    Yes, I've just seen that and hopefully the wording will be changed on the promotion page.

    It would be a pity if this promotion didn't achieve what it set out to. It's a very good idea with, perhaps, the odd problem in the execution. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for it.

    For what it's worth, the absolute maximum ROI in a single sng is 254.5%, so that would be the maximum ROI if average is used.

    To clear things up, AVERAGE ROI will be used not TOTAL ROI.

    We'll update the promo page to make it a bit clearer now.

    I think it's a great promotion!
    At least for the duration, you wont have to wait long for your table to open and bigger bankrolled regs will have guaranteed action.
    Its a win for all, whatever your bankroll
    and an opportunity for Paige55 to take it down with her 30p dyms and add a second title to her top of the posts lol

    Just a thought, whats the world record for consecutive dym wins?
    There's a possibility it could be broken. Wouldn't that be an achievement?

    Yes he won it playing 30p and 60p omaha dyms. 52 I think it was and yes it still stands today.

    With the high rake his roi wouldnt have been too high though.

    Started.... and most likely failed my challenge tonight.

    Well maybe not quite failed just yet. have played 6 (still got a 7th going) and only won 1. Came close to 2nd 3 of the times but bubbled :(

    Not ran too well, kings being bust a couple times then someone calling my 3 barrel with 4th pair!! (lesson learnt not to try that again in micro stakes.

    I assume Head Hunters count?

    Potential ROI of 445% per table.

    I just saw a guy win one with 5 heads, his ROI was 336%.

    Not a good start for me, I was the fifth head; my J7 no good on a 779 flop lol. Bricked my first 6-max.

    This is an interesting promotion, but there are concerns for me.

    I, like many others, am predominantly a DYM player. Due to the pure nature of DYM, the ROI is waaaaaaaaaaay lower than that of a good 6 max player.

    I would like to have a go at playing 30 6 max games and have that count, but, having read the terms etc it looks like it would be combined with my dym games.

    So I dont really get it, all DYM players are effectively never going to win at this promotion right?

    Also is there a minimum buy in?

    jacq im just going with dohhhh's idea - go with 30 6 max sng's if i have a decent ROI stop right there in hope i qualify for the final table thing and move to another site for remainder. If all goes wrong then can just back to my normal dym grind.

    Someone from sky didnt really think it all thru from that perspective. im at -4% for first 4 games lol so might be back to my normal grind before the 30 games are even out! enjoying getting back o normal sng's tho - certainly a change from dyms

    Cant see how they can be excluded, its just a wording thing. A DYM IS a 6max SnG. They all are, they're 6max and 'go' when 6 people 'sit'
  • Lambert180Lambert180 Member Posts: 12,197

    My point is the bh IS a 6max SnG, they all are. Its like saying the ME isn't 6max cos its not in the title. All the games mentioned are SnGs and 6max, so can't see how they're not allowed.

    Fwiw, I'm not defending them for my own benefit, I have no intention of playing the BH ones, its just pure punting imo and still think ROIs will be better in regulars

    Well I'm in.

    Been offsite for a while - just very busy no gripes with the site.

    This PROMO is right up my street and just the thing to get me back playing and will hopefully get me back on track with my diary too.

    Thank you Sky nice one.

    I know what you saying mate ..but the terms and condition state which  sit n go`s qualify clearly. Maybe sky can clear up an lingering doubts you have. sky head hunter is the name of the BH you mention , its not called 6 max, Trust me these are not included. The prizing structure in them is completely different and does not accommodate the structure in the skill n go  promo.

    Not looking for an argument but

    as lambert says, they are 6 max and they are SnG, so they are covered in those T&Cs.
    They are also under the same heading in the lobby as the regular SnG.
    Therefore they should qualify.

    This needs clarifying quickly.
