    Had a spin on these earlier, just to see what they were like. Can't see anything good about them tbh, just really boring after about 5 minutes.

    agree with this, it was my conclusion from the get go.

    Any serious poker player will avoid these, with the exception of messing about, playing a forum game or whatever, but i can still see people playing them so will be a benefit to sky most probably.

    The only strategy i see is to try and get a decent stack quite quickly, so then you can really pick your spots to swipe everyone's 5bb stack wit the benefit of not risking your's, but nevertheless its still a crab-shoot with hardly any play and therefore IMO not POKER.

    The only thing i find is strange is how random this was, i don't think anyone asked for this lol and of all the improvements that would/could increase the traffic on this site, . . . this was not one of them.

    Probably the best advice ive ever seen,

    "if you have no edge just shove on the guy with Any two cards. take the skill out of the game."


    Meh lets all go play roulette i hear theres a system for that.

    I find this idea a bit depressing and i hope it doesn't take off. Don't see the point except cynical money making exercise.
    For me it kind of goes against the grain of Sky's tv channel which is concentrating on hand analysis and educating players to then be serving this up.

    Yeah I completely agree, there's no skill in late stages of a DYM on the bubble when everyone has shove/fold stacks, or times in a fast structured MTT where everyone has about 10BBs, it's just luck ;)
