why so many bounty hunter tourneys?
hi tikay,
been on sky poker for a short time,i dont tend to play here often prefer PKR,and the reason is to many bounty hunter and rebuy tourney's.
i prefer standard buy in tournaments,after a certain time of night all it is,is rebuy or bounty hunter tourney's this is ruining the sky poker experience for me.

maybe i want to play here,show a bit of support for SKY putting in the hard work they are doing,seems to me like sky are putting in the effort and after all its a UK run site,so they want new players,i'm here asking why so many bounty hunters,its a genuine question.

Ive been here for over 2 yrs and bounty hunters have always been popular , virtually every tourny busts the guarentee.
Rebuys were not an instant hit with everyone BUT once again it seems they have now been accepted and well supported.
There are some tournys that you may well like , the doublestacks , rollers (main and mini) and the opens.
Once again soz for my rudeness (im a woman , what did you expect ??)
Gl and i hope you stay and find summin worth playin xxx
thanks for taking the time to reply,i have been playing solid for 2 days now,and been playing on the deep stacks and enjoying them.i have also played a couple of bounties - grrrrrrr i played a while ago but just didnt like the formats so just bust and didnt re-deposit.
just to let you know sky have now 3 times given me a bonus of £10 if i deposited £5,now that in my opinion is somethhing special,it's making me feel like they want me to play here.i like this its customer care to the max.
i like the fact SKY are trying their hardest to make me a sky poker regular,but i just dont like some of the formats,last night i put £45 into my acc and have played most of today,then it gets to 10pm and every single tournament is rebuy and bounties,i just dont feel this is attractive to me personally and thought i would come and ask tikay why this was,i didnt want to sound like a moaning faced cnut,maybe just came out this way
thanks james.
Good morning Mr Hunter.
Sorry you feel there are too many Bounty Hunters, but Sky Poker tries to react to demand, and whether you or I like it or not, Bounty Hunters attract more plyers than "regular" Tourneys - they just do! A, say, £20 BH will get, roughly, 30% more runners than a £20 "regular" Tourney. We can't argue with th numbers, I'm afraid, & it is important to give our players what they want.
Rebuys? There is only one Rebuy "Main Event", & that aside, players have an adequate choice between "regular" freezeouts & BH's.
I hope you stick around & take a look at the schedule, there is something for everyone, but business being what it is, the fayre offered needs to reflect Customer demand.
Take care now, & good luck at the Tables!
I usually get to play poker late evening from 10pm onwards for a few hours most nights so i miss all the ME's etc.. However last night was different i logged on at 7pm and had a spare 3hrs or so. Now my BR isn't huge and i tend to stick to the correct BRM.
So i log on last night, thought i could squeeze in a MTT, to my surprise there wasn't one that i could realistically enter. There was 2 £5.75 BH's Some satellites and a couple of D/S events for the next hour an a half. I can't afford to enter £5 tournies as means i would need £250-£500 BR.
I wonder why throughout the day there is £20gtd and £25gtd £1.10 tournements every hour but in the evening there is just 1 at 22:15.
This tournement always hits gtd, and its valooo for a £1.00 and if u win u can win £20+ ftw if its a rebuy.
Plz sky run more of the £25gtd rebuy in the evenings for us paupers ;-)
I have been here since May, I love the site, (despite the efforts of the RNG to send me mad or elsewhere), and I do not/have not used any other site.
The principal reason I stay is because the forums and general chat is brilliant! OK, so I may be a softie but not so long ago a thread was posted by one of our autistic players asking for help and advice. The answers and following discussion had me in tears, and you know what? the one that opened the flood-gates was from, wait for it, debdobs 67. So Hunterlad, if you are reading this forget the acerbic reply and the "I`m a woman" thing, you just caught her on a bad day. She has had her moments re the RNG etc but a more positive and helpful soul you couldn`t hope to meet. Stick around and you will find scores of reasons to stay almost regardless of the games on offer.
Having said all that I do agree with your and Bobsicool3. I`m a recreational player and I manage my BR. But, I love the MTT and am not a fan of BH or RB and I do find it hard to be almost excluded during the late evening.Never mind, I shall stay whatever, and I wouldn`t be surprised if the "Powers that be" sneak in a slot for us.
Good luck at the tables, (`cept against me of course)!
All noted & agreed, Cubby.

I know another poker site that has clearly been keeping on eye on Sky. They used to have a nightly rebuy as their 'main' tournie.
They then went to 'head' hunters where on a 30 euro BI there was like 5 euro on each head.
Now its the same format as the Sky BHs EVERY night and the numbers have risen.
BUT where is the TSP Classic. We need this back. The sat for the UKOPS main isn't as popular as the first UKOPS supersat because there are no GTD seats and its 24 rather than 11. Get the TSP back on the schedules.
I just think there should be more £1.10 £25gtd rebuys in the evening apart from the only one at 22:15 they run them all throughout the day everyhour somtimes 2x a hour. but then they stop.
