I guess this is the reason why it's all been a bit quiet on the SPT front.
A slightly smaler BI would have been nice but I'll deffo be trying to qualify for it.

RIP SPTs?
However, the Sky Poker 6-Max UKPC begins with a £250 Event, so, hopefully, that will bridge the gap. It includes 50 Seats to the Main Event, too, so hopefully, folks will enjoy it.
many many Sky Poker players came and played the first UKPC, if not the main the side and support events, or just came to rail
No doubt the same will happen in August, hope so
Its been suggested a few times about sats being in the SnG lobby. Could this be a good opportunity to do this? No overlay risk if done this way.
Yes, point taken, but the first priority is to start shifting seats to the Main Event.
As I indicated earlier, hopefully, down the line, satellites to the £250 Mini can also be run. Personally, I very much hope that is the case.
I'll certainly pass on your suggestion of Satelites in the SNG Lobby.
The £250 Mini is a very important part of the Festival, but right now, I'm pretty sure they want to focus on the Main. Fortunately, we have a good lead time, so it gives plenty of time for everything, all being well.
Will you be donating? Your special chair can be arranged.
Tikay i respect sky wish to see out the main event. However surely its worse for sky if me and several other players decide we cant afford too many shots at a sat for the main. As is likely for me and surely main other low stakes players (which makes up a huge chunk of skys player pool), we then decide ok i wont bother doing that. Ill withdraw my money, put it on the dtd site and play sats for the mini.
The position is exactly as I stated earlier. Sky Poker have an obligation to get that Main Event Guarantee met, & that will be the first priority, come what may.
You can play the Satellites you wish wherever you wish, every player has that choice. The Business DID consider these matters with great care, by the way.
I will share with you that the ORIGINAL 6-Max UKPC schedule, being discussed between DTD & Sky Poker, did not include the Mini, but it seemed a great idea to include it, & so it was added. I think that was an excellent idea.
Once again, as I have twice stated, once progress is made on qualifying players to the Main Event, the Mini will be looked at to see if a satellite schedule can be accommodated.
The business has to juggle this stuff with some care - for instance, it is UKOPS this weekend, so care must be taken not to interfere with that. Other Promotions are in the pipeline, too, ditto ditto.
Err, yes, considerable thoughtage & debateage was invested.....
The bee in the bonnet thing? Can't really defend that one, can I? Guess you caught them on a bad day. Sorry, it happens, we all have them.
As you were, & I'll Post the Sync Break thing tomorrow morning.
I'm gonna go outside & have a little cry now.
Da de da de da de da, da de da de da daaaaaaaa.
why wouldn't you travel to DTD, stay over for the time you can? (assuming you've satellited in?)
central location, great transport links....
excellent stuff rich
Will you be playing the PLO?
Which "Mr Wright", I know numerous? I know a few Miss Wrongs, too, but thats another story.
Will I play the Omaha? Depends if the Suits give me a Pass. I'd certaibnly like to, but, you know, "Front of House" is an exceedingly weighty responsibility, I don't just stand there looking pretty you know.
Height related gag? You FAIL, you missed some open goals.
Imagine the headlines....
Mini-Man wins Mini
4'-Max Man wins 6-Max
I hear Karl Mahrenholz is playing, too. LOVE to see you two Heads Up.
