I dont like to moan about this kinda thing and I usually defend Sky when others moan but why do the really low stakes players seem to be ignored all the time.
These new action tables have been introduced and yet there are none at the micro stakes... this isn't the first time this kinda thing has happened where micro stakes cash tables are treated like they do not exist
Tikay, ive just won a 2.00 bounty hunter with 86 runners, in the process i knocked out 15 heads, would love to know is there a record for the amount of bountys got in a tournie of about the same amount of players.
Anyone out there got a possable record amount of heads.
Would like to see what the ave is per tournie.....
Hey Tikay, You said on a show that the min buy in on cash tables will be raised, When will this happen? The shortstacks that join the tables kill the action as it is no longer poss to raise or call with speculative hands. Sometimes I just leave the game and cant find another suitable game so I end up playing on another site that suits my needs.

Morning Peter.
It already has, though I was speaking specifically as to the new "Deep Stack" Tables which were introduced last week.
These were introduced to satisfy the situation of "shorters". Quite a few people dislike the ability of players to "short", but equally, many players like the ability & opportunity to sit "short" & try & have a spin-up. The tricky bit is to please everyone, of course.
As of now, players have a CHOICE. The existing Cash Tables remain "as was", but the new DeepStack Tables are there, too. So, one would hope, something for everyone.
The pull-ups on the Deep Stack Tables are as follows.....
Minimum - 50xBB
Default - 100 x BB
Maximum - 250 x BB.
For the time being, there are no plans to change the Minimum Buy-Ins on the "regular" Cash Tables, afaik, but, as always, if a majority of the player base see it as a problem, it can be changed, I believe, pretty quickly. It's all about "balance", & choice.

An incredible performance, Tom, well done! Nice Post, too.

I don't believe they are, Lambert, & I think that's rather unfair. "ignored all the time"? No, I don't think so.
I think I field in excess of 100 PM's & e-Mails from what you describe as "low-stakes players" every week, & I can say, hand on heart, they get fairly treated, more than fairly, in fact. There seems to be some sort of persecution complex at work here.
In answer to the question, once the jibes are set aside, I have no idea why there are no "Action Tables" at those levels, but I will ask. I would imagine there is a good reason - there usually is. Nothing happens without a reason in life, does it?
Hi TK I don't usually (complain) but Santa ignored me. I went to see him on Omaha cash tables and sit on his knee and tell him what a good little girl I've been all year and what I wanted for Christmas and guess what ----------- Yep! He ignored me, yes he did, then ran off and left me sitting on an empty table. Sob Sob The Question is,
Does he not like me.!
Am I to fat and heavy to sit on his lap.!
Has he run out of Pressies.!
Or does he just like to be chased. ? Mmm Ho! Ho!
No Hugs for Santa at the minute. A very Disappointed little Girl Annie.!

Lol, sorry about that Annie. See, I told you that Santa chappie was a meanie. Don't trust him, me.
Why is it whenever I find myself with a decent hand and I raise 3 times the bb, everyone around the table calls with junk or even raises an all in to which I call. We flip, I've got AsKs, AsQs etc and 2 other guys have flipped 8d,4d and jh,2c. On more than enough occassions for my liking these 'players' have hit the flush, house, trips etc and knocked me out with, in reality, terrible hands. TBH I'm getting tired of these BINGO players that shouldnt even be involved in a pot this big pre flop. Posted by greenjoe
Hi Tikay, When are the UKOPS highlights shows filmed, and how can I find out which ones will be on and when? Wondering if the one I played in will be televised or not. Thanks Posted by EvilPingu
Hi Evil,
To the best of my knowledge (& I may be wrong) there are no plans to show any of the recent UKOPS again, sorry. The Xmas UKOPS will be covered Live, however, or at least, as much of it can be contained within the Show schedule of 7pm-Midnight for all 4 nights of Xmas UKOPS.
Not sure if you have it, but if you have, Sky Plus might be the answewr.
Oh I get it now Thnaks Acebarry10 Posted by Bonapar813
Barry answered correctly, Mr Bone, Omaha is differnt to NLH, in that you MUST use 2 cards from your hand. It can be quite confusing.
What will help you is this.....
When the Omaha Table opens, go to "Options" (top left hand corner).
Tick "SHOW HAND DESCRIPTIONS".
Now, once the Flop comes down, your BEST hand will be displayed on the Table (under the Community Cards), & it will change, as appropriate, after the Turn, & River, so you will always know where you are. It really helps, especially if a newcomer, or multi-tabling. I would add - because I was asked this once - that the "Hand Description" info is able to be seen ONLY by you.
hi tk. love the survivor,fantastic value 4 us micro players i enter on the sunday 4 a £1,whenever i,ve a free week! just a thought though! couldn,t the prize money be spread a little more to cover the "final table"? my thought,s are; 6th £10 5th £15 4th £25 3rd ---- 2nd----- 1st--------- it would only be a £50 loss in money to the way it is at the moment but at least it would give something to those making the final table! just a thought!!!!!! Posted by devonfish5
At first glance, & on the face of it, that sort of makes sense, Mr Devon.
I do the Pre-Record (TV Show, recorded) for this most weeks, as I did again last night, & I'm always a little gutted when 3 of the 6 get nothing, especially if it's one of the Micro-Stakes guys.
The opposite argument is that in, say, a 20 runner Event, it's illogical to pay 6 places - also an argument which has some merit.
It's hard to gauge what the reaction might be. Poker players seem to struggle to debate reasonably, they go from bang to pop very quickly, & if it paid 6 places, some of them might kick off, you know how it is.
I'll make sure the Suits are aware of this idea, but they may have already clocked it.
Seasonal greetings to you & your family, too, Mr D.
