I think Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin would agree with this statement but seeing as SKY is owned by the Murdochs I dont like your chances.
2) Surely if the forum game is big and fun it should be shown on TV, or at least be able to.
3) Answer seems probably yes, there aren't many especially towards the end of a session. Can't believe the second chances were so big a buy in with no turbos near the end of the night. However can't really do much about this and can't massage the schedule without looking at the figures of tournies/runners/attrition rate/bubble point etc.
4) The question is very specific, and doesn't focus on the issue of how a tournie plays out. If you're going to discuss structures of the mtt's then in general it should be about 'where' the play is. And the solution should be based around having an understanding of how to affect that rather than plucking starting stacks etc out of the air like sky like to.
If you start everyone a bit shallower, yes there are people who will go out quicker because of 'one mistake or two, etc' but once the field contracts down a bit the stacks are good and the blinds go up with shallow increments. Huge stacks early just lead to lots of folding then suddenly everyone needs to start shoving and now 'play' is to be able to re-raise someone allin, that's the move other than someone all in then do you call or not. There're no raises and flops (or at least there shouldn't be, but obv on sky you have questionable open then fold from less than 10BB stacks, or the limps from any stacksize etc) later on in the tournament, or at the FT. Given that all the money is payed out on the final table it's surely much better to aim to have some kind of play there rather than during just the first few levels.
The reason I proposed a rotation in the form of MTTs was to be inclusive for people who can only play £1 or £2 games and can't do the £3s, it gives them variety and choice, they might prefer Rebuys for instance and they'd actually be looking forward to the night/nights where the rebuy version of their level was running. It is a little faffy I admit but it's amount inclusion.
TBH I don't mind a rebuy myself. Let's not drift into the reg fee on rebuys debate again, I think it's pretty obvious what everyone would prefer however most sites don't have a dedicated TV channel or forum so you need, in my opinion, to take the rough with the smooth to make a balance choice of site to play on.
While I like the idea of that nightly MTT I don't think we should be proposing GTDs from the off. GTDs will come with the support a game is shown, let's see if there is support for it first and then look at suggesting a GTD.
On 5, People like BHers (with the exception of forum purists of course) and some people have small rolls or only so much disposable income. They were popular before and it's rather a 'no-brainer' for me.
Re: The dreamworld comment. Didn't like it to be quite honest. Full Tilt = Stars. Stars = Full Tilt. Yes there will be effect over the short term with people playing with released money but I honestly don't think it will have a long term huge effect on traffic here on the fact it has been reopened. Stars has been there all along, and yes if players can't play the games they want they may well leave, but that has always been the case regardless if Full Tilt was open or closed. Stars has been there all along and will always represent an alternative choice for the customer, as do many other sites.
