In Response to Re: UKOPS XIV is here : I was sure u must be joking but then i saw your flag which brought back bad memories of my time playing low stakes games on pokerstars with a bunch of Russian/Eastern europeon nits not my idea of fun. Sky does not have antes so a deep stack full ring mtt is not most peoples idea of fun. I do enjoy sky being a uk only site i guess u live in the uk now.. Posted by ALLEYKITTY
In Response to Re: UKOPS XIV is here : How many players would you think would play a PLO8 event? There seems to be some active posters who play PLO8 and its assumed there will be loads of people who will play it but I dont't see it, for your sake I hope I am wrong. The best way to get sky to support PLO is to get numbers in the games they put on. Its like when you get lots of posters saying they want deepstack games in the daily schedule and in UKOPS then sky put the events on and the numbers are poor. Posted by MattBates
Numbers for PLO9 are increasing. It may be some way behind NLH but players that don't normally play PLO8 will often give it a go during a festival which will push up the numbers further, now & for the future.
Think it would be interesting if in the future SKY ran a HORSE tournament or if that is not possible a three tournament competition of NLH, PLO & PLO8 with a big bonus prize for the best player across all three events. That might entice some of the regulars into playing.

HORSE - don't think that'll be happening near term, that has even less demand than PLO or PLO8. Great game, yeah, but here? Doubt that's viable.
I know a few folk are a bit disappointed that there is only one PLO8 event, but it's a start, imo. My thinking on these sort of things is not to ask for help, but to prove the case ourselves, as players.
Tell all our mates, rustle up some more players, mention it on Twitter & EffBook, do everything to ensure the Guarantee gets well covered. If we Ploppers cover the PLO8 Guarantee by a goodly margin, then, next time round, they'll HAVE to give us more PLO8 events.
You know how much I love PLO8, but there's two sides to this - the VAST majority have no interest in it. I'm chuffed to bits it's been included. Now let's build on it.
Really looking forward to this and trying new games ( mix game fish) Pretty gutted its clashing with Punta Cana. But at least we'll be back for the main.

That's a cake & eat it thing. Thought you played nice & snug last night - well done.
There are five main sections Daily Results. See the day results of the tournaments on any of the 15 days of the UKOPS festival. Click on one of the 15 buttons.
Daily Best. Each day you can see the Best Player. I am hoping that Sky Poker reward the top players each day. I think that would be good and it will generate more play. See the daily points winner by selecting the day button.
UKOPS Best Player. The Main Leaderboard totals the points throughout the UKOPS festival. This will show the Top 100 Best Players. It will also show the movement from the previous day, e.g. up 12 places, or new entry at 66.
UKOPS Profit. Total Profit of the Top 50 Players throughout the 15 days of the festival
UKOPS Live. On the final day of the festival there will be many in with a chance of the main prize and UKOPS Best Player title. I intend to run a leaderboard that is updated every 30 minutes to indicate who is currently leading. It will show the points of the top 100 and their points as it stands.

As an active PL08 player I can only agree that many PL08 Ts would not be attractive to the masss. However, sticking an £11 PL08 T at 6pm on a thurs is setting it up to fail imo. I'll play and hope i'm wrong or end up in a 1K T with 30 runners.
Running this at 8pm would be soooo much better, since all the regs who plays thurs eves would likely play.

I'm not against changing the time of this particular event as it does make sense to have it at a more playable time for everyone.
Can you please confirm that the Jackpot will still run over UKOPS (8pm Main & 8.30pm Mini). Also, what will the structures of the minis be please? Posted by MAXALLY
Re: Final Table Jackpot, we're currently looking at this promotion and wondering whether to do something else with the spend. I believe Tikay will be posting a thread asking for your feedback later today...
As for the structures of the Minis, I will come back to you on that.

Excuse my ignorance but how do the double chance games work? Do you get '2 starting stacks' for your buy-in? Or does it cost you again to enter if you get knocked out?

It seems that quite a few of us have different ideas about what this means. I mean it as:
