Important changes to the Tourney AND Show - Tonight!
Ok .............what time should we be there then?
Comments
The Blind Levels in tonight's £12,500 Guaranteed Bounty Hunter are now TEN minutes, NOT seven, as previously advertised.
The £10,000 Guarantee has, as you already know, been increased by 25% (this week only) to £12,500.
The Starting stacks will be 3,000.
And it starts at....... EIGHT PM!
There's more, too.....
Tonight's Live Show on Channel 865 will start at EIGHT PM, & not Nine pm as previously.
All Live Shows will henceforth begin at 8pm.
So, more Show, more time, & more money tonight.
Would you like me to get some birdseed and send it down for the show?, cos methinks there will be a lot of chirping going on
Oh yeh, a little edit may be in order tikay
For this week, at the very least, ( & a few more weeks I think) tonight's, Saturday's, & Sundays will be show the Tourneys at least in part. Tonight will be a "normal" Show, except 4 hours instead of 3, & will follow tonight's £12,500 BH, plus some other suff which I'll Post about on the Show Thread later.
This Saturday & Sunday, the Show will be as previous, except 4 hours.
I'm not sure when the new Scheduling comes into effect, but when it does, there will be some quite different stuff. It will include a Cash-Only night, & a brand new Show which is being worked on as we speak.
There is at least one new Show every day at present, either Live or Recorded, afaik. We recorded 3 or 4 "Pre-Records" yesterday, & these will roll-out on 865 during next week. This will be ongoing, every week.
Repeats? Yeah, get your drift - but TV Content is horrendously expensive to Produce, so it's a case of balancing cost-effectiveness, value, & demand.
Do you really need to know?
I need to know...... has wardrobe been made aware the community wants ur Bugandy Jacket back?
The Wardrobe Mistress decides what we wear, as it needs to blend with what the Presenter wears, & not "key" with the set.
But I have made the Producer aware of the "Burgundy Thread", & he has no objections. So, it's up to the Wardrobe Mistress now.
There may be some other complications too, as we have a new Presenter & Analyst on tonight. All very hush-hush, say no more.
BURGANDY......BURGANDY.......BURGANDY
hmmmmmmm, very mysterious, why do I have a very funny feeling I sense what is going on, probs wide of the mark, but we will see
My thoughts too
I do need to know, perhaps the burgundy jacket knows
col
the constant repeats are coma-inducing and a mare,why not at least start showing repeats from the opening days of sky poker(i assume they keep the tapes), at least they would feel fresh and would also highlight the advancement in play since then,and kara would be back on the screen too
I reckon all the old shows should be available in downloadable format on the website.
I would definitely pay for a service like this that had all the old shows on.
So Tikay its a 4 hour show from 9pm? Am I right?
Great number of runners for tonight's Bounty Hunter and an interesting idea with regards to running some of the earlier shows. I'll look into this although I suspect I'd get hit with a metal ruler if any changes to this month's schedule was proposed. Might be a nice twist over Christmas though.
I have recurring nightmares about the Burgundy jacket, it's not making a comeback is it? Personally I'd prefer to see tikay in the illustrated waistcoat...oops, probably shouldn't have mentioned that
Cheers,
Des.
Wow, how "nice" did that Tourney play out?
The Average Stack in the Final was appprox 33 x Big Blinds! Unbelievable, & I know we are all different, but with structures lke that, I will now make such Events my first choice to play each night. Awesome.
Sadly for the TV Viewers, it over-ran the 4 hours, & as we were on the Sky Sports simulcast, we were obliged to come off air at Midnight, with three Players still remaining. Technically, there was no choice, much as we'd all loved to see the end.
So I imagine next Thursday's equivelant will have to be slightly faster, or less Chips, to ensure it completes in the 4 hour slot.
But for the rest of the week - & I'd be interested in your views - I'd rather we, the Players, had more playable Structures, such as last night.
Ultimately, it's about the Cardroom, & the Players.
An Average Stack of over 30 x Big Blinds in a Final - for me, that's Poker Perfection.
Until now, I preferred the Deepies, but with structures like last night, the Main Event, if structured similar to last night, will be my first priority, especially as it has such serious money on offer - over £13,000 last night!
Thoughts anyone?
Oh, & I planned to play Live, at Luton tonight, but Sky Poker's 8pm Biggie is a Double Stack (4,000 chips), with 10 minute blind increments. Count me in!
