Changes - ACTION Tables

edited December 2011 in Poker Chat

If you go to the Cash Table Lobby, you will now see "Action Tables" at most levels from 10p up.

On an "Action Table", the "Small Blind" and Big Blind are the same. So, what WAS a 5p-10p Table would, IF an Action Table, now be a 10p-10p Table.

The MINIMUM sit down at all "Action Tables" is 20xBB, the MAXIMUM is 100xBB.

There are also some additional Points awarded when playing Action Tables.

Points awarded for every 20 raked hands (pro-rata), are.....

5p-10p Normal Tables, 2 points, 10p-10p Action Tables 3 points.

10p-20p Normal Tables, 5 points, 20p-20p Action Tables 6 points.

15p-30p Normal Tables, 5 points, 30p-30p Action Tables 6 points.

25p-50p Normal Tables, 9 points, 50p-50p Action Tables 10 points.

50p-£1 Normal Tables, 18 points, £1 £1Action Tables 20 points.

£1-£2 Normal Tables, 24 points, £2 £2 Action Tables 25 points.

    Please note - these "Action Tables" do NOT replace ANY other Tables, they are an addition.

    So players have the choice - play as before, on "normal" Tables, OR choose the Action Tables.

    Nothing removed, something added.

    Thanks Rob, cold down here, too.

    Anticipating the changes is fun? Good, I've not begun yet, there are LOADS more, affecting Cash, SNG's, Tourneys, all sorts of stuff. Not everyone will like everything, c'est la vie, but I'm pretty sure that, overall, everyone will agree that it will mean more choice, & a more user-friendly software interface.

    yey !  I'll look forward to this, lets hope theres still some SNG players around.  Also think the primo 3k starting stack is a brilliant change.

    On a different note, since the maintenance this morning, when i change the chat to 'summary and chat' it still stays as full detail. Obviously i can live with this  lol, was just wondering if any1 else is affected by this ?

    Yes, apologies, aware of that - it's a sort of side-issue of something else planned for implementation, it won't be like that very long, and it will be sorted properly soonest.

    Did not know what  to expect before I opened this thread. 

    Any chance of including obligatory straddles?! Now THAT is action...

    Having £2 - £2 for HU is really odd. Could be a hinderance in getting the games started and there is potential for these being a real rake machine for Sky. 

    Hmm...

    Would be well sexy. Like I said, HU is going to be so weird in this format.

    indeed antes on the mastercash tables would be great, these "action" tables will never get started because you can't play HU
    with the same big and small blinds it's ridiculous, also you give 200nl players +1 point when the rake it's going to create for you will be huge and is nowhere near the incentive to start up these tables over regulars

    they could introduce some other concept tables like straddling, run it twice, win a hand with 2-7 game, whoever wins the hand has the button next hand....etc...

    Where would we be without a moan lol. Well this aint a moan its just an observation, the lower level action hands have a decent percentage poker point upgrade, whereas the high level action hand is rubbish. I wont affect me as i dont play ''nose bleed'' tables lol, but the 1 extra point for the £2/£2 seems a bit miserly!!!
