Mini UKOPS
I have been watching the repeats on 861 today and saw Tikay asking for input on the upcoming mini-UKOPS. I think its a great idea.
I would go with 1 tournament a night and would prefer the inclusion of at least one PLO and one Hi-Lo event. Keep the whole buy-in below £30 and everyone has a chance to compete if they can cash through the week...
Mon-friday 2.20, sat 5.50 and a big deepstack NLH on the sunday at 11 quid. Keep it cheap, keep it simple, and keep it fun.
Rich and Tikay were also discussing the possibility of adding a TV icon to the DTD tables and showing hands the next night. I think this is a good idea as its bound to attract more players.

Here is my input..........
UKOPS as an annual event, has the potential to make a prestigious name for itself and attract some serious players to sky poker with its continued marketing & TV coverage.
There were plenty of satellites into these events too, so it also suited the lower stakes players and gave them a chance to play in a high roller type event against some of the big boys.
I'm not so keen on a mini UKOPS as a business man personally, as it would feel like we were watering down or re-labelling what could be a great wine, just so we can sell it in bulk to a cheaper supermarket.
If we are going to have a mini UKOPS type of event, it really needs to be re-branded in my opinion so our main UKOPS event does not become somewhat of a gimmick and loses it's attraction.
The WSOP is afterall the WSOP - The UKOPS should be just that, but by all means have some side events.
More hands on ps, more turnover obv etc etc
Bring it on sky and count me in
