wheres the 8.15 deepstack gone

IRISHROVER

sky has been informing us of changes  for the last 2 weeks on tournaments .

but never mentioned it would result in the 8.15 deepstack been withdrawn .

i find this to be very unfair to the regular players in this game .

yet no other games were withdrawn, just this 1 .

it would have been so easy to have made us aware .

so we could have had our speak .

the numbers are less in the 7.30 deepstack but presenters play this alot ,

is this the reason we got the chop.

I was going to enter this as well, the 7:30 is too expensive and the 9:15 too late for me 2nite, however i reckon they have just made a mistake - one of those monday hangover things. Lets see if its on tommorow night before we let the brown stuff hit the fan eh???

i've seen "this" posted many times on the forum in response to posts and never know what it stands for or means exactly. can anyone clarify this for me?

Maybe its a simple mistake, because the new 500 quaranteed was at 8.15 as well. Hopefully just got left off and were all  back to normal 2 mora.

Just to clarify 'this - adj,pronoun used to refer to a thing or person nearby, just mentioned, or about to be mentioned. adj used to refer to the present time eg this morning' I got this information from the collins English Dictionary, i hope this helps.

Hi guys and gals.

Due to popular demand the £5 deepie will be returning tonight. It'll be the same format as all the other £5 deepstacks on the site.

Thanks,
Steve

Thank you but a question if I may?

Why do these tournaments have either go, be changed from 6 man to ten man or whatever only to be changed back AFTER comments on the forum.  Why can't the question be asked first to gauge opinion then make the change if there is support? 

While I fully support Sky trying to attract new customers to the site and make the money that it needs as a business, I do think that in line with many businesses today the company is in danger of forgetting its core and current customers. 

So rather than change or delete tournaments that are already within the portfolio, can't you just add additional different tournaments giving everyone a choice - stay the same or try the new?

Hi TVSpice

Thanks for your comments. A lot of the changes we make are on the back of comments on this forum, coupled with comments we receive from customers via other channels such as customer care and customer surveys. Sometimes, in fact most of the time, these changes don't please everyone and that's when we revert to the way things were.

I hope that answers your question.

Thanks,
Steve

This has been a great bone of contention lately, however my opinion is that sky have created a little niche in the market by primarily using the short table format. I believe that this does set it apart from other sites Whome all seem to be clones of each other. I also believe that the problem originally was they changed every deep stack to 10 seaters, when maybe the £22 one could have been changed only, this would have still given sky its uniqueness

IRISHROVER

look tk we know you like 10 seater deepstacks, god knows you have pushed it enough on the forum  .

but how many times do we at the 8.15  6 seater deepstacks have to say it .

lets have both.

your sending off the info from your thread again  to your m8 bernie [ the guy that decides ]  , last time you did this all the six seater deepstacks were changed in to 10 seaters.

but we dont have that luxury.


you and the  other presenters never play the 5 pound deepstack six seater anymore and it was your idea in the first place .

for the second time we had to protest to get our 6 seater deepstack back .

yet the numbers are less in the 6 seater 22 pound deepstack that you play  at 7.30.

i know you are far more popular then any of us on the 8.15 deepstack ,

and i will probaly get a load of your m8s giving me a earful over this post ,

but if this is what it takes so be it .

now the numbers are down again tonight in our deepstack because players think it has been withdrawn again.

send this thread to bernie please .

note above we dont have that luxury
