As many of you know, @NChanning recently started a thread to sound out opinions about a new PLO8 &/or PLO MTT.

Well it seems the Suits have ears, as two new MTT's have been added to the schedule by @Sky__James;

£10 + £1 entry £400 Guaranteed PLO8 Bounty Hunter, with the option of a single rebuy.

The PLO8 version will run once a week on Thursdays (starting tonight) at 20.18

The lobby states;


This is £400 Gtd PLO Hi-Lo tournament. Buy ins are split equally between the prize pool and player bounties. If you win a bounty you keep 75% with 25% added to your own head value. 1 Rebuy Available if you bust during the first 5 levels.


Here's a link to the lobby;

    A PLO (i.e., High Only) version will run on Saturdays at the same time, 20.18.

    This is an experiment, or trial.

    Nothing is cast in stone, the guarantee &/or buy-in could change, it could run more frequently, it could become PLO8 or PLO twice or more per week, or even nightly, it all depends how well it is received & how it performs.

    Over to you.

    BREAKING NEWS



    (Pretend you can hear dramatic breaking news music).


    @NChanning plans to play tonight's new PLO8 MTT at 8.18pm.

    The player who busts him will win free entry to Saturday's PLO version.

    I'll be there, looking forward to it. I wonder how many players it will get. I'm going to guess at 50. Is that a good guess?

    Looking forward to seeing some fresh faces in the PLO8 tonight, hope people get behind it.

    Just to clarify what's happening....


    The new PLO8 Bounty Hunter will run every Thursday @ 8.18pm until further notice.

    The new PLO Bounty Hunter will run every Saturday @ 8.18pm until further notice.



    Both of them are £11 entry with the option if a single rebuy if you bust in the first 5 levels.


    If they perform badly, they'll likely be binned.

    If they perform well they may run more often, or have an increased Guarantee, or even both.

    What do you reckon Tikay? 50 and under or 51 and over?
  • skicowboysskicowboys Member Posts: 162
    It's a slow burn, a massive 18 as i write. i think you'll get the numbers fine, whether you keep them over the weeks or the other games get cannibalised as a result are the dangers, but i'm sure you know that. I suspect there are some regs who don't know and the casuals almost certainly don't, it was word of mouth at lunchtime that i found out. Sadly this is the only day of the week that i have some semblance of a life. Firstly well done for getting this off the ground, finally a re-buy tourney, i think especially to start £11 rebuy maybe too high for some of the guys (unless Neil has a lot of PLO8 friends), so even if this doesn't work or you're looking to expand on different nights maybe try £5.50 at half the guarantee as this might still be popular. Good luck to everyone tonight i hope this is a big success.

    I'll have to take the Unders Neil. Happy to be proven wrong though.
