Hi Everybody,


Starting today we will be changing the selection of Cash Tables we offer and shall be removing "Action Tables" from the lobby.

A selection of "Action Tables" have already been removed and the remainder of the tables shall be removed over time.


Many thanks.


Sky Peter.

    Surprised they are being removed.

    They were decent tables to have.

    Hi,

    The reasoning behind it was that upon reviewing them in comparison to other tables we saw that they were unpopular.

    We think removing these tables could boost the amount of players that are invovled in other limits.

    I think this is a good decision. I think the lowest buy in areas are the best and in my hours on NL4/8 ive very rarely seen many NL5 action tables running (thats not to say they havent)

    As they said, removed for business reasons and makes sense as they have all the data.

    If you are removing tables as they are unpopular I take it you'll be getting rid of the 200nl+ HU cash tables?  Much more play on the action tables in the last year, the HU tables are generally just people sat by themselves.  I look forward to seeing them gone and now legitimately expect this.

    Defo keep the Capped tables, recreational players love them.

    And please pelase keep the 1/1 on Mastercash 40

    Please get rid of capped tables, they seriously damage liquidity if they get going

    eg tonight at 10pm we have 2 capped and 4 normal tables going

    Normally if no capped get going we would have about 10 to 12 normal tables at this time.

    I had a conversation explaining why this happens with one of guys in charge (forgot his name) but nothing was done.

    I assume Sky would prefer 10 to 12 normal tables going than 4 plus 2 capped.

    Silver lining of capped tables is they are softer.

    The less type of tables the better as games get going quicker (which is a big weakness for sky) and lobby looks cleaner.

    good decision imo - just need to get rid of the HU tables now - or have 1 or 2 max at each limit

    also im with tommyd on keeping the super deep 1/1, or just have a 400bb deep .5/1
    im also with the others in getting rid of the capped tables
    also get rid of pot limit imo

    Don't know if it was by accident or design, but when doing last night's Show, we showed action from MasterCash Table 40, which is a £1 £1 Action Table with a max pull up of 200 Bigs.
     
    Looking at the lobby this morning, it is still there, but all the other Action Tables have gone.

    The reason why I am currently typing while on my knees while chanting 'Mmmm Ceeeee Fourrr Teeeee! Mmmm Ceeeee Fourrr Teeeee!' is whenever this table was set up, the person got a little confused between number of BB and cash amount for max pull up.  The max buy in for MC40 is £400 or 400bb.  It is the most fun table on the site and gets running regularly (I may be involved with that as I try to start it when I can).

    To Quote the 1960's group 'Them'  "Baby please don't go, you know we love you so baby please don't go.'

    Oh and P.S. to other posts above, HU Cash tables hurt liquidity more than capped tables.
