Live Sit n Go

edited January 2011 in Poker Chat
I remember watching Sky Sports last year and seeing a poker show sponsored by a reputable poker site.  The format was a sit n go filled with 9 amateur players who had satellited in.  I was wondering if there was any scope for doing something similar on 865?  You could run satellites for a couple of months and then get the 9 qualifiers to come into the studio for a live show, or just make a 1 hour highlights show.  You could also show it on sky sports 4.  Is there any scope for this or am I being dillusional this morning?

    It's quite an interesting concept Mr W, though Studio constraints mean it could deffo not be a 9 Seater. If you think about a 9 seater Table, & the need for the cameras to be able to get a full-on view of all 9, plus GV's, overhead shots, etc, it's technically something that would be pretty tough within a standard studio. But the bones of the idea are excellent, & I'll pass it on to Mother. Thanks.

    PS - No, it was not "dillusional". Or even Delusional......

    PS - MOST unlike you to Post with a spelling error!

    Seems fair enough to me.

    I do not "pick people up" on bad spelling, but it stuck out like a sore thumb, as your Posts are always so well presented. These things are noticed!

    I think that the blind structure of the final table should start at 10/20 with a 3000 stack with 21 hands a level.  For a 10 handed final table you could have a £1000 buy in and a payout structure that goes 1st - £5000, 2nd - £3000, 3rd - £2000.

    The satellites could go on for 10 weeks prior, where-by we have a final £110 satellie every Sunday with the winner progressing to the final table and the other top 10% of the field winning cash.  Obviously there would need to be a cap on the number of players in these satellites so that 2nd place could not be worth more that £1000.

    Quick update.

    There is a Meet scheduled for this Friday to discuss a number of 865 based new initiatives, & this one is amongst those on the Agenda.

    If it happened......it would, for technical reasons, be a SIX Seater.

    As to using DTD's hole card facility - no need. We have that, & better - much better - as part of "something new" which is being installed in the Studio within the next few weeks. I  can't take questions on that right now, but more news soon.

    This makes sense given that most Sky players are more proficient with 6-max.  I suppose then that the payout structure would go something more like 1st - £4000, 2nd - £2000. The other way to go be to pay all the field as it's a final table.  Something like 1st- £2000, 2nd- £1000, 3rd- £800, 4th- £600, 5th- £400, 6th- £200.
