    I mean I almost made a thread on a similiar topic previously Sky pokers game variants offerings and bonuses were not very competitive at all.

    However after seeing many other sites crack down on the rewards programs and change the structure Sky poker has actually gone been not very competitive to the one of the most competitive if not the most competitive site I know of in this area.

    You dont want to push for new because those running the poker sites see new as worse for the players better for them.

    @Doubleme , I agree totally it is slim pickings in general!! sadly sky caters for two audiences'! those who like bounties, and those who prefer sleep over a decent game of poker!

    I go through stages with the mini major, but then, if it were a 10k game (double all blinds), the structure would be awful. So I simply stopped playing it! The fact is, in the 11-33 zone, there is not a single game that appeals to me or any of my friends! SO we did the only logical thing, we started playing elsewhere. (we all played poker, we played even in summer, just not here)

    The Sunday Major is fantastic, but it just is not in my regular price range!
    it is a shame, because it is pretty slim pickings in general nowadays!! but on every other site is at worst 2 or 3 games a day that have appeal! (on some it is only 1 game a week.)

    I mean even mystery bounty , where nobody has a bounty till 3hrs into the tournament has its appeal.

    It is what it is, Sky poker simply decided people like me were too small in number to even give consideration too. we no longer play here, and it is of irrelevance to them. every other site manages it, but not here! which is a big shame, because it will always be the closest site to feeling like poker!!

    10k start!!
    1hr bb 160
    2hr bb600
    3hr bb 1600-1800-2000

    10 to play - aim 250-350 players
    20 to play aim 250-350 players
    25 to play same
    33 to play same

    if you like that type of game, you play the Sunday major, or you do not play here.
    The absolute crazy thing is, some sites that do offering those games get 1250-1500 players in one game, which is too many.
    so it is no game, or half the site. madness

    maybe one day, a game like will be here again. and i will keep checking in in hope.

    You know I often imagine that poker sites have statistics guys and economist guys coming up with trends and statistics based on big data in order to make as much money as possible. I assume that what I think they should do or my thoughts are invalid as I am not informed with the data they have and as counter intuitive as it may seem to me there decisions are correct based on the data.

    Then I see the sheer and utter shambles that Party have made with their changes and what it has done to their numbers, one wonders if they had statiticians at all were they listened to or did they just have arrogant ceos who thought they knew better anyway? or were there stats guys on some form of acid or suffering from dyscalculia.

    Generally though just find the site and games that work for you.

    I cant comment on what data is used or how sky poker make their decisions but their is profit opportunity for those good enough or willing to work hard enough here.
