more deep stack's and freezeouts

edited December 2011 in Poker Chat
hi TK and the powers of SKYPOKER,
is there any chance sky would be willing to add more deep stacks or frezeouts at regular intervals?

i would love to see a deep stack £500 gtd tournament with a £2 + buy in and also maybe a £750 gtd with a £5+ buy in,these types of tournies would possibly be well attended if ran at the correct time of night.

thanks
hunterlad.

    It's VERY unlikely they'll get 250 runners in the £2 deepstack (to cover the guarantee) and likewise, it would probably be a struggle to get 150 runners for the £5 one most nights.

    They run deepstacks every night, low stakes buy-ins and they usually only have 90-130 players.

    Yeah there is no way they would hit their targets.

    I think Sky Poker has plenty of DeepStack Freezeouts already, to be honest.

    A £500 Guaranteed with a £2 buy-in would need 250 runners every time to "cover", & that's not achievable, judging by Sky Poker historical data. One of the reasons is that to Final a 5 hour Tourney, or play 5 hours & not cash, or get a min-cash, would not be very popular with the majority, imo. Most players would not consider that cost-effective.

    However, I will send your thread upstairs, so that the Suits can decide for themselves.

    Incidentally, deepstacks are my favourite form of Tourney Poker, but you & I are in a minority.

    You get nearly 200 runners in the deepstacks on Monday nights. 3 of em.

    £1/£2 & £2 quidders....

    Also the mini opens every night...all £3, think 4 of those are freezeouts/doublestacks....(1k gtd)

    Mini Primo aint a deepstack but the clock is slowwwwwwwwwwwwww.

    So Mon, Tues, Weds, Fri & Sun u can get a 180+ runner deepstack/freezeout which starts before 8.30, for less than a fiver.

    More turbos???? :D:D:D

    yes please

    as for 'I think Sky Poker has plenty of DeepStack Freezeouts already, to be honest'

    i disagree...well as far as the 'high' staked mtt's go there no Deepstack Freezeouts on everynight, the only ones are the Double Stack/Roller and they're Main Events, same goes for Rebuys - the friday £11 rebuy is the only 1 on once a week  <-probs my fav MTT

    theres ONLY 1x regular freezeout on everynight and thats the £11 500GTD

    i'd like to see these on EVERY night as....

    £1k £22 Deepstack
    £2k £10 Rebuy
    £2k £10 Deepstack-Rebuy....lol could b good

    some even bigger ones would be good like £30 Rebuy or £40 Deepstack im sure would do well with a modest 2k GTD on each

    bigger GTEs = more players in my experiance. Im sure the sky data can probably confirm this, even if it runs at a loss for a week or two and then starts to increase in numbers as the word spreads.

    Not saying im right of coarse. i dont have all that technical data that sky have.

    Not sure how relevant this is BUT the old £22 buy in nightly deepstack at 7.30pm i think it was , just DID NOT get the support that it used to ' back in the day' and yet it WAS reinstated due to popular demand AND players sayin they would loyally support it again , which the majority didnt.

    Correctamondo. So many players said they wanted it, but they never walked the walk, & it cost a small fortune in overlays.

    Doubt they will make that mistake again. Once is fine, twice is careless, three times & someone gets shot.

    thats a shame, must have been before my time

    a nightly £10-20 rebuy between 9-10pm would be nice tho
