........Why have the guarantees recently been assessed/changed, yet the one decent tourny which runs through the day, the 3pm NLHE, has been left at 100 gtd?

This tourny ALWAYS hits at least double that.....

Why has this been left at 100? - There have been loads of forum threads about this, with people pleading with the decision makers to put it back to £250 gtd....(it was changed to 100 before the numbers even dropped)


......you have a meeting about it, or whatever, yet chose to leave it as it is!!

WHY???

Please can everyone yet again comment here asking them to change it, again. :(

    Yeh, its the only decent daytime tourney, I just don't play it now because the GTD doesnt attract enough runners and its dead on its bum

    Sky need to look at the tournies on the whole site.  I would play an afternoon tournie if it was a decent GTD;  I imagine a lot of others are the same.

    The guarantee has been doubled to £200 effective immediately, this will run all 7 days per week until further notice.

    The traffic in this tournament actually varies considerably, last Monday - Wednesday it had 21, 28, 29 runners and peaked at 43 on the Friday.

    We'll see how it does for a week or 2 and I'll happily move this up further if it performs well.

    Kind Regards

    Adam

    So last monday it had 21 runners.

    Increase the guarentee, and we set off today with moe than 3 times that!

    68 runners, and a £340 prizepool!!

    Lets hope this is a sign of things to come in this tourny and other popular ones on sky!

    GL ALL ! :)

    97.5% of the time i'm quite a reasonable person to get on with but there is that 2.5% of me where its best not to rub me up the wrong way. I blame probably watching Lancashire win naff all for over 11 years haha lol!

    JJ, total credit to you Sir for getting the guarenteed up on this tourney and long may the great turn-outs continue!........ :-)

    51 runners today, again, comfortably beating the guarantee.

    Im not in, which will explain the slight dip, as theres not as much value for the other guys, but I'll be back tomorro.

    Heads spinning today :S

    gud luk all !! Keep coming back !!!
