    Check out the 7.00 deepstacks during the week, several of those are in that pricerange, even if you can't sit down till 7.30 you will still have a very playable stack

    hi tikay this thread must be one of the most answered on sky but as yet i dont see too much being done exept for a load more people giving this answer which is yes by nearly all the only change so far tikay is the swap of the offordables from sun to sat and we will see if this picks up the entries tonight i for 1 will wait and see if the numbers go up in about 20 mins as theres no way im going to enter when the numbers are like last two sat  nights so tikay could you let the forum know if theres going to be any more 10 seaters or not im sure thres been enough feedback by now thanks paparon

    yes to more deepies from  £3-5 quid £11 pound is a bit steep if you are playing most of the day , and if u go out pritty quick which happens to all now and then it can be quite dear , ie i try to keep to £15-20 pound a day , but when u are on a bad run it can be quite expensive.

    Hi Pap.

    Can you summarise what the thread is about please?

    You want MORE 10 seater Deepstacks? Or the same amount, but "more affordable" (cheaper)? Less £11 ones, more £3 & £5 ones? 

    I think - not sure - you are suggesting that the nightly 7pm Deepies should ll be £3 or £5, except, (because you told me so in a PM) the Wednesday night tikay Sleepstack.

    Please confirm, & then I will, as I promised, try to see if it can be sorted out.

    Tikay, think Papa was lookign for the buy in to be decreased, remembering reading his poll post last weekend.  Think this should be the link

    I'm sure Papa will get back to you, oh and congrats on the your win last night.  Showing Lord Smirk who is the real deal ;)

    Thanks Ross. I'll have a read of the Thread, then see if I can help.

    Pap has written to me about it, 4 or 5 times, & I said I'd try to help. I just want to make sure I have my facts right before I get to work - detail is key - & I was not 100% sure of the precise request.

    If there is a good commercial case for changing it, as has been suggested, I promise you this - we can get it changed. ("We" being the players). Buit it's all about preparing & Presenting the case properly. Pap asked me to help, & I will, but I'm a bit OCD about knowing the detail.

    No worries, Tikay.  In my line of work, you should never assume anything, so agree with you 100% about getting the facts right.  Cheers

    Pap - you asked me, repeatedly, to sort something, & I'm doing exactly that, in the manner I said I would.

    There are currently two 10 Seater, "affordable"  Deepies on Sky Poker every week. There is the Mick Jenn, (5 + £0.50) every Monday or Tuesday, & the tikay Sleepie every Wednesday, which is £10 + £1. Both of them get tidy fields - between them, they aggregate about 200 players each week - and personally, I love these. I csn get 3 or 4 hours play most nights, it's usually 8 or 10 spots paid, & as far as I'm concerned, they are as good as it gets for "regular" Tourneys. I'm Online tonight, & really quite disappointed that we don't have one of these tonight - I'll miss it. But if we ask for it, & if enough players want it, we COULD have these nightly - starting almost immediately. IF YOU WANT THEM........ So if you DO want them just post on this Thread, all you have to do is say this. Yes. And what entry fee you'd prefer. Say, £5 + £0.50, or £10 + £1. Like this......

    yes i think 1 a night would be good with a larger 1 on the sunday starting at 6.00pm with 15 min blinds 10000 chips and a maximum of 2000 players at a buy in of £50. Qualifiers should run all week 1 in 10 qualifying.

    Im not sure Tikay .... your asking the right question..... the question should be .....

    Sould Sky torneys be standard 10 seaters and lets have a few 6 seater torneys for those who like that format

    I play poker every day .... i have over 30 poker sites on my lap top and play on most of them from time to time .... but why is sky the only site to make 99% of its tables and torneys 6 seater. I HATE IT ! and thats why i very rarely play here...... what does sky know about poker torneys that the other 100+ poker sites that i have played on dont?

    change them all to 10 seater in my opinion
