Poker Points Happy Hour??
I was thinking that perhaps during the day (between 1-3pm?) a double points period could be introduced to increase traffic during the early afternoon? Would also help low stakes players and beginners see some benefit from regularly playing as points accumulation is very diffuclt at 4NL etc. Obviously I'm basing this on FTP's Happy Hour and so I understand this may not be possible for a site not of such size.

However i think this would be an idea to get sky poker a little busier a differnt times. I used to play alot at night and unless on a cash table struggled to get a game, also the lunchtime thing i used to play the odd tournament at and there wasnt usually more than 10 within.
I remember a site that used to do this a while back. They might still do, I`m not sure
Also the idea of the person starting a table getting double points is a good idea.
I prefer late night early morning for double points, as 1-3 is still a relatively peak time compared to 12am onwards.
HOLD ON... WHAT ABOUT ALL OF US WHO HAVE BEEN WITH SKY SINCE DAY 1 AND HAVE BOUGHT POKER POINTS UP LOADS OF TIMES AND HOW TO SPEND THEM.... AND STILL HAVE NO REAL ANSWER...SURELY THEY MUST SORT THAT OUT FIRST BEFORE EVEN SUGGESTING DOING THIS?
The problem is skypokers 'cash for points' system in the first place.
First of all because as a rakeback deal, it falls far behind what other sites offer, and secondly. because there are hundreds of us with thousands upon thousands of points going spare.
Sky first of all need to improve the deal or will never attract a decent amount of players, and then either create a 'skypoker shop' for people to spend their points, or set up sit n go's/mtt's with a player point buy in where the prize in tournament entry. Lets face it, on the value of them there could be a 10 player sit n go with a 500 pp entry where the winner goes into primo (roughly about the right price i think) but will sky do it, no, because as it stands our points are worthless, unless you enjoy £100 freerolls with 1000 players!
and i find it is improving in its freerolls and point system in a ongoing bases ,
but as the numbers improve i am sure the freerolls will,
it seems skypoker is been unfairly compared to a lot of the bigger pokers sites ,
all of these sites have 100k players and more ,
sky in its peak have only 10k .
but i do find sky have a excellent listening ear .
also been a live tv show ,
it has big overheads ,
just look at richard orford ,
d amn was doing well up till that last comment ,
ah well said it now lol
