Simply Put.... Tournaments
There's obviously a gap forming on here from the amount of cash player's vs tournament player's which to be honest wouldn't bother me except for the fact there isn't a great deal of poker tournaments to choose from...
Sit and go's are great keep them as they are but for the real tournaments there must be bigger prizes for smaller buy-ins, e.g £1 in for £1000 prize pool did great the other night so we need more of these, I think £3 for £2000 prize pool would be good also, And maybe £5 for £3000 would also do well(giving the fact you can run sat's for these), Running these each once a week gives many of the new players a good look into tournament play plus alot of people play for fun, this gives them a chance to get a pay day and maybe turn them into a more competitive poker player, Remember not everyone has £22,£55,£220 to just throw around i know i don't.... I know if you run one of these each a week they would be a regular here and even be full up before the due date, if the prize pool is set in stone no matter what you will get caller's, and with re-buy's and add on's im sure skypoker.com will see the financial benefit because the prize pool doesnt increase so you get the profit.... who here agree's ?

For the record, I was the other yes vote.
Thanks for this.
We do try to offer a range or buy in levels, so for example on a Thurs the main events are:
- Mini Bounty Hunter £3 + 30p
- Main Bounty Hunter £33 + £3 (currently £15,000)
- Sky Roller £100 + £10 (currently £5,000)
It is a balancing act because, if we have too many levels of buy in, it spreads the players which risks the prize pools being smaller. However, we are regularly reviewing this and making changes (like the recent very popular £3,000 BH game) and will continue to look for new opportunities.
Thanks
