    Several times I've played with only 4 runners for the 2 seats, though only once this Summer.

    Post the lobby then.

    I usually know the players and they recognize what good value 2 seats for 4 players is.

    As is winning the lottery.
    It rarely if ever happens.


    .......and NO I don't agree to increase the numbers from 3 to 4 is pointless, when 2 seats are on offer, especially when you do actually get 4, the sat. goes ahead, you end up with only 7 players and you have 2 seats (as happened in the 5.15pm sat. on Sunday) ......MUCH BETTER :)

    That is one example.
    Yet many are cancelled.
    You have no proof that any of the players entered because of the extra seat, or whether they would have entered anyway, if there was a min three runners and only one seat guaranteed.

    This may have been purely because there were 15 runners in the 5pm.

    If a lot of the seats turn into flips them maybe Sky could have some “All In” sat’s to the Semi’s as well as the Main Sunday tournaments?

    Just a thought.

    I play my best poker in “All in” sat’s. Ask anyone.

    .........and after all this going on & on & on .....leave it as it is, 'coz the numbers will come back very soon, when the weather changes and the nights start 'drawing in' :)

    Just to repeat myself because it hasnt sunk in.
    I was merely asking the question which was,
    If the addition of an extra guaranteed seat results in a number of cancellations, at a particular time during the day, doesnt this defeat the purpose of doing it?
    The facts that support this are,
    Every week there are cancellations, where 3 runners are registered.


    Most people would probably accept that if there were less cancellations caused by a one seat guarantee, and three runners, that would be a good thing.
    Bearing in mind that the goal from Skys point of view is to attract five or more runners to avoid losing money.
    The overwhelming majority of the sats that start with three runners, end up with more than five.

    As I have said I have never, ever played one that has ended with four runners, and paid out 2 seats.
    You say you have, but cant find the proof, even if it does exist.
    Lets say you are telling the truth and it did happen once.
    What would that prove?
    How could something that happened once is proof that players see it as an incentive, when the other side of the coin is that this "incentive" causes cancellations every week.

    So lets try one more time.
    An incentive is causing sats to be cancelled every week, at certain times.

    In my defence that only happened because the point was not sinking in with Mr two short planks.

    Thankyou Mr two short.
    I bow to your superior knowledge, and am glad to have helped Sky solve a problem, that you didnt see as one.

    I am going now as you have worn me out Mr two short.
    Just one last question.
    If you ran a poker site where a particular tourney was cancelled week after week at particular times, due to being one runner short.
    Would you address the problem or merely continue to cancel them?

    Well 'the Team' at SKYPoker are far more knowledgeable than me (I think), and they haven't seen fit to alter it.

    Anyway Mr Hayes, it's your fault I am how I am....... you taught me well, and to never take NO for an answer. (incidentally an anagram of ON ..and ON and ON)

    ;):D

    Mr TOO Short :)
