    Definitely playing UKOPS #2. In fact, I've already registered!

    And, if I'm not working on the Sunday, I'll definitely play the Main Event!!!

    Played a couple of the UKPOS1 sats last night. This was tricky as was already in the DTD and Main and mini - had more screens on the go that Rumbellows*.
    Made it through the second sat i enetered. More overlay than a bald-mans toupe**

    Fantastic value.

    In Response to Re: UKOPS - The Thread : I would imagine if this one week promotion stirs up enough interest and traffic for the site it can only increase the spend Sky Poker have for the lower bankroll promotions in the long term.

    The absolute worst thing an online poker site can do, in terms of increasing and sustaining growth in the long term, is to target their marketing campaign towards attracting winning players to play on the site. Not all growth is good growth.

    Nobody said this was attracting good players, just well rolled ones.

    Hi all, there's a free  seat going into tomorrow night's (Thurs 13th) direct satellite at 9pm.

    To land it, check my thread in 'General Poker Chat' called "Predict Orford's heads-up performance and win a UKOP direct satellite seat! Comp closes at 7pm tonight"

    In Response to UKOPS - The Thread:
    Good morning! Last night, Sky Poker announced it's inaugural "United Kingdom Online Poker Series", to be known as "UKOPS". A series of Online Poker Tourneys, it takes place between Monday October 31st & Sunday November 6th, 2011, immediately after SPT Leg One. Buy-ins range from £22 to £530, Clocks from 5 mins to 15 mins, starting chips from 3,000 to 10,000, with a total Guarantee Value of £140,000. It includes NLH Freezeouts, Turbo Rebuys, DoubleStacks, an Omaha Rebuy, a High-Roller, & a Main Event. A satellite schedule will be announced very shortly.  Any questions, fire away, & someone from Sky Poker will field them if I am not around. The Thread will also be used to keep abreast of who qualifies in the Daily Super Satellites, registered runners for each Event, & this, that, & even the other. In other words, all things UKOPS related. I'll be offline now until Sunday evening or even Monday, but any questions, stick them on this Thread please. Thanks!

    In Response to Re: UKOPS - The Thread : ^^^ this plus there are going to be tonnes of satellites for every one of the UKOPS events so i do not really see the problem as people are still going to be able to satellite in for a small amount compared to actual buy ins even if there was a mini ukops people will still not be happy that the £530 buy in is £53 etc i don't have the bankroll to buy in direct to every event but i will still be attemptin satellites for every tournament as then you are basically playing the tournament as if it is a 'micro tournament' as you are in for such a little amount
