How about a £8.80 £400 Gtd Freezeout each night?

As. The title says and with a 3k starting stack and either 10-12 min lvls?

Im sure this would be quite popular What do you guys think?

Currently you have a £200 Gtd £5.50 which always meets the Gtd and a £250 Gtd £11 which also hits it's numbers.  Having a larger Guarantee and an in between buy-in would find mutal ground as climbing from £5.50 to £11 is probably a bit steep for some.

    Bit of a strange buy in amount, but I would play it if it was at the right time.

    Yeah, much prefer regular freezeouts. No bounty. No re-entry. No rebuys or add ons. Slightly larger stack (but not deep). Medium length blinds.

    Good call TripleAAA!

    With this buy-in amount it would only need 50 runners and with let's say a starting time somewhere been 8-9pm I really do think it would hit the numbers.

    Currently the only freezeouts running daily are:

    £100 Gtd £5.50
    £200 Gtd £5.50
    £250 Gtd £11
    £750 Gtd £22

    It's a bit of a jump going from £5.50 to £22 and the one which is £11 starts at 00:00. Which is quite late for most people during the week.  I just feel that a buy-in of ~£8.80 at peak hour would easily hit the 50+ mark and would provide the community with a decent and affordable tournament rather than the bingo hunters.

    the mini primo is a huge success so it does go to show that with a decent guarantee at an affordable price it would be popular.

    I'd play this. 7 minute levels would be perfect.

    I have to second this idea ! I dont think this tourney would ever have a problem hittting its garantee if it ran at the right times !!! 
    Ino knowone wants to talk about rebuys but I think it would be a great idea to move the 200 rebuy at 5pm to around 8 or 9pm, slap a 1k garantee on it, possibly higher the buy in up 2 11 and  I think this would become a must for the majority of the regs on the site !!!

    It would be nice if someone from the sky team could give feedback whether or not something like this would be possible or not. 3k starting stack, 10 min lvls, ~50ish runners would take around 4hrs or so to complete. The £22 double stack has reached its targetand looks to be an excellent tournament for those who can afford it but what decent Freezeout is there for someone who cannot afford that but wants to play something higher than £5?

    Hi DoubleAAA,

    Thanks for the suggestion, it's a good idea and definitely has potential for a slot in the schedule.

    It's a huge week for tournaments on Sky Poker next week, with UKOPs satellites starting (more of this to come on Monday) and double main event guarantees all week.

    We'll let you know when we decide on this, but realistically i don't see anything moving until late next week at the earliest.

    Keep your ideas coming everyone we really do appreciate them

    We are adding a £2,000 Gtd Rebuy tournament (£11) to the schedule tonight at 9pm, it will also run tomorrow and be reviewed on Monday.

    More details to follow on this

    Best Wishes

    Adam

    Thank you Adam for replying. Hopefully you guys can get it up and running late next week, perhaps start it with a reduced guarantee say £350 Gtd but a starting stack of 3k and 10 min levels would be awesome. Just use the same structure you already have in place for the £200 Gtd as it's very good but with an extra 1k in chips.

    Hi DoubleAAA,

    Yes we did add a freezeout tournament with this structure on Wednesday night at around 8pm with a £5.50 buy in, i believe it was mentioned on the forum, although not on this thread directly. It didnt perform very well (35 runners @ £5.50 with a £250 guarantee)

    I'm happy to run something more akin to the structure you proposed this evening to see how it goes though

    It's in the lobby now

    8.40pm
    £400 Guaranteed Freezeout
    £8.80
    3000 chips, 10 minute blinds
    Late Reg for 30 mins

    Kind Regards

    Adam

    GL like the structure and the format.

    Unfortunately I'm trying to grind up from a small bankroll playing £1 STTs so I will stay disciplined and not join in this time.

    Hope it is a regular fixture.

    Excellent news Adam!  People just need to know it exists.  If you can make it show up in the 'Low' Section it will definately hit it's target as people who play a max of £5 will not click the 'Mid' stakes but I am sure most will spend the extra 3 quid if they can see it.

    Big thank you!
