Lack of players on S&G's

I have been with Sky for a couple of months now but have been playing live and online for years.

I am amazed at the lack of people that play S&G's (not DYM).

You can never get a game with a buyin of over £10.

They are very popular on other sites so why the lack of interest on Sky?

If anyone can shed any light as to why this is, I would appreciate it.

    personally i prefer the dyms because they only take 2 mins to fill up and the game is over in 40 mins, i'm guessing thats why they are far more popular than a standard s&g.

    Thats why i rarely bother with a normal s&g.

    There is the same mix on other sites but they are still very popular on all apart from sky.

    It is probably due to the very low numbers of traffic compared to the other sites and alot of the low stake/fun players on here seem to play the b/h tournys xxx

    Poor selection of s&g's at lowest levels where players start so stick to what they know moving up.

    All very good points.

    I'd love to see the higher limit STTs have more traffic but even I have stopped looking for action here.  I think the fact that this site is focused on 6-max hurts the STT.  Even on huge sites in my experience the 9 seaters are more popular than the 6-max.

    Also I've noticed a decline in STT across the board.  I sometimes have to wait 30 mins for a $55 dollar game to fill on another MASSIVE site, that never used to happen any time of day.  As this site is smaller the effects are more pronounced in my opinion.

    If anyone wants to schedule some games to try and give it a shot in the arm, let me know.
