I think the odds of me getting a hole in one are closer to 1 in 9 million. The odds on getting two holes in one are, err, how many atoms are there in the observable universe - to 1.

Dohhhhhhh's point is a good one and he's correct in saying that the guarantees affect the likely number of entrants. A 6k guarantee that has a pool of 12k would probably have had a pool well in excess of that figure had the guarantee been more realistic. As far as the numbers of players on Sky it is down due to seasonal variances, which all sites suffer at this time. I think there are more problems than just that though and there certainly seems to have been an exodus of regulars over recent months. I have my own thoughts on that score but I'll keep them as just that, my own thoughts. Posted by elsadog
Exodus of players ?.. Well yes maybe to a large degree, however also as previously said in this post, 'World Cup' and Summer season would have made a difference as all poker sites will decrease during those times ....
However, what seems strange to me about Skypoker is, with all that it has going for it , with the likes of 865 TV Live forum Free competitions .... Something just does not add up ?? ...... Every Sunday I watch the TV for the PRIMO event and you hear the presenter saying we have 30 or 40 or so NEW players here tonight, and this happens every Sunday !! So on that basis with all that this site is offering, WHY are players leaving, that event should be sold out well before the start time ..... OR are people just playing the once or twice and then thinking it's not for them, and if so WHY !!
I dont have the answers but I believe a fresh look at what SkyPoker offers it's customers needs to be looked at and probably a down-loadable software would solve most players concerns ..
Love your posts Mr elsadog always honest and construtive .. thank you ...

Welcome to the forum Batman
I think the answer to your question as to why people don;t play in the Primo every week is Bankroll Management, at least I know it is in my case lol. IF I can afford to then I buy straight in but if not I try the satellite route, if that fails then I simply don't play.
With regards to the downloadable software, Sky Rich on another thread has said it IS coming but they want to make sure its completely right before releasing it.
Regarding lower numbers in the Primo Tournament. I think that one of the problems is that it takes too long to satellite into the tournament. I cant understand why Primo Direct Satellites with usually only around 12 to 15 runners are a 5 minute blind structure whilst the Primo SEMI Final Satellite with usually 80 plus runners is a 10 minute blind structure, this tournament regularly takes 2 hours for qualification. You then get approx one hour break and are then straight into the primo proper if you play both on a Sunday, another 4 hours of play if you run deep.
I think there should be a fast track way to qualify. How about a 6 handed DYM structure SNG where you pay £12 to enter and top 2 qualify. This would take around 35 minutes? I think these would be popular, what does everyone else think?
