I really think it's time for Tikay and Mr Orford to dip their toes too. Maybe guest appearances and of course Mr Channing making guest appearances now and again. What other players would you like to see or have a chance to play on the Plo8 tables? Hopefully this may get more people to dup their toes and have fun. Good luck tonight gutted can't play.

 Interesting thread.  I would tend to agree with Rancid here. I think the two games can achieve different things.  PLO8 has a foothold...that nice little start is great and it can be built on to attract PLO8 players from other sites to come and try Sky Poker as their PLO8 home. Maybe the way to encourage that is to attempt a 2nd night...maybe Saturday and have a bigger buy-in mtt with perhaps a reasonably ambitious guarantee and a decent super-sat on Thursdays. I wouldn't be any more ambitious than that though, it's not like you should jump right in and have a big buy-in five nights a week.  Saturday is a funny night for online poker. There are three nights when recreational players want to play and obviously Sunday is the one that most people focus on as that is when the big events have traditionally been on. I do think it's very hard for any site to compete head-on with Stars on a Sunday though and I think a lot of sites miss the chance to try something different on Saturday.  A couple of years ago all we ever heard was that PLO is coming and that it might even take over from NLH. It never really happened and even if the top cash pros went down that route most players did not. I would say it's a great way for a site to encourage players who have perhaps tired a little of NLH to reinvigorate their love of poker. I would focus on PLO being a way of getting existing NLH players to experiment with the switch which means going for the same structure and tournament type that is popular in NLH and making it PLO. I would run this also on Saturday...make it Omaha night, and I wouldn't worry so much about having to go crazy to push the sats...I'd imagine this will fill more easily and you'll have a bigger player base.  Maybe you have an extra promotion of a jackpot for players final-tabling both Saturday Omaha events.  Some great ideas on this thread. Sorry if I've detracted from any of them. As someone who hasn't been involved in the PLO8 revival around here I maybe should keep my beak out.

been away for abit from this discussion but I think you have it there.
Build on the PL08 success, maybe with another night (such as some extra games on sun to support the league game.
the other suggestions around PLO/NLO are also spot on imo.
