    Those reductions above are part of the fettling & tweaking taking part almost daily, as the new Schedule beds in.

    Traffic has been really good, but some of the new Guarantees were a bit ambitious, & a bit soon.
     
    The plan - all being well - is to stick with those that are struggling a little longer with reduced Guarantees, & then, as the seasonality kicks in, & players get more comfy with the what, when & how much of the new schedule, raise the Guarantees again.
     
    Be really interesting to see the numbers n this week's Sunday Major - last Sunday it was 70% above what it was a month ago, & in fact the highest non-UKOPS Super Roller (as was) field for 18 months.

    What is the reasoning behind the removal of the £5 Deep stack at 7.45pm? 

    I have often played them and they seem to make the guarantee so can't see why they would be taken off the schedule?

    Maybe I am missing something.

    Hi Pete,

    Yes, a little unfortunate for those that enjoyed this one, but it was removed for tactical reasons.

    Tactical reasons?

    Ever the optimst (being a Lecester fan, it does work, look at last season!) I will assume that tactical reasons mean because there is something even better in the pipelne for those of us who like reasonably priced Deep Stacks :)

    Wondered if there was any news on MTT Deepstacks?

    I know there is a £2.20 one in the evening which attracts a reasonable field but wondered if any at the £5 or higher were bring considered, even if they were only a few times a week rather than daily.

    While I accept Sky's main selling point is six max tables and Bounty Hunters,  there are loyal Sky players who like to p!ay other things as well.

    Not that I am aware of Pete, but I'll ask the question in the morning.

    Think we both know the likely answer, but it's a fair question, so I will ask.

    I'm sure there is often a £5.50 £200 deepstack that runs at 20:15. Can't remember what day/s though

    There used to be Waller but not any more, hence the question.

    If there was my apologies and that's great news. They had been running every night and were then removed.

    Quite possible I have missed them and am wrong but all I have seen on the schedule are £1 and £2 Deepststacks.

    Hi Pete,

    There is a £5.50 Freezeout every night at 9pm, though it's not a Deep Stack (it has 2,000 starting chips),
    HERE

    I fear the issue is that it's hard to get enough players to play "regular" Deepstacks these days. If I were still playing MTT's, that's what I'd play, as I'm not into all this Fancy Dan stuff, but the times they are a changing, as Mr Dylan famously sung, or, more correctly, wailed.

    Hi, yes I do play that when I can but as you say it's not a Deepstack. The lack of Deepststacks is a shame but not a lot I can do about it and the fact I have seen no other posts bemoaning their demise suggests I am in the minority!

    Don't get me wrong, I do like the Bounty Hunters but not all the time.

    Thanks - typically that's the one night I am normally out so can't play. 

    I will zip it on the subject now I promise ☺☺

    Fwiw, I agree with you on this anyway, don't see why it can't be run nightly.

    Cheers for running the Naps league again by the way, really enjoyed it last year.

    The 7:45 £11 BH could this be made a 1k gtee BH and also the 8:15pm through out the whole week (during the winter)

    Also, Could the 11:30 at the weekend Fri and Sat, also be made a £1k Gtee normal structure bh like the 11pm and 12:30pm.

    These MTT's always seem to smash their gtees,so pretty sure the 11:30 would also do very well as it historically did until its relegation to a £500 turbo mtt.

    The Bounty Hunter Champion High Roller, which runs at 1945 every night until January 29th, will now be a £10,000 Guarantee 6 nights per week, & £15,000 on a Sunday.

    Previously it was £15,000 on Saturday & Sunday, but unforch, on Saturdays it was missing the G'tee by some way allowing for the Freebies that were given away, so Saturday has been reduced to £10,000. Sunday remains at £15,000.

    The Bounty Hunter Champion High Roller continues to struggle, & so for weeks 3 & 4 the Guarantees will be as follows:

    Monday to Friday High Roller, £8,000.

    Saturday & Sunday will remain as per previous post, that is to say £10,000 on Saturdays & £15,000 on Sundays.
