It's because they're so popular. Bounty Hunters attract more runners than any other type of MTT on Sky at all buy-ins.

You hold a lot of bounty hunters, therefore people who like bounty hunters play on sky poker, therefore bounty hunters are popular on sky poker, therfore you hold a lot of bounty hunters.

People who like freezeouts arrive at sky poker, see lots of bounty hunters, leave.

People who like freezeouts outnumber people who like bounty hunters in the rest of the poker universe.

So, you could have found your niche, or you could be attracting less players than you could.  It would be very difficult to tell without doing something that alienates the player base you have.

All running as I type;

6-50pm £2.30 Bounty Hunter............163 runners

7-15pm £2.20 Deepstack ..................87 runners

8-10pm £2.20 Scary Rebuy................30 runners

The players are free to enter whatever they choose, the numbers speak for themselves. The same applies at all buy-ins, there is a £100 tournament every evening, the field is always bigger when it's a Bounty Hunter than when it's a freezeout.

PS I don't work for Sky, I'm an ordinary player just like you. Personally I think the Bounty Hunters here are great tournaments (apart from the expensive 15% rake at £5 and £2), much better than those offered on other sites.
