I'm pretty sure BLADES849 is a SNG / DYM grinder and he seems to be doing alrite. They're 5th on the leaderboard now and have been consistent throughout the whole promo, so it's obv possible. I'm not complaining but I defo agree it's bad timing to be introducing this promo and i'm a cash player. Posted by foldUfairy
RR's!
N he could've bought 4 PS4s with the money he spent 'buying 1'.
ppl who have played hours, most days, checking they are keeping up with the pace to find out it was a waste of time.......they prob care. Just like you cared until you spat your dummy out and said you were leaving.......again.
wounder why no one from sky has said anything? Posted by reece13
They probably cant believe that the Im not good enough to play cash players are moaning that they get more points per £ than cash players this weekend.
If anyone should be moaning its the cash players. But they are too busy getting the job done instead of moaning.
A sit and go player once got over 70000 points in a month before but then again he didnt spend a lot of his time moaning on the forums. So it can be done.
I think you're missing the point AJS. A lot of people are not complaining that cash players are getting the benefit of the promotion; I don't play cash yet I fully understand why cash players get more of such promotions than anyone else. It's just the timing of it and the fact that it is moving the goalposts in another promotion three quarters of the way through.

Do you not have anything to contribute to this discussion?? its about the poor timing of the promotion nothing to do with your opinion on MTT/STG players. A majority of MTT/STG players play them games because they prefer them games.. it would be easy to look at your tournament results via sharkscope and say the reason you are moaning at non cash players is because you havent been good enough to make any money in tournaments. That still is irrelevant to the point of the post. if you wish to openly take a pop at a majority of the players on the site then there are more than enough social networking sites for you to vent your pointless views.
Im not good enough to play cash players get 10 points per £ this weekend.
Unbelievebly its the im not good enough to play cash players that are moaning.
Pretty much every tournament I have played on sky is as a result of sky putting me in for it or asked me to play from tsp. Every time I play a tournament the same thing happens.
I load it up and think this is good, table is super soft and its proper poker. Then hour in the blinds go up and its just a total crapshoot. I just can be bothered as its a joke so i just keep shovin all in so I can get the crapshoot off my screen and load up a proper game of poker.
If any one of the im not good enough to play cash players think they are then let me know and I will happily play you. Obviously I already know I m not going to get any takers.

Cash players arnt getting any benefit from the promotion as they are still getting less points than Im not good enough to play cash players.
The benefit this weekend is still for im not good enough to play cash players as it is all the time.
my contribution is cash players get 9 points per £ this weekend Im not good enough to play cash players get 10 points per £ this weekend.

Agree with you 100% re the points n stuff.
But I'm a 'not good enough to play cash' player who tried to play you a couple of times at a heads up table and you wouldn't play :P

And "I'm not good enough to play DYMs" players are still paying 7.5% rake instead of up to 20%. Cash players are getting huge benefits from this promotion - or are you saying a 50% increase in points is of no use to you?
There is alot of stt/mtt players getting 20k+ easy a month who dont play cash the reason there not in the list is because there already in priority!.
Alot of those at the top of the leaderboard currently wouldnt be there usually as there 9/10 times in priority themselves but due to xmas and that makes sense that they didnt play to much in december.
Anyone can make that leaderboard if they put in the hours and time given yes it benefits higher players without a doubt but they started off from somewhere so they deserve the benefits you get.
If you offered 100% increase points on stt players only i can guarantee you ppl would still moan saying "its only for high stakes players" bla bla so there is never gunna be any compromise with this.
And as ajs4385 already pointed out cash players are still getting less points than stt/mtt players its just down to the fact that cash runs all the time and you can 20 table it if you chose to which you couldnt do in the stt as there nowhere near as popular and take much longer to fill.

I'd like to see evidence for this.
I can think of a couple STT players who make it off the top of my head but the overwhelming majority make it by playing cash. Playing solely MTTs and making 10k is near enough impossible let alone 20k.
I consider myself mainly an MTT player and last month I got to priority for the first time, but only cause i played A HEAP of cash during the promo week in early December.
MTTs players may earn more points per £1 than cash but in terms of time, the points system is hugely favourable to cash players.
However my issue is with none of this. I'm annoyed that Sky have run this promo at the same time as the PS4 promo. Its incredibly unfair to those that have grinded STTs trying to make it into the top 50.... and I cant even enter the promo!

Hey gaz i didnt mean jsut mtt ment with stt lol, yea because cash is the main sorce of sky and i think there is around 10 serious stt players on sky thats it so its always gunna be based on cash players.
Yea that was a it strange to add it and also unfair to those who thought that had done enough but now have to play more.
There was a stt promo they had last year if i remember it was for stt players the top 6 who earned the most points that week would get entry into a 6man private stt with winner getting £1,000 that was a good promo even tho yet again it would only suit the higher players.
I play mainly cash but i think sky should run a kings of cash promo similar to that but in a stt format or maybe off a leaderbord just for stt/mtt players which would keep everyone happy.
Yea i also wish i was in the leaderbord id currently be top if that was the case lol

Cash players knew this from the start of the pormotion, they were not starting their quest for a PS4 knowing that rules and point allocation would be changed half way through the promo. Plus your missing the most important factor, lots of people have jobs and spend their weekends either working or with their kids/family. Not everyone can sit at home and play poker all day like yourself.
There are many people who would never have started to make the top 50 if they knew about 'happy days' .

I totally agree with ajs yet again---- he never spends time moaning on the forum, and always has the utmost respect for people that---- lets face it---- simply are not good enough at poker to command respect from anyone that never moans on the forum!!

If your that good why don't you stay on the 1/2 1.50/3 tabs with all the cash regs. Seen you loads find 1 player on a table who you either don't recognise or don't play that level much and as soon as they have gone u **** off. Thick I call that scared to me. or your just not that good
1.Transition to cash 2. Enjoy the rewards of happy days 3. Make Sky happy to have such loyal customers 4. Profit?... well prolly not because you all suck
