    lets put this to the vote  i think the offordables should be on all week exept monday night [your name deepie] thirsdaynight [tikaysleepstack] the rest of the week offordables at either 330 or 550 the 11 quid ones are not bringing in the numbers the other ones are

    do you play  in there hogg 321 i do and the only ones which attract decent fields are the offordables and the forum or monday night name your deestack the 10+1buy ins are lucky to get 20 entries

    I agree paparon, the only way the £10 deepie would improve in numbers is if it had a guaranteed prize pool. Looking at the lobby all other tournaments £10+ are guaranteed, don't see why this one isn't.

    i tried this also lisa i suggested a gtd pool for the deestacks but it never got the support so i decided to give this one a try a lot of the people who vote though dont play the deepies we play them every night if possible its the low entries to the 10+1  10 seaters which spoil it if the biggerbankrolls can have a 20+2 gtd every night why cant we get a gtd or a lower buy in for the 10 seaters at 7pm.ps leave the name yourself one alone

    Unless we can get a guarantee on the £10 games, which with the numbers we are getting at the moment I doubt we will, I think that having £3 & £5 games at 7.00 are a good idea.  I would like to see some £10 games but we just aren't getting the support for them, there were only 24 runners tonight.

    Your right  "paperon" , it seems the 'powers that be' and the TV people are seemingly only interested in campaigning for the BIG buy-ins with very little interest  in guaranteeing smaller stake games..
    I tried to put a similar point over about the way they are trying to promote TWO big games on Sundays .. 
     Alas I feel the site are becoming obsessed with BIG is better,  and the rest can 'Eat Cake' good luck in you thread  and the 'poll' ...
    These games should get a good guarantee in my opinion but I think you'll find the visionaries who advise  aren't looking to put this game on a "guarantee agenda", they don't realise this sort of tournament is where most dedicated players who want to develop their game can learn at an affordable buy-in,   in the current recession.

    seriously guys, not all, in fact not many players want to pay a tenner plus for a game of poker, unless its a 'big' tourny, the vast majority only pay less than a fiver. To get the numbers up, sats have to be the order of the day. Its a fact of life, most players here are fun players not pros and a tenner is too much to pay on a regular basis - only occasionally. Dont forget this site is mainly british so you need to really push for a lot of players to enter, the number of higher stake players are simply not here.

    I ain't played on here in quite a while, will be back after christmas, probably sooner, but I am currently on another site (which i wont name) but I feel this site is a good one but the offordable ones especially £3.30 are very enjoyable. When I do come back would love to be able to play in 10 seated cheap deepstacks :) hope everyones well, ozzie, paparon, pod and the rest.

    to all who vote in these think the numbers for the 10+1 deepies are virtually non existant the only ones that bring in decent entries are the lower buy in tournaments,sky is one of the few sites that listen to the input from its customers,there is enough bigger buy in tournaments with guaranted prize pool,this is for all of us with a lower bank roll who prefer to play these tournaments,its usually the same faces every night even when the buy ins are more,surely even those who play in the 10+1 notice the numbers are low compared to the other deep stacks.Thanks ....get voting.paparon.
  • edited November 2009
    I would play the 3.30 deepies all day every day, and for two days most days, and for three days on sundays, so you get my vote innit--gl mate
  • edited November 2009
    I voted yes and hope it gets the green light...gl with it paparon
  • edited November 2009
    u  got  my  vote  paparon  thing  is  i  can  only  play  in the  week  ones  evey  other week  cause  i   week  nights
  • edited November 2009
    I voted yes to more Orfordables.
    I play in them when I can. It is at the top limit of my BR but for 3 to 4 hours of Poker, it is worth it.

    thats the point loonytoons im trying top get the bigger buy ins which attract virtally no runners put on the back burner so that more affordable ones are in thier place and  we get more entries
  • edited November 2009
    This is a great idea Paparon........some peoples bankroll cant afford the £10 buy ins.


    So if you dont usually play in these orfordables people " YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR MISSING"

    1. Great value for money

    2. Great banter in the chat box

    3. Pick your poker wits against top players
  • edited November 2009
    i agree with everything u say paparon, us ayrshire punters dont want to be paying the tenner everyday lol
    the affordable deepies have enough players and the banter in them is very good, all for £3.30.
    We need more of them

    I agree strongly with this thread.

    Did you see the posts on here yesterday pleading for people to sign up for the more expensive ones and that was only for a 10 pound satelite.

    Thanx swanns, im gd ta, come back, its been 2 long.

    I think these affordables are the way 2 go, These easily dominate in the amount of players that take part and maybe its best to change em all to the affordables. Gl every 1 hope its a happy ending 4 u all
  • edited November 2009

  • edited November 2009
