Could we please have a £4.40 DYM that pays £8 with 4 points?

thefa1lacy

I have always thought there seems a gap where a £4.40 DYM should be. £1, £2, £3 and £5 are all represented, just as 2, 3 and 5 points are. So why nothing for £4 and 4 points?

I believe they would be extremely popular with the crowd for whom the £5.50 seems too much and they are frequented by sharks anyway.

So Sky could we please have a £4.40 DYM that pays out £8 and awards 4 points??

There has to be a cut off somewhere, I would have thought filling current SnG games is a bigger priority than adding more choices

  Hi lacy , I think this is great idea , it would be a good idea for sky to have a look at the idea.

I think something between £5.50 & £11 would be more in order.

If you are playing standard brm it will take a long time to build it up to a level to play £11's & only a small bad run at the start to have to drop back down.

So my vote would go for a £7.70.

I agree

I am afraid to take a proper shot at 11 DYMs.

I think a 7.70 would be good

How about £6.60 dyms?

thefa1lacy

I'd be happy to see a £6.60 and a £7.70 DYM, (awarding 6 & 7 points) put on by Sky. I play a fair few £5.50's and the odd £11 and there is a big jump between the two, but for lower stakers, you can win £2, £4, and £6 so why not £8?

If players that have used the site before were to hear Sky are shaking things up a bit with new DYM's, it could encourage them to return and play here..

dont be so stupid, why would anyone play a £67.43 MTT??  I would like to see a £71.69 MTT and I believe they would be far more popular so if sky could arrange this that would be great.

Hi Fa1lacy,

You are getting a bit of stick here - boys will be boys! - but the real answer to your question (imo) is....

By adding an extra DYM to the existing portfolio, all it achieves is to thin out the liquidity across the buy-ins above & below £4.40, (£3.30 & £5.50) which would be a bad thing. It just spreads the same number of players over more DYM's, so they all suffer.

Adding a Buy-In Level is easy, very easy, but you have to consider the effect it has.
 
One option would be to remove the £3.30 &/or £5.50, but that would be overwhelmingly unpopular with most who currently play those levels, & would create a right hoohah, perhaps rightly so.
 
It looks so simple, but you have to consider the consequences, which I have outlined.

I have no idea whether Sky Poker would consider your suggestion, but I'm pretty sure they would not do so for the reasons I have outlined.

Hope that helps explain the likely thinking.

Thanks for the detailed response Tikay (as always!) I'll just have to hope the player pool increases in the future, so Sky can squeeze one more DYM in.

Absolutely ridiculous, who in there right mind would play a £71.69 game for 71.69 points. i get the general jist but i think a more popular format would be a  £73.27 giving us all a 73.27 points each time we play one.

I know i would certainly be getting excited to register for one of these when i saw it in the lobby, so come on sky, give us what we want

love vinny
