Sunday Showdown sng's

As the focus is on getting as many players into the Sunday biggie tourney could Sky please introduce sng satelittes into it?  It could be done with a 6 seater £20 + £2 sng where the winner gains entry and the runner up gets their £20 back. It could even be stretched to 10 seater £10 + £1 sng tables where the winner gains entry. If its set up in the sng area rather than mtt area so players can register whenever without a starting time restriction it may well generate more attempts. What do you reckon?

    I obv' cant take part due to BRM rules, but this seems logical mate. I agree with your idea.

    This would be far the best way to do this, as the semi semis seema  bit of a faf.

    That said the actual semi could be a good event as long as it gets a lot of runners...for instance 1/5 gaining entry from say 40 runners you have a far better shot than a 1/6.

    Hi Daz'... BRM = Bank Roll Management. Means I can not enter a sat' or a Mtt unless the fee is 2% or less of my roll. £10/£20 would mean i need a roll of £500/£1000 respectively. Let me assure you, I do not have that roll lol :)

    Hi,

    Phil, thanks for your post - Le'ts give it a go and see if there is any take up of your idea - There are a couple of S&G's in the lobby now, £22 to enter, first wins a seat in the £2k DS, with the second getting £22 back.

    I've also not charged any fees to help start these off...

    best of luck,

    Bernie

    Was an unlucky hand Phil...A7 vs A3 SB/BB...A3 is gonna be good there loads and to rub salt into the wound I flop a monster.

    Just took it down for my entry into the £110 deepie, many thanks for bringing this up Phil :)

    And I'll probably play you in some next week I imagine.

    Hope you get your seat in the next one you play sir
