    Quick memory jogger - there will be THREE Half Time Tournaments on Sky Poker this weekend. (See OP for details).

    £5 entry, & a £2,000 Guarantee, means they need 400 runners to cover the Guarantee.

    I think the prizepool has been set-up as if it is a freeroll.

    These are good fun though.

    My bad Matt, I asked the question & I was reliably informed there would not be a Reg Fee. However, as it was never likely to hit the Guarantee, I don't think it's terrible & it's effectively irrelevant. 

    Apoologies though.

    As to the min cash, Conor asked the question already on the other thread. No idea if it was intentional or a mistake, but I WILL clarify before tomorrow's HTT's.

    As you say, for £5, with a bag in overlay, they were fun & I can't imagine anyone is gonna get uppity.

    How much did you cash for? Just, you know, asking, like.

    What?

    I played at least TWO hands in 15 minutes. 

    I went three X 2 hour levels in  a WSOP jobbie this year without playing a hand.

    Positively aggro, me.

    Yeah sick indeed.  I pushed in with 90 left with KK, 3 callers and AJ won it.

    Variance indeed :p
