Freerolls - Rebuys and Addons - A joke!
Sky,
Quick question, I've just played the £50gtd freeroll (tournament no.4818990) and I'd just like to say I find the rebuy and addon feature a joke.
To play the freeroll you have to buyin with 'poker points' as your site says this is a promotion, however any rebuy or addon is not added onto the £50guaranteed freeroll pot, unless it exceeds the £50 mark?
I feel this is unacceptable, for example, in this tournament there were 106 (rebuys and addons inclusive), but only £3 was added to the pot, not the £53 I felt should of been... Therefore Sky is having its pot paid for by players who rebuy/addon, and as above I thought poker points were a promotion!!!!!!!! If you addon at the break which I did (under the impression the money would be added to the pot), and do not rebuy, hence putting 50p into Skys £50 guaranteed pot, you have to finish at least 10th to gain your money back!!!!!!
Your thoughts on this from you and your team would be gratefully appreciated! This is not to do with the money, as I was playing for a bit of 'fun', however I feel all players are being cheated by not explaining the rebuy/addon is not added to the pot...
Cheers,
Gav

What you are wanting is a £50 ADDED where the site adds £50 to the total buy ins.
Primarily poker points are for the Cash for Points promotion, ie get 500 to claim £5 in real money, any left over go towards Viva Las Vegas entries or freeroll entries.
THE LIBRIAN SAYS; " NO WAY, YOU WONT BRING IT BACK."
im new to poker and i mainly play cash games, because im not very good at tournament play
so to gain experience in tournies i went into the freerolls.ive never seen so much bad play because
players will bet with bad hands knowing that they can rebuy and start again with 3000 chips,so not only do you
have to beat a player once, he reloads and you have to try again.this happened to me,one guy all in i called
and won the hand, only for him to rebuy and all in again,whats the point ??
if you changed the rules so that no rebuys or add ons were alowed then this would encourage good play
or would it hurt sky pokers coffers if the rebuys or add ons were to stop ??
but my point was if you take out the rebuys and add-ons that the standard of play
would be better,and that the idiots that want to go all-in with rubbish get tossed out
at an early stage.you notice that after the break when the rebuys and add-ons are finnished the
standard of play increases and that the morons who go all-in with rubbish have been
illiminated. and would it hurt sky pokers coffers to stop the rebuys and add-ons
I actually think the standard of play in any tournament or SNG lower than £5 buy in is pretty bad anyway and cash below 10NL is pretty poor as well, making informed decisions on how somebody should play a hand only really works for me at TSP Classic/Open level
I don't think it's about Sky's coffers, they overlay Survivor every week by £600 so a few freerolls wouldn't make much difference
Its a freeroll play a 60p dym if your going to addon
well i have played a few or them and I am not bothered by those who rebuy/addon. I don't rebuy or addon, never have, never will, with these but have stilll managed to cash a few times. even managed third once.
teaches you discipline/being tight to start with. Yes you get the "bad beats", but you get those any game/tournie. you just have to manage your chip stack, take your chances when the cards come, until the first break and take it from there.
good luck
