Poker or chance with marginal hands

edited October 2009 in Poker Chat
Hiya all can i just clarify that on a personal level i think our 10 seater torns on here are sadly gonna be outed..

Sky have been fantastic putting these on and most poker players prefer these rather than 6 handed tables where your A 7  becomes a big hand, so only to have 6 a week i think spells the end for it,
Having played live loads of times ive only ever been on a 6 handed table when there is 6 left in the torn so find it bizzare that players on here prefer that format , maybe sky could up sng to 36 runners 6 tables of 6 then then there would be more space for 10 seaters? just an opinion sky and may i say once again ty for putting on these 10 seaters i must be in the minority on here who love them......Keep the deepstacks sky they are what poker is about!

    I definitely prefer 10 seaters for the deepies but also appreciate that Bernie & the gang are trying to keep everyone happy & that takes some doing!

    6 handed poker has ALWAYS been the preferred choice since online poker began, especially in the cash game field.

    Rather than moan about it, how about you adjust your game to the more aggressive nature of the 6 handed format.  It seems to me that most people who moan about the format/structure always come out with the phrase 'proper poker', and rather than look at their game objectively they will blame their failiures to cash on the structure.

    Remember Sky is a fairly small site, with mainly UK players.  Most of these players will have never played poker before, and have only experienced the Sky 6max fast blind structure way of playing.  They like this format, so Sky will meet their needs. 

    There are plenty of sites with far greater player pools where 10 seats run all the time, I suggest you take advantage of them in the mean time.

    And A7 is a big hand on a 10 seat table, depending on stacks/position.

    Prefer 10 seaters all day long.

    Deepstacks just feel better ten handed, mainly because it feels like a more lazy format which deepstacks are tbh. With 6 seaters you have to be really alert as you play a lot more hands.

    I thought you were having a break for a while Kev. Or you just cant keep away?

    Maybe we should limit the number of hands played per hour as well, because it would be more like live poker if we only got half as many hands an hour.  Maybe have an animated drink spill on the table once an hour, and waft the aroma of  b.o. and stale *art from the bu m they just seated next to you.....

    I actually really like the 6 handed tables, its what I enjoy most about sky poker.  It's a different style of game to 10 seaters sure, but it's what I regard as almost the USP of Sky Poker.  On the flip playing 10 handed is also great at times, so a choice of both is very welcome indeed.  I've seen on some other sites its easy enough to jump into a game of either seating arrangement as and when you fancy, so don't see why that can't be the case here.  As long as n adequate amount of table are kept at 6 I'll be happy.

    P.s I play home games 6 seated every week, but I can't even imagin playing six max in a casino, it would just seem weird.

    i think the ten seaters are great tournies and really cant see why sky would get rid of them---they have a great following--the 3.30 orfe usually gets over 90 runners every time---nearly everyone that goes out says in the chat box that it was great fun--one fella said tonight that it was a great evenings poker for the price of a pint---imo these tournies will grow, and once people get used to the different strategy a lot more people will prefer ten seaters to six, one reason i think this is because bingo players and mad bluffers hardly ever last very long in this structure and when a player gets knocked out it is much more often by a better hand than is the case in six seaters, where "brawn over brain", (as tikay puts it) has a much better chance of paying off.

    I must personally say i prefer the 6 seater tables. Although i think that alot of the players on the site play to aggressive. When i say that i refer to a previous comment by razorkev as an example. 

    However i do like the odd 10 seater, however against alot of people i prefer 6 seater tournaments. I just hate it when into the latter stages you have a table of 3 and a table of 4 where as here i see a 10 seater benifitial.

    However i suggest a new suggestion to counter the 6 or 10 problem. How about 8 seater tables. I play in a live tournament in a couple of local pubs and we play 8 seaters in that, and it sort of counter acts the choice problem

    How about 26 seater?  Then only the best hand PF can win....

    my opinion is that I prefer 6 seater tables then 10 seater. This is one of the many reasons I prefer sky to other online poker rooms.
