A omaha survivor would be very good as most people
like omaha and would also be a good chance for new people to learn
without breaking their bankrolls. Not seen this anywhere else and
that if sky are prepared to advertise this then it may well be successful.
It would no doubt generate a large rake for Sky so perhaps they could provide the winner of the challenge the £33 BH seat but offer mini bounty hunter seats to anyone who managed to reach double figures? I seem to remember similar challenges organised by IrishRover and there weren't that many who reached the magic 10?
It could be easily tracked by Sky and there would probably be someone good enough to create a league table so everyone can see how well/badly they are doing compared to everyone else!
The difficulty about suggestions which require people to play every night is that it would exclude a lot of people who simply havent got the time to or availability to do that.
qualify from micro to main events £12k BH, Primo, & VLV sunday semi
in consecutive tourneys to take down the prize
The more that take part the more places available!
ok my idea proberly stupid but here it goes
how about a week of tournys you carnt buy into
the only way in is by sat
so loads of cheap sats to suit all bank rolls
you could run any tourny on the end of these sats
just away off involving the whole site and allowing all bankrolls to play a level field as no direct buy in
Assign a wide range of tournaments at different tariffs where any combination of Mods take part then award a prize to the player who eliminates the most Mods
I would like to stress that waiting for Machka outside the main doors at Cardiff SPT would not qualify for the prize!
Or would it?
Tikay asked me to post this...
"I would like to suggest a prize to the first poster who posts a grammatically/syntactically correct post, or heaven forbid one us "down with the kids peeps" can understand! Sort it out SKY - In your eye! Know what I'm saying?"
I told TK I'd post it but did warn him that he was wasting his time!
:-O
not all ppl have your roll.. even ppl who do.. might choose not to play in it for only a 33 quid thursday night donk fest seat
as for multi tournys.. did we not just have one of them called the all rounder...
the hu... de we not just have one of them...
it is difficult to find a tourny or tournys or game to suit everyone...
there is one thing it should be..
IT SHOUD BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR ALL BANKROLLS
or a special freeroll tourny every night over a week period, best 3 scores from 7 wins.
suits all bankrolls as free, and gets rid of those poker points.
Keep the ideas coming!
The Omaha ideas aint bad but there's alot of people who just haven't got a clue about it so just won't bother or will just be throwing money away.
Cash is really out of the question as it can't be tracked and MTTs are probably too high variance for alot of people's BRs in terms of having to play TONS of them to try and win, so it basically leaves SnGs of some sort.
When I played on a different site before Sky they had a permanent competition/jackpot where it was a $2.20 SnG with 12 runners and, think it was like $12 for 1st, $7 for 2nd and $3.50 for 3rd, but the jackpot was that if you won 4 in a row you got $2000. I did come 1st 3 times in a row, then came 3rd...was gutted.
Anyway my point is, why don't you spawn more of the 10man SnGs and have a competition where you have to win 3 or 4 in a row. It's perfectly do-able, fairly low variance, good for all bankrolls, you can still be breaking even or making profit while attempting to do it and it would sort out the issue of them running. I used to try to play the 10 man SnGs and you can generally register and wait 20+ mins with no sign of it starting to run. Maybe stick the 10man games at the top of the lobby to raise people's awareness.
I like consecutive cashes in the 8pm tourn though. 4/5 consecutive would be impressive. Also satellites run for these tournies so any BR can satellite in and if they cash use it to buy in direct the next one they play.
run weekly with the final every sunday evening
mtt sat's run every hour monday -sunday, 1 in 5 make final £3.60+36p
1 in 10 £1.80+18p
stt in lobby at all times monday-sunday,1 in 6 make final £3+30p
all winner through to sunday's final
no direct buy-in
How about a bankroll challenge over a specific period.
Eveyone starts with the same starting bankroll.
Certain tables would be set aside for this, similar to the TV tables.
These tables could be cash, DYM and some stt and tournaments.
mini and main separation is just elistist and frankly makes micro/low end players feel a bit pished being treated this way
Keep everyone in the same boat drinking from the same cup and eating the same bread
