Sky isn't so bad you know

elsadog

Hi all, I've had a few days off the poker (not been too well....all say Awww!) and there were some lag issues anyway with the site so I had a rest. Anyway, last night I decided to have a game of proper bingo on another site in a mega $3 rebuy $50k mtt. It was a mega field of over 7000 runners and final pool of $70k 'ish. I played very well by my standards and after avoiding bad beats like you wouldn't believe for nearly 7 hours I finally got taken out with, I think, just over a hundred players left. My rewards for 7 hrs hard graft was $96 or about £10 an hour.

There's been a fair bit of moaning about Sky recently but you know something......it's not half bad, in fact it's very good. I'll be in something on Sky tonight, I couldn't face another marathon.

 "Ain't that the truth" ..  nice one Elsa,   to be honest yes I love those marathon LIVE games but  online ...forget it !!

It depends on someones life style as to what they like in the way of online tournaments, but  3 hrs suits me fine..

well done on cashing   )

I totally agree. The fact that you can play a 600 player tournament in under 3hrs is the reason i play here. I don't have the patience or time for 8hr tournys.

A good point there, however if you had ran deeper the rewards of a 7k runner tournie woulda been clear

But I think that the Sky tournies are in general very well structured.  I too have little patience and find the length of the Open/Primo perfect.

However when I want to try and take a shot at the big moniez I load up 'stars cos their tournies are good too

Sky has a very unique corner in the market, and should play to its strengths.

Yes the time scales and structures on Sky are about right in my opinion. For someone younger and fitter than me the marathon mtt's are ok, but I was completely shattered this morning and to be honest it just isn't worth it....for me.

Will be in the 9pm tonight I think.

That's the one thing that I think sets us apart from a lot of the other playing sites. Most of us have families, social lives, jobs to get up for the next day, so being able to have a major score in a tournament which is all wrapped up by midnight seems perfect to me. Wading through thousands of Americans to come 97th out of a gazillion players for $18 is fun and all that...

That and you've got Tikay. Priceless.
