edited October 2010 in Poker Chat

There are a whole raft of changes on their way, this & that, new bells & whistles, so I'll work through them one at a time, starting with the Main Events.

Starting NEXT MONDAY, November 1st, the Main Event schedule of Buy-Ins, Guarantees, & Clocks, will be as follows......

Monday; £22 Bounty Hunter, Guarantee £6,000, Clock 12 minutes.

Tuesday; £22 Open, NLH, Guarantee £5,000, Clock 12 minutes.

Wednesday; £22 Double Stack, Guarantee £4,000, Clock 12 minutes.

Thursday; Sky Sports Bounty Hunter, £33, Guarantee £15,000, Clock 10 minutes.  (The Monthly Sky Sports £220 jobbie will still run, afaik).

Friday; £11 Rebuy Open, Guarantee £6,000, Clock 12 minutes.

Saturday; £22 Open, NLH, Guarantee £6,000, Clock 12 minutes.

Sunday; £55 Primo, Guarantee £15,000, Clock 15 minutes.

    Orford gets to work with a bevvy of hot female analysts whilst Tikay is 'relocated' to another night.




    Looks pretty official that. Wonder if I can get it through...?

    Nice to see that the overwhelming response to make the main events a 9pm start were listened to. The rest is cool by me. Shame we can't have a decent TV show any more.

    8pm is a better start time for the ME imo especially with slower blind structures. And I think the TV shows covering the featured tournies have improved a lot fwiw.

    +1 to all that!!

    I like the look of it, nice 1. For the ME on sky these look like better value and better structured with clock increase :)

    Obviously a bit steep for a lot of players to BI outright but no doubt the sats will be having a good old bashing :)

    +1 ... The "Open" was always asked to be 10 mins and an 8pm start, now its gone to 12 mins thats even better, and to then move it forward an hour wud be ludicrous

    I cannot deal with the feedback tonight, but I will tomorrow.

    Please DO NOT assume that there is not something for everyone. This is only the start, there is more news to follow.
