    I noticed that I had spelled incorrectly in the vote and posted a comment on that because I cant change that section of the first vote.

    Why do you think it is a bad idea?

    Hi Webby, not sure how it equates to a scary tournie - thats the blind structure not the payout. 

    Treble your money SNG's do work, the format is alrewady out on other sites alongside DYM and reg SNG's - I think its a good compromise particularly as DYM are nearly always dominated by one or two players in my experience.

    Alnd as pez pointed towards (in a round about manner ;0) double your money is really increase your money by 82% and treble would increase your money by 173% helping you beat the rake, that has to be a good propostion if you feel confident that you are in the best 2/6 and not just the in the best 3/6 players on a table.

    Hi Rattious

    This has been suggested before but the idea put forward (which was well received) was a 12 man field and top 4 treble up.

    Don't like the idea of 2 from 6.

    Hi Achill,

    I dont like the idea of 4 from 12 with 2 tables, when its 7 handed the short stack on the table of 3 has to face more blinds than the short stack on the 4 handed table and thats not fair when theres only 3 to go to 4 equal cash places.

    Like the idea, and what you've said above raises a problem that sky badly need to deal with which is hand for hand play

    I tried to make the same post for this idea but i cant find it lol.. So i clearly think it would b a good idea but definately not the 6 man a 12 or 18 would suit the format better i would have thought.

    I can't see any harm in giving it a trial see how much interest there really is.

    is this idea a bottle out of heads up?

    either have to do top 4 of 12 or top 6 of 18... or its just the same as normal 6 seaters only its more rewarding if your rubbish heads up..

    other ideas you could have just a regular MTT's like satalites where 1 in 3 places get paid... but this could be adjusted to quad ups etc... so 1 in 4 share prize money.. 

    Say theres 40 in the field in a £3.30 game..   and its 1 in 4.. top 10 get £12 each..
    and say theres 32 in a 1 in 3... insted of top 11 getting paid and 11th only making a double up.. that money gets added to 1st.. so its a bit more rewarding to finish 1st

    Its got nothing to do with bottling heads up!  Its a variation on DYM (which I personally think is a rake builder and poor value) which rewards the best two players equally, and it is not a suggestion to replace normal SNG's its an addition.

    Some may say that to pay 11 in a 1 in 3 payout you need 33 to start.  I assume you read the comments about hand for hand play.....  And why that means DYM or TYM cant run on multi table SNG formats?

    Do you drink diet coke object to cherry coke?  Nobody suggests you drink it, but it is offered as part of a range to suit different consumers.

    Thanks Dude,

    You have hit the nail on the head, it's the only way to see if there is enough demand.
