    Sky tried more plo8 bounty hunter games in the past but they struggled to hit the guarantee not sure they would try it again.

    We had a £11 plo8 bounty hunter at 21:15 that struggled sky changed it to a £5.50 at 20:30 that also struggled. Also had a £33 plo8 bounter hunter every Sunday but that was also axed due to low numbers.

    A league For PLO8 Bounty Hunter MTT's?

    Remind me please @lfccarl , I'm struggling to remember that.

    Don't have any objections to anyone running Leagues for anything, & if there's enough demand, I'm sure I can persuade Sky Poker to come up with a few prizes.

    I can't assist with adding MTT's to the schedule though, that's way above my pay grade, and as @safc71 said, it was tried before but there was no significant demand & it just ended up costing Sky Poker money via overlay.

    Ahh yes, you are right I think. Think he ran it & won it. ;)

    I'll try & look it up tomorrow, to see if there is anything we can do.

    Always happy to support Community-run Comps & leagues, as you know, but they have to wash their face.

    Where is he these days? Are you still in touch with him? He was a top man, I assume he is busy with his job.

    If I remember correctly, despite Markycash's efforts I'm pretty sure that many of the BH's still struggled.

    Yes, they struggled badly, & Sky lost a good few bob on them. Not for lack of effort on anyone's part though.

    I still exchange e-Mails with him from time to time though. Top, top, bloke, but real-life got in the way of poker. He's doing just great though, that's the main thing.

    I don't think they were Bounty Hunters, they were just regular PLO8 MTT's.

    If you can find enough runners, (at least as many as last time) & someone to run it, I'll try & find a few little prizes.

    I would love this to run again. They were definitely Bounty Hunters-nice try.

    The weekly £22 PLO8 never really took off. Perhaps a daily £11 PLO8BH, around 20:15 or 20:45, with a £300 guarantee, might work? The league could be a weekly for 2 MTTs, a £3.30/5.50 or a £5.50/11.

    Would love to see some more PLO8 on here.

    They were BH's? Fair enough.

    If someone wants to run it daily, & can round up enough runners, I'll try & find a few little prizes.

    It needs "sensible" numbers though, & someone prepared to Update it every day. I can't currently commit the time to it I'm sorry to say.

    The Thursday league was 2x£1 games,1x£2 game & 1x£5 game.
    None of them were BH's which made them proper games.

    As i recall there were two plo8 leagues when i first joined Sky poker there was :-

    1) FOSP night (friends of sky poker) that was run by @churchy18 on Thursday nights that was a non bounty hunter mtt league just as @eon1961 has stated.

    2)Then @markycash set up a plo8 bounty hunter league you got points for making the final table on the 19:15 and the 20:30 games. I loved that format had some great battles with @Catsnap @pomfrittes @tomgoodun @Enut and many of the plo8 regulars.

    Does this request have anything to do with you telling me you picked up 22 head prizes in one the other day? :smiley:
