This 20:15 bounty hunter has been in and out like a yo-yo. After doing some analysis I agree there is room for a £1,000 version on a weekend. I will put in a £750 version mon-thurs. I'll increase late reg too. Thanks for the feedback Posted by Sky__James
Brilliant, thanks James. You wouldn't get that service on any other Poker site. Better make sure I play it tonight!
I love the choice of games available and hope Sky persist even if some guarantees are dropped. There are too many for me tto be able to play them all especially at the peak between 8pm and 1030 ish.
However there is still a small gap for me at tea tiem/early evening. I prefer £21+ buy ins and there is nothing between the 6pm BH and 730pm BH. Something turboish at 530 or 7 would be ideal
In Response to Re: MTT changes & discussion thread : Any news on more of these? I think these would make a great addition to the schedule. Hourly I expect they would do well. In reply to if there is a demand? You won't know until you try them? Sky Sam etc to comment please??? Posted by CraigSG1
So if a player plays 2 tournaments and gets the minimum payout on a min cash in 1 and doesnt cash other, they make a loss.Doesnt sound like too much fun for any player, pro or not.
Hopefully these payouts dont feature during ukops at least.

The 150% Payout Structure is in place for UKOPS & beyond. (Except Bounty Hunters & Sky High Roller)
As always, Sky Poker will listen to their players, & examine the Data, & if something is amiss, they'll change it.
The Min Cash in, say, last Sunday's £110 Roller was, for the record, about £160 I believe.
So yes, if you play 2 & Min Cash in 1, you'd be down overall.
Equally, if you min cash in 1, you'd be better off, as with the 10% Payout Structure you'd have got zero previously.
And if you min cashed in 2, you'd be loads better off than previously.

Love Sky, always leading the way in the poker world.
If the Megastack does make a triumphant return, then please look at and adjust the structure.
It starts off stupidly deep, then gets stupidly shallow at the business end. Really no need for the 10/20 and 15/30 level, could also lose the 20/40 level and start it at 25/50 but add in levels like 250/500 and 500/1000 to give it a better flow.
^^^^ Just to finalise the Payouts question, as I now have all the info. Bounty Hunters all remain unchanged. All Freezeouts & rebuys (with 2 exceptions) now pay 15% of the field. The 2 exception are the Sky High Roller & Super Rebuy. In both cases, these tend to attract a different profile of player, & these guys do prefer more up top & less places paid. Posted by Tikay10
I dont know if all sky tournaments are paying 15% of the field- but the recent PL08 tournaments i've played are still paying 10%.
In Response to Re: MTT changes & discussion thread : I dont know if all sky tournaments are paying 15% of the field- but the recent PL08 tournaments i've played are still paying 10%. can we get an answer on whether this is corrret? Posted by suzy666
Hi Mr Suzy,
Good question.
It's either deliberate, for some reason, or, when amending all the payout templates, they simply forgot to amend the PLO8 stuff.
I apologize wholeheartedley for my last post when I said 'think again TK'. I have mistakenly thought for many years that you were the big boss of a team running the Poker site for Sky. After seeing your reply I realise I could not have been more wrong.
I have always held your good self in the highest esteem, and you have obviously performed your role as advisor to the heirachy to the highest possible standards because Sky Poker is miles ahead of the competition when it comes to friendliness and response to the players feedback. In fact if there was an award for Ultimate Ambassador of Poker then you would get my vote every tlme, and I'm sure it would be the same from my fellow players. Once again sorry, and keep up the good work.

Good Lord, what a lovely post, thank you very much.
All I do is here is try to communicate stuff both ways - players to Business, & vice versa. It would be optimistic in the extreme to suggest many of them listen, or I have any influence.
I do love helping both sides of the table understand each other better though, & I very much enjoy helping the players where & when I can.
I'm well made up with your post, might just send it up to those pesky suits.
I think this is a great tourny, but as I have cashed in 4 out of 7 starts, I would wouldn't I. It is struggling with numbers, between 120 and 140 for £1,500 guarantee. Perhaps the guarantee will be cut, I hope not. The structure is good and perhaps the numbers could improve if it started earlier.
A suggestion. Change the start time to 7.45pm and move the 7.45pm £500 guarantee BH to 8.45pm. The 7.45pm BH bearly makes 50 anyway.

Payout Structures
Just want to conform the position on these now.
With the exceptions of.....
1) Bounty Hunters
2) The £220 Sky High Roller
ALL Sky Poker MTT's now pay 15% of the field.

The Min Cash in, say, last Sunday's £110 Roller was, for the record, about £160 I believe.

I'll ask the question & let you know.

Hi again Suzy,
Going forward, the PLo8 MTT's will pay 15% of the field, just as all other qualifying MTT's have recently started to do.
Thanks for the nudge.
RELOAD (Rebuy)
The Guarantee on this has been reduced to £1,000 with immediate effect.
Also, it will no longer run on a Friday, which is already well served by Rebuys.
Bounty Hunter @ 21.30
Guarantee reduced to £1,500 on Monday thro Thursday ONLY.
Guarantee remains at £2,000 Friday, Saturday & Sunday.
