The Official New-vember Thread: Week 1 - BANKBUSTER (Thursday - £2.20 Headhunter)
Morning Sky Poker peeps!
So, New-vember got off to a good start last night after Sky Poker coughed up on the first Bankbuster Challenge. For those of you who haven't come across the promotion yet, we are basically making November a month of new ideas, tournament formats and promotions. We want your feedback on which you enjoy and which you weren't too fussed by, and we're also looking to give a bit of value back to you guys in a fun, micro-stakes setting.
We'll be posting about each week's promotions in this thread, and we want your brags in here too, strategy for winning, etc.
Right, so what's on this week?

2. my ohama game is rotten, so i'll donate to the prizepool tonight to help beat the target.
3. why is the tourney not in the yellow banded area in the lobby or will it be moved there as the day goes on?
1. lets get the brag out the way. it was a fun tourney last night. the blinds were so big by the last few players any of us could have won, just glad i hung on. i dont play many tournies and i think thats my first mtt win in a long while. 2. my ohama game is rotten, so i'll donate to the prizepool tonight to help beat the target. 3. why is the tourney not in the yellow banded area in the lobby or will it be moved there as the day goes on?

Nice Idea
Feels like UKOPS all over again, when I was sweating the Guarantees every day. Only in reverse. It may not even make the £400 Guarantee!
53 runners now, so £159 - the Guarantee is £400.
Proper value.
Good luck tonight, only 75 runners so far - needs 134 just to beat the Guarantee, & 267 to get Brucie's BankBuster Bonus.
Haven,t played any PLO touneys for a while on here and certainly none with anywhere near the numbers from earlier (think it was 162 in the end). Funny thing is i almost cancelled out of it as i was playing the 5K freeroll and also stuck in a 50gtd with only 5 players which took alot longer than i thought and had also satelited into the main which meant i was going to sign up up for the mini - To many tourneys, but after bad start in the main i decided to leave the mini and concentrate on the ones i was playing.
Needed a fair bit of luck on the FT against some good regs and had to come back against a large chipleader but enjoyed every minute of it
Looking forward to playing more. Its good that its aimed at microstakes players and so far both winners incl. myself are often found on the micro stakes cash like 2p/4p etc
Thx
Paul
Hi Chris,
I imagine Dave has gone home now, so I cannot give you an official reply, but the BankBuster Page says this.....
"....If the total prizepool generated in the tournament hits target we’ll DOUBLE the payouts for those who cash!...."
And the Tournament Lobby says this.....
"....£1,000 Guaranteed Bank Buster Bounty Hunter. The Bank Buster target tonight is £1,500! If the target is hit then all winning players will be paid double!...."
Meanwhile, at 6.30pm - one hour before kick off (PLUS 30 minutres of Late Reg) this already has 122 runners.
It needs 500 runners to beat the Guarantee, but 750 in total to prompt the BANKBUSTER payout.
At £2.20 to enter, if enough people smell this value, it deffo has a chance of that BANKBUSTER BONUS.
7.05pm - 180 runners
7.30 - 321 runners for this £2.20 Bounty Hunter, it has now started, & has Late Reg for 30 minutes.
Loooks like the BANKBUSTER will not come into play, but it's still great value - there will be OVERLAY unless it hits 500 runners.
7.40pm - 381 runners.
Late Reg is open until around 8pm.
Looking like overlayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Still rising - 7.45pm, 421 runners.
Final total - 492 runners.
I'd blame Dave for updating the title of the wrong post - I spent a long time waiting for the weds thread to be posted before realizing what had happened. (or maybe i'm just slow - could be)
