Anyone know why the max buy-in has been reduced to half, on the 10nl tables? Was £20 now £10

Cheers

    Yeah +1 this is ridiculous, can sky sort it out please and put it back to how it was.


    This move just attracts short stackers, and makes it a lottery, whereas before it was a proper, skilled, deep-stacked game.


    Can someone send this upstairs asap plz.

    It was debated at length - good debate it was, too - HERE

    There are pros & cons to either way, in truth.

    Those that were unhappy are happy now, those that were happy "as was" are now unhappy.

    I can see both sides of the case.

    Tricky one.

    Lol.

    Mac - it's been corrected so the max buy-in is 100bb like all the other cash tables.

    Please ignore this if you were just joking like Doh.

    It already had been, Dohhh, hence the change, I guess!

    Could be a good debate, this!

    It is now in line with all other levels 100 bb max.But would have thought deep stack tables would have been provided for those who want them as other levels have.

    Yah I best say for the record what I was only joking :D

    Would like to see some tables with a higher min buy in though.

    That way all the good players will get excited and cue up for them while I play against all the fish :)

    Imo it is better now its 100bb max buyin as it keeps inline with all other levels of cash.

    They should keep one deepstack table though.

    Another thing is there was a 20nl deepstack table but now it has gone!

    why?

    this was the only level on this site that had 200bb deep as standard ,a lot of us wanted this reduced to 100bb ,to fall in line with the rest of the site ,,,,,,,this now has been sorted ,and big thank you to tikay for sorting it out ,,,,,,,,,,,ty mr kendall ,,,,with regards to players wanting 200bb deep ,maybe a couple of tables at this level ,the same as the other levels ,would be good for the players that want it ,,,,,,also on that paticulur thread a ,number of players mentioned the min buy-in ,needed to be looked at ,some top players from high stakes .....i also think the min buy-in is too low ,but we will save that for another day ,i dont want to pester people too much :)    im very happy with the change ,thanks again ,,,,TEN

    Missed the whole debate for this, so sorry if only just catching up.  Not sure about the reasoning on why it needed to be reduced, seems odd if it was only to bring in line with other levels. I cant see the original buy-in levels putting anyone off from playing 10nl, regardless of £4 min or £20 max.

    I'm sure we'll get used to it, although imo, value and incentive to play this level may have been lost. Time will tell.

    Sky have allowed you to to play 5/10 nl when you can buy in for 200bbs for ages now.

    It appears a forum debate/poll has made sky choose to stop all the 200 bb tables.

    Could sky not have just put up tables where 100bbs was max and also left some tables where 200bbs was allowed and took it from there if there was no traffic on the 200 bb ones?

    Not every one reads the forum so seems an unfair (in my opinion)
