    Yes Yes Yes ..Apologise to the suits for calling them Muppet's (best i don't apply for a job  then)
    and as for DES  "YOUR THE BEST"  !!!  Great work in such short time ...
     You see TK how hard was that,  simple little satellite's for any tournament in the 'sit and go's !! 
    TK was the best but DES is now the man !!

    Right where was I ...oh yes more Vino  !! More post's to get into !!
    Oh ..and let me say here ...MickJenn  tournament MTT on Thursday evening....brilliant Idea !!

    " Who can ya turn to " !!  Benny   :))

    the problem is=the more that get paid the less the cash positions get.

    then you will complain about not getting value!

    i am one of the many who was happy about the edition of this tourney.i dont think it should be daily though as i cant aford to play every day and if it was just a couple of nights a week it would get more entries imo.

    Delighted - not just that some of the concerns have been addressed, but also that we are all singing the same song now. We all want this Tourney, the rest is mere detail, & Sky Poker listened.

    Can't wait to get home & play this - I'll pre-Register for every night I'm available. There's your valooooooooooo

    I dont think anything needs changing!!! We got 37 runners tonight Tikay :-) Result, so 5 paid, personally i dont feel a need for the 6 places paid rule, but give it a go if thats what people want, but like the guy said above, then people will moan about value... Just keep it simple IMO

    37? Excellent, we are on the Up.

    I'm with you as to the payout structure, as it happens, but I'm happy to go with the flow, it's not that big a deal to me, either way.

    Really pleased to hear there were 37 tonight. Been a fun campaign, this, now we just have to support it.

    Yes  well done SKY and TK and my main man DES ....well i was  to busy on here to find  a satellite, so had to buy in  direct (sigh) .. made the final table ..finish 4th for 81 sov's ... alot of real good banter with mickjenn and others ...my apologies to the grizzlier with the short stack who i called with JQ soot-ed i'm already in the BB  ...they had AA ! and i got  lucky. They never stopped moaning at my bad play  me calling their  AA ....jeez it's poker ... but i do love an emotional game ...


    If i counted the times i lost with AA,  it would be about the same,  as amount of times Ive won with  7 . 2 o/s ....!!!!!!!

    Great game...more satellite's please  so  others get a chance to enter this one !

    glk all  benny

    @Des, Tikay and Sky Suits: Implementation of satellites is great news. It's a shame that they wont follow the same structure as the tournament itself but if I were playing a satellite I wouldn't want it to last for 3 hours so it has to be done.

    In Response to Re: 500gtd deep stack payment structure has to change NOW:
    Now we generally would not do this, as 10% of the field is the norm, however we are keen to help you make this tournament successful so we will pay six until we start to see regular fields of 70 players plus.  Then we will readjust back to 10% of the field.  Posted by Sky_Des
    I'm not a fan of the payout structure changing. Personally I don't think that changing it would make a significant difference to the numbers of entrants, yes we're paying double the people when the field is less than 30 but when the field surpasses 30 the top 2 places are losing so much value just for one extra payout, and.....

    the field numbers have clearly bumped up already BEFORE the implementation of the changed payout structure. I'd like to think the increase in numbers has something to do with the new satellites (which I believe started yesterday? Please correct me if i'm wrong). If, with these satellites, we're passing 30 entrants  regularly (and therefore surpassing the guarantee) IMO there's no need to take money off the top 2 places for one extra payout.

    If it is insisted by others that the renewed payout structure continues then I would ask that we revert to the usual 10% rule well before we start getting a regular field of 70 plus, maybe bring the number down to 50?

    Well done to sky for trying new ideas that people have asked for (im talking about the idea of paying 6 places) but even with all the whingers that not enough getting paid, we only had 23 runners which is the 2nd lowest we have had... think this shows it doesnt make much of a difference and like myself and Tikay and many other REGULARS have said, lets keep it as it is, use skys usual payouts and stick with what we know!

    The final table was a very good game, congrats to flash, moo, drew and spitfire we a had probably the highest quality game i'vd had on here. Flash was a deserving winner. In terms of the payout structure i actually think paying 6 was a good idea. Looking back through all of the other posts, players have been asking for this, also it spreads the wealth. If you play everynight this can easily become expensive, i'm pretty sure that the 6 of us that cashed tonight will be back tomorrow. If you want a good game come and join us!
    Thanks to sky for the tournie and the satellites (i like to get in cheap if i can, lol).
