more sats please?

Spike4000

I am not sure if anyone else has found this but it feels like there is a lack of proper sats ( not all ins ) on an evening. if you log on at around 8 there is nothing but all ins on the sats page. i wonder if sky could consider adding sit and go sats so that they do not start until they've made their guarantees so that there is no loss for sky. i enjoy playing the sats as they give players like me that do not enter high buy in games a chance to play in a big game. I remember when there used to be proper sats for the sheriff and the quickdraw but they no longer made there guarantees so were removed. if sit and go sats were introduced it would eliminate that risk for sky.
This is just an idea but it would be great if something came of it. Thankyou

The main problem sats don't run, is the players.

Often they are cancelled due to lack of participants as most obviously don't value these as much as others..

That said i am unsure whether there is anyone at Sky Poker that can make decisions like this even to run as a trail.

The recent SPT sats for example all 3 of the micro has have been cancelled in 9 of the 11 days with only 1 running on the other 2 days. This was the same for the Glasgow SPT and lessons are not learned. £1.05 + £0.15 all in sats into the Quarter paying 1 in 10 would be a great option more players would be inclined to sign up for these but Sky seem happy to pay the overlay on quarter and semi seats rather than get more players into the quarter.

As for evening sats giving players the opportunity to satellite into the following days main after 9pm seems like a no brainer as some do not start early enough to play them 'on the day' but would like the opportunity to try.

I guess its all about figures and statistics but as you say pay 1 in 5 and set the minimum entries to 5 and trying it would cause no harm, although i don't know how much it costs to run a game. but they do run £0.28 Turbo DYMs.

Maybe the truth is they do not like to run sats whilst they offer value to some it could hurt the top line in the process if players play these and not the bigger guarantee games.
