Some interesting questions popping up will a DYM player make it to the top 6? its possible, but they would need an extrodinary run IMO. like winning 25/30 DYMS would give you a 52% ROI. that might not even be enough. compare that to a similar standard format run of 10 x wins, 10 x 2nd places from 30 games, gives you an 82% ROI There are some proper sicko DYM players, but i still think we are about 50/50 to get just 1 in the top 6. what ROI will be needed for a top 6 finish? my guess is around 60%, with the winner getting /> 100% TK, have you thought about playing standard PL08 SNGs? - you never know, you might win at them too. My guess is that you avoid them because most of the money is up for grabs when HU... and you suck at HU :) Should TK be allowed to enter? Personally I wouldnt have a problem, some extra value in the SNGs would be welcome IMO Average ROI vs Total ROI? its gotta be average ROI right? there is temptation for collusion and other tactics not in the spirit of the promo otherwise.

In Response to Re: Skill & Go - confused.com? : come and put me in my place in some standard PLO8 SNGs tonight?? personally, I would quite like out try out some PLO8 SNGs before the challenge starts to see how I get on. not sure I have ever seen any run though. Posted by chicknMelt
I might do, I need to have a think first.
The structure is quite different to a DYM.
DYM, 2,000 chips, 5 minute blinds.
6-Max SNG, 1,500 chips, 7 minute blinds.
The blind increments are totally different, too. A DYM takes 6 levels to reach 100-200, a Six Max SNG takes 4 levels to reach 100-200. No 150-300 in the 6-Max, either.
So how will that affect their "playability", compared to a DYM? Faster, slower, neither?
You know how I play, very very passive, never raise, or get aggro. Mainly.
PS - I was having a ball last night, feasting on your BB. Until you caught me out, oops. Most disrespectful, imo, you should fold when I bet.
In Response to Re: Skill & Go - confused.com? : Well yes, "almost". Put it this way, it is so rare to see "bad blood" in the PL8 Table chat-boxes that it always gets noticed, so it must be a rarity. I can recall less than a dozen nasty chat box incidents in the 3,000 PLO8 DYM's I've played in the last few months. Oddly, & sadly, on another Forum last week, the Sky Poker players were described as the rudest players on any Online Poker Site. I don't buy that at all, but I never argued, there was no point. You generally have to "give action to get action", so some of those who complain about chat-box rudeness are actually the culprits themselves, for being obnoxious in the first place. Think of the Bechham Red Card in the World Cup, if you get my drift. Posted by Tikay10
u miss lots then tikay .had a lovely chap(he is quite regular on site) in the 1.10 hi/lo tournament yesterday that told me he hoped i got aids or somthing very similar.all over a quid ffs. i understand the game is very frustrating and can make you a bit cranky especially when heads up your opponent keeps hitting the only card that saves them but its a game and it happens.
but on the whole most are decent people and willing too help or give advice if asked
looks like a good promo but only 6 winners makes it very tough..
a quick question played a dym started about 11.20 last night but finished after 12 will that count towards this promo as the game finished after 12?

you think about things too much
they play pretty similar in terms of time per game, at least the NLH ones do (going on gut feeling only btw)
this is strange, I was sure there was a 150/300 level in the NLH SNGs i was playing last night...

20k/40k blinds... is that incase there is some stolen chips brought in from other games??
I would imagine strategies are fairly similar for DYMs and SNGs - tight early on and agro it up a bit later on.
yes, i know how you play... play on your tight image to steal my blinds!

The NLHE sit and go structures were changed last year, to add the 150/300 level and the 75/150 levels. Seems that the Omaha sng's missed out on that revision. That explains the difference.
No idea about PLO or PLO8, though, so I'd have no idea how it would affect the play.
Just to confirm, the Promo page now states............ We will measure your level of skill based on the average ROI (Return On Investment) of 30 or more 6 Max Sit & Go’s Posted by Tikay10
Say you play 120 DYM;s is it your average ROI from all 120, or the best 30 sequence you put together within that 120? I think thats the key thing Posted by alex1229
It's the average of however many games you play between the specified dates of the promotion.

The blurb states.......
average ROI (Return On Investment) of 30 or more
So that means ALL of them that you play, as long as you play a MINIMUM of 30.
In Response to Re: Skill & Go - confused.com? : Promo does not kick in till 18th march m8 so No and even if it was the 18th today the answer to you question would still be No , as it`s based on the tournament start time. Posted by footsie66
lol i thought it was today thats what happens when up all night :@(

Play 30, it'll be based on 30.
Play 75, it'll be based on all 75.
Play 200, it'll be based on all 200.
That's how it reads to me.
A reminder, this Promo begins at 1 minute after midnight tonight, i.e., 00.01, Tuesday 18th March.
