    Interesting thing has happened here... Look at the bronze leaderoard compared to the silver. Just shows people really can put the grind in when they think they have a good chance...

    Tbh, it just shows how many people can multi-account or turn up for a 1 off promo cos they didn't play much the previous month imo. Alot of these aren't regs that have upped their grind.

    It can't be a complete new account, because they needed a minimum of 100 points last month. There are 1 or 2 names on there I know used to be high rake generators though.

    This promotion would be great if it ran again next month, especially at the bronze level.

    From the promo page...

    "If you earned between 0 – 99 points in February then you can choose which leaderboard you would like to play on.

    The first leaderboard you opt-in to will be the one that you are on."

    So no reason why someone couldn't make a brand new account for it.

    If you were a big high raking player, which table would you pick? Knowing you could CRUSH Bronze easily and lock up 2 x £850 or try to compete with some of the highest rakers on the site when it's only a fairly small difference in Gold (2 x £1100)

    Some of them are 'old' players though yeah. One of them seems to come and go from the site (both at the tables and on the forum) in exact correllation with someone else that comes and goes from the site and forum. But meh, no point moaning about it.

    Ah, I didn't know that. Kind of a rubbish rule IMO.

    The perfect promo will never exist, but sky listened to everyones suggestions following the winter promo re splitting the prizes into different tierings..and they have so you cant slate them for that

    A few minor adjustments might need to be made, but its a good promo nonetheless

    I'm sure it's not easy, but it seems to be a re-occurring theme with these promotions at the moment.

    Start with a good idea, build it into a very good idea and then just before they sign it off, someone throws something in that spoils the good ideas and intentions.

    It's a good promo for those who get under 3000pp in a month, for the bronze level.

    Atleast a lot of people will get some sort of prize, even if it's only a tenner or 20 quid.

    But it does mean someone who hasn't played much last month, but is a grinder, can lock up top spot.

    This promo was definatly gonna benefit some, but not everyone.

    That will be the case for any promotion.

    Not sure how we can really criticise Sky for this one. Every player can win an amount out of it. Previous promotions have been slated for only looking after the higher stakes grinders. I'm putting in next to no volume presently and yet have just noticed that currently I'm gonna get a tenner. 

    For the grinders at the lower stakes, this is a chance to win a significant prize by putting in a little more volume than normal. In previous promotions this wasn't possible.

    The perfect promotion doesn't exist. This is a pretty good go at it in my opinion.

    Definatly mate.

    A good idea for a promo, might be something like an individual rake race, something a long those lines.

    Or something like the golden tickets, which is really inclusive.

    Don't really like this promotion at all. All the people who put in mass volume are at a disadvantage, especially those at the lower stakes. Those playing 5nl-50nl that would still be lumped into the gold bracket where they have no chance of competing rake wise against the 100nl and 200nl regs on that leader board

    Seems it would be fairer to differentiate leader boards by stakes with a larger prizepool for the higher stakes. Low stakes grinders miss out on this one

    "Compete with players at your level".Yeah right.I play for a month to get enough points to enrol on the bronze level and then Sky allow anyone who didnt even get  1 poker point in February to join in.I doubt if Arazi needs to play again this week to win it.
