had a feeling this was gonna happen. i noticed last sundays was about 40 players short to hit gtd. must have been struggling for last few weeks for it to drop now
Almost all the Tourney Guarantees have been lowered in the last week or two, this is normal at this time of year, & happens on most if not all European facing Online Poker sites every year at this time.
Online poker has strong seasonal peaks & troughs. Mid-winter is busiest, mid-summer quietest.
The biggest swings in traffic take place immediately following the date that the clocks go back, or forward. The clocks went forward last weekend.
Weather - good or bad - is also a factor, so with the clock change, & the excellent weather, traffic is inevitably lower.

NOT SO MUCH THE SNOW PLEASE, I KEEP NEEDING A PILLOW ON MY RUMP ( DAM I`V SLIPPED AGAIN )
I understand the factors that contribute to the lower guarantees, but, wouldn't it also be sensible to drop the prices of the buy-in along with the guarantees? I know that with lower traffic Sky Poker have to decrease the guarantees as it would be unsustainable to keep them at previous levels, but, if the buy-ins were lowered by the same amount it might entice more players in than would otherwise be the case. Just a thought and someone will probably point out a flaw in my thinking.lol Best wishes. Shaun the Villa fan in Bham
