Your Tournaments - Discussion Thread

Sky_DaveSky_Dave
edited November 2012 in Poker Chat
Hi all,

There has obviously been quite a lot of discussion recently around the types of tournaments Sky Poker offers, as well as the buy-ins. It got me thinking and I've pitched an idea to the people up top and they've given this a green light. So, here are the details.

Your Tournaments

This thread is set up to have a discussion amongst yourselves over which tournaments you want to see on Sky Poker. Your time slot is the business' peak times, so between 8-10pm, and you can name the buy-in with a minimum of £1.10. You need to nominate one tournament to be set up for each night of the week.

The discussion will obviously see a lot of opposing views, so we've decided to nominate Chris (scouse_red) to chair the discussion. We've also asked that he sets a deadline on the discussion and then he will post the final schedule agreed.

The buy-ins can change day-to-day, as can the format and start times. You guys decide.

(Edit: the one thing you guys can't decide is the amount of any guarantee - so don't go asking them to put a £1m GTD on for £1.10! Thanks! :))

    i like the 9.45pm tourney £2.20   500 gtd 5min blinds more tourneys like that would be great  

    how about a £1.10 version with a 3 min blind level with a £500 gtd

    fine as it is imo!!

    plenty of bigger games if you want them.. and the smaller br has options too in the mini!! the low buying deepstacks are good value.

    maybe a low buying deepstack starting about 8/9pm with a guarantee to generate a tidy field?

    i personally cannot play low buyin games, id rather keep my money to satalite into bigger games.

    how about double your money satalites?? ie a £16.50 mtt where half the field qualify to the £33bh for example?? (im not good enough for 1 in 5) :)

    ok then the choice is yours basically, you have your say, decide which tournament you'd like and between us all we can get an additional tourney added to the Schedule each night..........

    so as Dave says in the OP... THE CHOICE IS YOURS, and the more views expressed the better :)

    Id like to see a £33 tournament slow structured with a 5k starting stack.  I think this would attract alot of runners given the structure.

    does anybodys opinion really matter??? the only new mtts that sky bring in are bounty hunters anyway. i think sky have forgotten that freeze outs exist, the only decent freeze out is the main event, the rest are just low stakes games!!!

    That is why this thread was started, as the opinions do matter why not make a suggestion, as that's what it's for

    Personally i'd like to see a few more £1.10 to £3.30 NLH freezeout games with standard 10 minute blinds.  Currently most, if not all, for low level players are either bounty hunters or rebuys between the hours of 8.00 & 10.00.  If these were available on nights that I play on the site, i'd certainly support them.

    whats the point in me making suggestions, sky players seem to love the bounty hunters, ( god knows why) so thats what sky will give.

    Actually think the turnbo bounty hunters would be really popular - just look at the £33 super fast sky sports BH )

    Yep, the biggest, most popular main event of the week.

    That they decided to mess about with and slow down 2 weeks ago, presumably coz it was performing too well.

    wp, gg, all that ;)

    Re my earlier post think 3 get paid only tournaments work if 100 ruunners at 3.30 or 5.50 would give real buzz to final table plus hard luck or happy days stories to lower bankrolled players.

    How about some sort of mix game? 1st hand NLHE, 2nd PLO, 3rd PLO8 and then back to NLHE (just like HORSE)
    It could run on the show days and some omaha hands could be shown on the show. They could also be different formats. 

    For example:

    Sunday
    B/H - 3000 chips - 10mins blinds.

    Tuesday
    Turbo rebuy - 2000 chips - 7mins blinds - unlimited rebuys when 0 chips.

    Thursday
    Deep stack - 5000 chips - 12 or 15mins blinds.

    Not sure on buy-ins but maybe have a higher (£33+) and lower buy (£3.30) but then i don't want it to compete with the main and minis.

    Also not sure on start times but might be good to have the lower start anywhere between 19:30 - 20:30 and the higher between 21:00 - 22:00.

    What do you all think

    I think the thing that Sky's lobby misses the most is just the basic freezeout tournament! There seem to be loads of BH's, satelites, timed tourneys, omaha etc etc.. but very free standard NLHE Freezeout. So my vote would be for...

    8.30 - £10+£1 freezeout.

     2000 chips,

     10 minute blinds, with small blind increases at the start. I.E BB would go 20, 30, 50, 60, 80, 100

     (If I was able to choose the GTD then somewhere in the region of 1k)
