky players who would be interested.  Seems strange to me.

    the wife and I are coming up the night before (Friday) and were looking forward to the £15 freeze out but dismayed when we read that this was to increase to £50!!
     Glad now that their running the £15 tourny £50 for both of us to play is a bit steep on top of two days away and the hotel.
     
    If they have canceled the £50 game why not increase the £15 to say £20 or £25 tops? cheap enough for us casual players but also big enough for the more serious players

    + 1 jononzie... 

    Havnt played much live poker myself so was looking forward to the £15 freezeout on the Friday but when i seen it went up to £50 it did put me off a bit TBH. 

    I think a 20-25 pound tournament would have been a reasonable price but then again i can see where the casino is coming from and y they would want to stick with thier original £15 freezeout!

    All in all im looking forward to a great weekend! :)

    I have asked the casino to put on a £15 and £50, to suit both viewpoints here, seeing as they have changed their mind about a £50 alone. Both comps would be capped due to capacity

    I will let you know when they respond

    that seems to be the best idea, In future as you (sky) know the times venue and capacity could you not organise with the casino regarding extra games for the sky poker fraternity?  so we all have an idea of what is available and how much to bring long before we all descend on mass to find out at the last moment the casino has increased the price ot the   game normaly played and priced out a lot of players, I think they call it organisation! (tongue in cheek)

    be abit rude to play at a different casino after all the work done to organise the SPT events and sorting the venues. Im sure Rich has gone out of his way to set up a game on the friday and be bad if everyone just went off elsewhere. if you dont play or get knocked out then we can get drunk innit. if anyone sees me playing roulette, please god stop me :) doesnt sound like a degen at all.

    The thread here mentions a £40 game at the Grosvenor on Friday si I am now more confused than even.  Seems like the majority are heading there Friday so I think I will just join the crowd and see what games they are actually running on the night.

    Have put this on their facebook page, will wait for a response

    There is a lot of confusion regarding the Friday night tournament on the Sky Poker forum, my understanding is that it is the normal £15 freezeout with a request to also run a £50 freezeout for the higher bankroll Sky players, can you confirm if this is the case?

    Response from SPT is that the £15 freezeout is the tournament and the £50 freezeout is dependant on them obtaining enough dealers.
