Big buy-in HU shuffles?

Are these in the works? 

I definitely would play every one I could, and I'm sure this would be true of alot of others...

    What's big buy-in?

    I liked the idea someone mentioned of having a HU shuffle as one of the main events. Replace one of the numerous BHs we currently have for a £22 HU Shuffle, with lots of satellites through the week like any other ME.

    We tried a £20 but the take-up wasn't as good as the others.

    I played it, but fair enough, I meant something like a 55 on the same day as the primo or something?

    I mean yeah, I dont expect you to pander specifically to my needs (well, I do, but for the purposes of appearing humble lets pretend I dont), just a suggestion and thread for people who also maybe want this to happen to post in. Could be a good way to guage intrest idk.

    Oh absolutely, threads like this are great for feedback and we wouldnt rule out trying again.

    Maybe its just a case of letting the right people know about it?

    I know a £20 random one may not have had many takers but these are VERY new to the site and alot of people probably don't even know about them (certainly non-forum people). Sticking one up as a ME, even if you only do it for a couple of weeks as a trail, with satellites and maybe the odd name-check of the tourney on 865.

    I'm sure for a £20 HU Shuffle, if satellites ran, and you gave people some notice etc, you could easily stick a £1000 guarantee on it and meet it. Maybe trial it for 1 week, say it will be a TV tourney, and in the poker school the next day you could have the topic as HU SnGs and maybe the changes you have to make when you are largely readless and don't have the chance for dynamics to form.

    Get 50 runners easy, I'm in!

    I really wouldn't want to see a HU shuffle as a main event. I think it's a bit niche and it's way too early to say if it will ever have broad appeal. I don't know if anything like this runs on other sites and, if not, it's not something people will just happily sit down and play for £20 if they've never played before... Maybe interest in them will grow but they're far too green at the moment.
