    Pls do not introduce PL08 rebuy tournaments. the rebuy element in split pot games just leads to almost everyone getting to the 10-15BB level. there is no reward for winning chips early!

    I agree with what icetiger says, 11/22s are the way to go. GTD will need to be bigger than 200 for a 22 though.

    I kind of agree with your misgivings about rebuys for PLO8 but I am surprised that SKY has not tried them because they pull in the numbers on other sites. Maybe the software doesn't allow it.

    I would go with £200 GTD on the first couple of £22 events but it needs to be regularly reviewed so that it moves upwards as an incentive to pull in players. It could quite easily reach £500 GTD within a few weeks.

    Bump.
    Any news or plans on this?
    Would it hurt to schedule a once a week £10+ no guarantee tourney? Or even try it out once?
    There must be 20 or so of us who play £10 DYMs at the drop of a hat, most of us would play a £10+ tourney I'm sure, that's just for starters.
    To reiterate, the Thursday tournaments are great for the community, but many of us are put off by the very small buy-ins, the lack of 'poker' to be had and the resultant £2 profit if you manage to evade the bingo brigade and reach an FT.
    The site can only benefit from a bigger regular buy-in tourney.
    All the above IMHO of course.
    But.
    I'm bang on the money.
