All very interesting lads, but what's it got to do with speed turbo bounty hunter rebuy satellites? post in technical queries Posted by oynutter
its got more todo with the title "Cardroom Changes" but, yes, the way the thread has gone it should be in technical queries. But, nothing i can do about that now.
It was'nt supposed to be a technical querie, just an observation.
Quick question, when you rebuy in a BH game, what happens to the rebuy money, does in go into the prize pool, get added to your head bounty or is it split between the two like the original buyin?

Hi Steve,
It will work in the same way as your initial buy in split 50/50. So lets say it's a £10 + £1 Rebuy BH (2k chips), when you rebuy:
2000 chips will be added to your stack £5 will add to your head value £5 will add to the cash prize pool*
Add ons may be available which will work in the same way, but adding 3000 chips.
The rebuy chip threshold may be 0, i.e. you can only rebuy when you are knocked out, or it may be when you dip below your starting stack as per current rebuy events. Some will have unlimited rebuys, where as others will be restricted to just 1 or 2 rebuys when you are reduced to 0 chips (dbl chance/triple chance)
The rules will be clearly displayed in the tournament lobby.
* If it's a guaranteed rebuy BH which has overlayed from it's initial buy-ins then this contribution will not be added to the prizepool until the guarantee is met.
As TK advised, these will start appearing in the tournament schedule this week,
Bounty Hunters are incredibly popular on Sky Poker, deep analysis of player stats have proven this conclusively. It is now possible to have Rebuy Bounty Hunters, & these will start being added to the Tournament Schedule over the next few days. If they prove popular, more & a wider variety will be added. If they don't, they won't...... Posted by Tikay10
The problem with this is that in a few weeks all the bh freezeouts that are so popular at the moment will be changed into rebuys,i.e. like velocity etc.

Hi Mr M,
Possibly, possibly not - it depends upon demand. If nobody plays Rebuy Bounty Hunters, then Sky Poker would be pretty daft to persist with them. If there is shown to be a demand, then they will.
No Room is going to offer a Product that nobody wants, & if the demand is there, then they'll offer them.
You not in Luton on Saturday, I see - try & make Leeds, OK?
I just hope that while Sky are testing the waters with turbo rebuy bounty hunters we dont lose any of our better tournaments.
On the equally important subject of player lists in lobbies: Before the start of a tournament they used to be listed in alphabetical order. Now if their name begins with an upper case letter they are listed alphabetically followed by the bulk of the lower case in random order. This applies whether viewed by chips or rank. It makes it difficult looking to see if a particular player is entered.
Another unforeseen change today: If I have the forum open when a game starts, the table is opened twice, once by the download and again by the browser. I had 4 tournaments and SNGs opening together and had tables everywhere !

Tony,
That's been answered elsewhere today - tech queries maybe? - but I'm PTP-ing right now, so no time to search for it. Will look it out later for you.

I think it's a terrible idea. Not for sky, that is understood. I quite like them when I'm in a slightly irritated (sky won't allow what i actually said) mood and have won quite a few. They are already a shovefest - the only thing that vaguely deters people is tourny exit. Zero poker mucho shovo and rebuyo.

Evening sir....its not that im against bh rebuys but if they do prove to be very popular (which imo they will be) is there a need to remove the freezeout bh's?,or is it the case that the rebuys will take numbers from the freezeouts.
No,i will be missing luton(thats two ive missed now ) but i will defo be at leeds.
hope you are well and have a good day on saturday. i will be following on the forum.

Hi again Dave,
Well phrased question.
I spoke to Adam about this earlier this evening, & here's the gist of what he told me.
1) He intends to slowly add some Rebuy Bounty Hunter Tourneys to the schedule where he feels appropriate. Standard BH's are very popular, & will remain so, & he has no desire to ruin that market, but he wants to keep adding a wider & more diverse range for players to choose from.
2) There will not be "turbo", or "1 minute roulette" versions of Rebuy BH's, given the format, it makes more sense to have a medium to deep structure to bring rebuys & add-ons into play.
3) They are there to add more variety to the "product range", all tourneys which currently, & continue to, perform well, will be retained.
He gave this much thought, it was widely discussed in the business, & they are hopeful that some will enjoy them, & it will continue the trend towards improving the range of products available.
You may or may not be aware, but BH's have never been my cup of tea, I don't suppose I've played 10 in all the time I've been here, but I certainly don't begrudge those who do enjoy them, & I'll deffo give the Rebuy versions a bash. The maths attached to them, in fact, is something that requires a bit of figuring out, as the implied odds are very different to "regular" Tourneys. The idea of having to apply some thinking to them appeals, n fact.
We shall see.
Shame you won't be at Luton, fella - see you in Leeds, then.

MMM, "proven this conclusively"---- I started a poll yesterday in which the top polled answer was that bounty hunters are popular because there is not much choice and they are often the only tournament availiable.
From 2.30am to 2.20pm there are 28 bounty hunters, 1 freezeout, and 1 deep stack
Is it a big surprise that bounty hunters appear to be popular?--- I suggest that bounty hunters are incredibly all over the fluppin tournie lobby, which gives the illusion that they are "incredibly popular", when in fact, people would much prefer to have more choice, and not 12 hours with only one proper freezeout tournament. INNIT!!
If you had 28 freezeout tournaments and one bounty hunter in the lobby, Tikay would say that deep analysis of player stats have proven conclusively that freezeouts are incredibly popular on sky poker!
Choice is what people are asking for, not more bounty hunters.

the fact that some of the evening bounty hunters attract more runners than the actual 8pm main events tells you they are pretty popular!?

The Lobby "sort" problem reported by SolidStan & others, earlier.
Adam has now sent me a note about it.
They have managed to replicate the bug, & you are correct, it needs a little "fix" to rectify it.
Not sure when it will be sorted (oops....), but hopefully, pretty quickly.
Apologies, & I hope it does not spoil the game too much in the interim.
Possibly, possibly not - it depends upon demand. If nobody plays Rebuy Bounty Hunters, then Sky Poker would be pretty daft to persist with them. If there is shown to be a demand, then they will.
