    Was multi-tabling yesterday playing PL Omaha (4 tables) !!!!

    Was going on life tilt getting really wound up, i would finish in the top 3 & the game would take another 15 mins+ to finish sooooooooo annoying lol .

    Think the players have to take some of the blame though.......some of them are CLUELESS & just carry on playing as normal.....gggrrrrrrrrrrr :)

    I can't imagine why anyone would play DYM's to learn to play short handed poker.  The vast majority of players are going to be all in 3 handed or just sit out.

    If you want to play it down to a winner then you should really be playing SnG's instead.  There are 30p and £1 versions of those.

    I used to play a lot of DYMs but now find that everyone plays extremely tight early on and then they become a shovefest when the blinds start to count. Why not restructure them into a 321 format so that the winner gets 3 x the buy in the 2nd doubles up and 3rd just gets his money back. This would keep everyones interest and mean that everyone would want to play them out to the end???

    because then it wouldnt be a double your money tournament lol. that would be a normal sit and go which are available anyway. decent point though

    I know that a 321 format is not a DYM Tournament. However it would differ from a standard 6 Handed SNG in that if you finished 3rd you would get your money back. I think SKY Poker should consider introducing this format as an extension to DYMs and as stated earlier it would solve all the should we play to the end or not problems listed above.

     Hi Guys    PRESS the BUTTON  you want  "OUT"  This has got to be the answer dont sit out many other players enjoy the FUN of the last three and [as for] you wont learn anything as its shove feast this is not always correct in every instance. Like the chat box its there for fun and you can use it or not. I play poker to enjoy myself not for profit so no need for me to hurry up to the next grind. Dont want the Money brigade bulldosing through changes that suit them only. Annie x

    If Sky decide to change the format of the DYM's, they MUST include and take in account everyones views/ideas  before implementing any said changes.

    EXACTLY right

    Give those that want it a proper way to end it for them after the bubble bursts. Those that want to carry on for the fun and points can do so - it can sometimes lead on to an enjoyable risk free game.

    This would never be the case, i dont consider myself in the money brigade, far from it, and the sky suits will consider everyone's view before any changes are made. I just find it annoying that the tables have to continue when im trying to multi table, its as valid a point of view as yours, and i hope some compromise can be reached so that this does not upset anyone. The last thing i would want to do is ruin your fun Annie.

    I personally think its a good idea, bit late on the actual thread though but still voted

    Glad they are looking into these and if people want to play for the win then let them others can 'opt out' personally i go all in as soon as bubble has burst but annoying when you double up and if someones trying to actually play against you normally
