New "Quids In" Tables

edited March 2014 in Poker Chat
Hi Everybody,

Today we are trialling a new Cash Game variation, "Quids In" tables.

The main thing to know are:

-Blinds are £0.50/£1.

-Betting on each hand is capped at £1 - meaning you get to see all 
         community cards for a pound!

-The "Quids In (£1 Capped)" tables can be found in the Hold-em Cash 
          Game lobby under the "Capped" filter.

There are obviously some interesting elements to the game, like "can the small blind EVER fold?!", but we'd love to know your thoughts on the game.

Have fun!

Sky Peter

    Sorry but this has got to be one of the worst ideas ive ever come across.

    Its a rake builder, nothing more.

    Essentially a Russian Roullete with a minute edge....... maybe.  Never enough to beat rake though.

    Not normally so down about new things but this is lame.

    Are we moving away from poker and just encouraging any form of gambling I ask myself?.
    You may as well just have £1 all in sats winner takes all( which is what this is essentially.
    Why doesn't the desk jockey look at ways of improving the actual game of poker and attracting more players to the site?

    Just had a quick go, these tables are akin to 6 max russian roulette tables. The odds on the sb calling to win any pot are soo high you cant fold. 

    Also the rake ensures you will never ever make a profit. 

    Terrible idea.

    It's not a million miles away from the RR tables but for cash and is there, like RR, for players to have some fun. It's one table out of many, many others and if it's not for you then that's fine.

    I like that sky try new things and don't mind the capped games (even though I don't play them myself) but capped at 1xBB is crazzzzy

    It's exactly that, a trial and for fun. If people don't play them then so be it.

    The one positive is that it shouldn't hurt the liquidity in the way capped games do cos no1 is gonna grind these properly so prob no major harm in them being there

    No fun at all

    Just sat with Gazza and Gooner for a couple of hands. If we'd played for 30 mins, we'd all have been broke.
    Did someone really think that it was a good idea and might catch on?

    Fair enough deleting my last post.

    It wasnt in the best taste.

    But im honestly annoyed that this idea got enough legs to go live.  

    This is a guarenteed method of losing money and generating rake for sky.  Thats the only reason why this has gone live.  Not to provide us with a new and exciting form of cash, but to get easy money off those gullable enough to play this.

    Spend your time and money developing good ideas that will either increase peoples volume or attract new players.  Get increased rake that way.

    Stuff like this is lazy... and won't work anyway.

    Just my 2 cents.

    With future trials/ideas, if you make it possible for players to actually win then they stand more chance of working.

    No player can beat these games, the site is the only winner.

    When players have an edge over eachother, the site wins anyway. Don't need to weight it so heavily in favour of the site. Give players a chance, be flexible with rake fees for different games like other sites are.

    Dont stop trying new things. I'll be suprised if it succeeds though in this form though

    ...what about either 5bb or 10bb all in or fold tables? 

    rake would have to be considered too. not sure you can have the same rake as standard tables.
