Sky Dan has spent the last month pouring blood, sweat and tears into this festival and at last it is here. It all kicks off on 1 November and there is 15 days of fun with a total guaranteed prizepool well in excess of £500,000. 

Have a look and let him know what you think. Feel free to leave any questions you have about the festival and we will try our best to field as many as we can.

    Only thing would be to watch out for "supposedly new players" or old players making up new alias's to abuse the set up

    We are completely on top of this and have the people and systems in place to handle it.

    Looks great, caters for all tastes and bankrolls  and you'd hope there will be no complaints!

    Will be aiming to satellite into the £110 Deepstack and if I don't manage it, I'll enter the £5 one instead! :)

    Looks good. Will try and play as many as I can. One thing though, lobby looks very cluttered at the moment!

    EDIT: Alls good now, been decluttered!

    On the Super BHers

    1)  Is the software capable of handling a 2500 runner MTT?
    2)  Why is the player limit on these 2500?
    3)  Is the actual intention here to give away overlay, some shadow promo focussed at attracting new players?  And if so how strong is the marketing for new players being done and where is it being done?

    I'm also worried about the ability for the software to handle a 2500 runner MTT. Hopefully it goes smooth sailing though.

    Morning chaps.

    There have been no "site issues" related to high volume of players since the new site was introduced, some 2 or 3 years (?) ago, & I gather the site has been load tested to a number far in excess of that.  

    The number of 2,500 for the £25,000 BH's was mentioned, but bear in mind, even if we assume it makes exactly 2,500 runners, there will be far more players on the site at that time. 

    If we look at Day 8, for example, between 7pm & 8.30pm, there are 5 Tournaments which, if they were all to exactly match the guarantee, would mean  (330 + 2,500 + 60 +200 + 1,000) = 4,090 runners (minus some early exits). Now add in those who are not playing MTT's, but are playing SNG's & Cash & the number gets considerably larger.

    Assuming Friday night is reasonably busy for the site. 

    9pm

    3702 Online 2238 Seated

    So expectation is for more players than were seated at 9pm to play a specific tournament?

    In the words of Sir Humphrey from Yes, Prime Minister what a brave idea!

    Sorry if there appears negativity from the last few posts but is concerns as having a large tournament that has overlay isnt good for anyone nor is having the software struggle and fall down and this being a load of players most recent experience of the site (especially when a number of them may not have played since the double 3max UKOPS situation!).

    You may rest assured, Matt, that the Business is not madly keen on the idea of overlay.......;)

    Doubt they just done this on a whim, either, it will have been extensively thought through, on both day to day & strategic level. To the Business, it's not just about a bunch of Tournaments, it's a whole lot more.  

    Did you see the Sky Poker adverts on the TV last night? No? Don't worry, there are plenty more to follow throughout October.

    I deffo agree it's a "brave idea" but personally, I think that's something to be applauded. Like a bit of courage, me.
