In Response to Re: Are you A Survivor, or THE Survivor? : Give them time, they never fail! But it matters not, a quid a go, no reg fee, a £2,500 Guarantee no matter what, PLUS Added Value. What's not to like? I think this'll be terrific fun. Will the TKP Crew try & dominate it? Or the DTD Boys? What about the aggro regs, the Hursty's, & the Dohhh's? Even the dreaded Solack? My tip to do well? I'd watch out for the wily old veterans, the Dollies & the Direwolf's. Posted by Tikay10
The answer to that is an emphatic YES................ ;-)
Sounds a really exciting and fun format which i look forward to taking part in!
In Response to Re: Are you A Survivor, or THE Survivor? : If so possible 12,000 runners = £12,000 prize pool £3,215?That would mean 74% rake. Posted by belsibub
You've whooshed me completely there, & I'm sure you are just joking, but in case someone else also gets whooshed by it, let me clarify......
The MINIMUM Prize Pool is GUARANTEED at £2,500.
There is no Reg Fee.
100% of EVERY £1 ENTRY WILL GO INTO THE PRIZE POOL.
So.....
1,000 runners in total = £2,500 GUARANTEED CASH PRIZES (+ added value prizes)
2,000 runners in total = £2,500 GUARANTEED CASH PRIZES (+ added value prizes)
2,500 runners in total = £2,500 GUARANTEED CASH PRIZES (+ added value prizes)
3,000 runners in total = £3,000 GUARANTEED CASH PRIZES (+ added value prizes)
5,000 runners in total = £5,000 GUARANTEED CASH PRIZES (+ added value prizes)
12,000 runners in total = £12,000 GUARANTEED CASH PRIZES (+ added value prizes)
There is NIL RAKE, NIL Reg Fee.
In ADDITION to the Cash Prizes, the Added Value Prizes - SPT & Primo Seats etc - will be ON TOP of the total Prize Pool.
Talking of primo's, TK have u managed to read my pm? getting towards the end of the week now and u may/may not be around tomorrow or saturday to contact CC for me........

I thought prize pool fixed not add-on if it goes over(added value of seats to prize pool for total)

Yup, I sent it up to Head Office, should have an answer today.
I will be around on both Saturday & Sunday though, as I'm doing both Shows.

No.
The figures I quoted at the very start of the thread are the MINIMUM GUARANTEED PRIZES if it FAILS to exceed 2,500 runners. It's just the "Guarantee".
Every single entry fee of £1 goes into the Prize Pool, so if 3,000 runners, £3,000, 5,000 runners, £5,000, 10,000 runners, £10,000.
Let's hypothesise 5,000 runners, the Prize Pool would be £5,000, split as follows.....
1st - £2,000
2nd - £1,200
3rd - £800
4th - £500
5th - £300
6th - £200
PLUS the ADDED VALUE prizes.
They cannot advertise a hypothetical £10,000 Prize Pool, that would be misleading, so the "minimum" figures quoted at the start of the thread are based upon the GUARANTEED Prize Pool, which will be paid even if there were only a handful of runners.
In Response to Re: Are you A Survivor, or THE Survivor? : But there are other supermarkets that are out there we are sure will give just as good value for your money! Posted by a00rock
well if you need to look for better value than netto then this might be out of your price range lol. Its my favorite cheap shop.
Great idea skypoker team, will have to get involved in this one and the site might just win me back.
Is there any chance one of these could be run in an afternoon, say the Thursday game? There tends to be a completely different crowd in the day from the evenings.
And on a personal level, I could commit to six Thursday or Friday afternoons but not 6 evenings. There must be others in the same boat.
In Response to Re: Are you A Survivor, or THE Survivor? : The games SHOULD (fingers xx'd!) appear in the Lobby starting this afternoon, with the very first "Series" due to start tomorrow, Friday. Don't know about a "cap", but the projected numbers will be well south of that I think. Hard to put a number on it, but at a quid a go, & no reg fee, 500, 600, 700 ought to be possible for each Series? I'll be "working it" on FB & Twitter, too, & on tonight's Show. I would be extremely surprised if it even got near to half of the standard 2,000 cap. Pleasantly surprised, but surprised. Posted by Tikay10
Thanks tikay, Friday, Saturday & Sundays games are in the lobby now and the cap is 1500. The only reason I asked about the cap is I expect a lot of interest in these games with such a low buy in and no rake.

For "Series #1", no, I'm afraid not, but it could be considered for future variants.
I fully understand your angst & frustration, I do.
But it's really kinda awkward. For them to work, they need to run at peak hours, & peak hours will always be mid-evening.
But I'll word them to try & do something in the future which suits the "afternoon" peeps. Try wearing Sky Poker's shoes though - imagine the noise from the "peak-time players" (by default, the vast majority) if they ran them in the afternoons!
Not an easy one to answer, but that's the line, I think.
*PLEASE NOTE FOLKS* The final of this is scheduled for the 7th May . This is also the date of the SPT at Leeds, afaik. It would be a shame if after weeks of grinding people could not play in the final. Posted by MAXALLY
Fair comment, Alan.
I would think the likely "crossover" between those who play this, & the 150 or so SPT regulars, is fairly marginal, though. And even then, "several thousand" (we hope!) will enter Survivor, & only 6 will remain by Grand Final Day. Not sure what the odds of a clash are, but pretty thin I'd think.
IF it happened, we'd find a work-round, please be assured.
I will deffo be up for a few of these and I would imagine the DTD'ers will be going through to the grand final.
I suppose one of those TeamKnightPlops could luckbox their way through. Acually I think there are 5 TeamKnightPlops that are also DTD'ers so it will be interesting to see which side of the fence they will be on.
Looking forward to it already.....................Thanks Sky.
I think the 6 finalists should be invited into the studio to conclude the tournament on the new studio poker table and this can then obviously be aired on 865...
I know you said you will always get moaners, but i do have just one small suggestion, next time (if there is a next time) maybe there could be a bit more notice between the launch and the start. This is not for my benefit, im entered anyway but i reckon because its enter the 1st week only and no other week, it would be more beneficial to skypoker to give every chance for people to notice this competition to maximise numbers?
So now you need to consider "tactics", & "strategy". In effect, in weeks 1 to 4 inclusive, you ONLY have to survive half the field. That's it, you get nothing extra if (assuming, say, 500 runners week 1) for finishing 1st, or 250th. But it all changes in week 5, when you are "only" playing for SIX spots. And in week 6, each "series" is now trying to win a SNG. And in week 7, everyone is trying to win, but ALL Week 7 Finalists will get something. And don't forget, there are SIX chances to make that Final. A quid a pop, no Reg Fee. Even Mr & Mrs Minnie can't complain at that. Can they?...... Posted by Tikay10
