Positives for removing ten seater:
- When a 10 seater gets started it dramatically reduces how many 6 seater tables. eg at 100nl there may be 5 regs playing. For a table to get going there has to be a recreational player. So lets say there are 10 recreational players knocking about. So thats 10 6 max tables running or 5 6 max tables and 1 ten handed. There is not unlimited liquidity and sky is a small site. I am sure everyone would prefer the latter especially Sky.
- Imagine you are a recreational player and first time you have played poker. you sit at first table thats got space at the amount you want to play for. I believe a recreational player is much more likely to have a fun game of poker at a 6 max table and therefore more likely to redeposit again if they play 6 max. Although it will probably save them money if they play 10 handed as they will fall asleep instead of gambling all night.
- reducing the amount of table types imo is a positive as it must be so confusing to a lot of people with all the different types of tables. Here is a list of just holdem cash games available:
nl 6 max
pl6 max
mastercash 6 max
action table 6 max
capped 6 max
nl hu
pl hu
Master cash hu
action table hu
now add all different types of tournys, sit and goes omaha cash, omaha hi lo cash. Dont know about you but I am confused.
Not majorly for or against them, was just trying to put a few positives down.
Whatever changes sky do it will attract some players and put others off.
They have to make the decision on what will be overall best. I prefer 10 handed as its easy but boring poker. Although I think getting rid of them is best for site for above reasons.
Hopefully Sky will see sense sooner rather than later and get rid of them , nobody ever ever ever plays them, and they just help clutter an already cluttered lobby.
I play here for MTT's and another site for S&G's cos Sky is obsessed with DYM's .Play two and widen your options. Sometimes I find when I'm running badly on one site I run well on the other.site.
