Have to agree with dude, 2500 chips isn't quite enough for me personally but I have played the 1st 2 take on tikays and generally found the quality of play in them to be quite good. Not as good as the deepys, sleepys and orfordables but not far off. As for the other comments, I can understand Tikays point regarding the guarantee. As he said if the fields don't match the guarantee then Sky will lower the guarantee. We've all seen the threads about tournys that people enjoy having the guarantees cut. Cut guarantee = less players, vicious circle. On the other side why bother if there are more than the guarantee? Bounty on Tikay should remain, whether it be a tourny entry to a higher buy in game or a cash bounty. My suggestion would be to make it an added tourny with Sky adding maybe £200 to the prize pool this would add extra juice to the pot and remove the need for the guarantee or another suuggestion would be to give all final tablists (Maybe not a real word but I like it) seats to another tourny. This could be done on a numbers = higher buy in seats deal 0 - 100 Seats for next Take on Tikay 101 - 200 Seats for Sleepstack 201 - 300 Seats for the £22 BH tourny 301 + Seats for the Primo.

This would attract BIG numbers, can't see sky adding more at the moment until the number of entrants goes down drastically (if that ever happens) but the latter idea is a great one.
yeah value for money the 1st one attracted a big field because of the bountys u could get spt seat i think it was... but still a good torn imo, keep the bounty on tk tho and add a guarantee say £1000, im in anyways!!!
played last weeks tournie and managed 10th. best result ever for me. don't normally like the longer format but the structure is excellent and the people playing and contributing to the chat were brill. agree with tikay in that a guarantee is not needed, but would defo like to see a bounty on the old man's head. maybe, as some have said, a free entry to a larger tournie. will i be playing again? you bet, if my meager br holds out!!
I can understand the pros & cons of having a guarantee so I guess I'm kind of in middle ground here (not like to me to sit on the fence, eh?!).
Personally I think the main benefit of having a guarantee is that it definitely attracts some more casual players who are just loitering in the lobby looking for something to play & when you see a decent guarantee it makes it more attractive (even if it's been exceeded by the time you register). Also if the numbers remain then Sky ain't losing out.
I also like the idea of keeping the bounty but maybe whoever takes it can have a choice of a cash bounty or entry into something like the £22 deepie or even Primo?
I haven't had a shot at this yet mainly cos I'm usually up early on Saturdays so the idea of playing really late puts me off a little, but hopefully that'll all be changing in the near future so I'll be well up for having a go myself, particularly if the buy in remains the same. It looks awesome value for a fiver.
Well Done again Irish, you have mi support and will defo play when free, fridays are difficult for me at moment tho, structure looks similar to the dantb10 deepstack [but with less start chips, couple people made that point], which is always good, this buy-in obvs enabling more people to partake Great!!! Guess TK will stamp his ingenius mark on it tooo , so should be great fun!! Am in Prague this friday, so good luck, never kno, i may make mi fortune at the Golden Lion in the Prague Hilton, if so drinks on me at Swansea, tho got to find time to try to qualify, lol!! Some luck & Form may help too!!!!!!!!
missed the last couple,so ill play when i can guarantee or no guarantee i mean how good can it get,a deepstack well not really a deepie but a tourney with plenty of play with a large field mouthwatering
nice to see some old faces from the 8.15 deepstack. seems like the fields have been big enough to create a huge prize fund. lets not worry about an gaurnatee we have all seen what happens once the field drops off with the mentioned tournament.
i personal thought some of the old faces had graduate to other sites might have to drop by this one to lock horns again but usually hate friday tournaments - 'you cant bluff a donk'
