Poker Points Happy Hour??

edited November 2009 in Poker Chat
I was thinking that perhaps during the day (between 1-3pm?) a double points period could be introduced to increase traffic during the early afternoon?  Would also help low stakes players and beginners see some benefit from regularly playing as points accumulation is very diffuclt at 4NL etc. Obviously I'm basing this on FTP's Happy Hour and so I understand this may not be possible for a site not of such size.

    I think its a good idea in principle but whatever time you choose to run it you will get people complaining that they can't participate and are therefore losing out because of work or some other daily commitments at that time.

    I THINK YOUR MISSING THE POINT HERE KIWINI, ITS SUPPOSED TO BE WHEN NOT MANY ARE PLAYING, TO ENCOURAGE MORE AT THESE TIMES, LIKE EARLY HOURS OF THE MORNING, OR LUNCHTIME DURING THE WEEK, OR TEA TIME ETC, AND TOUGH IF PLAYERS CANT MAKE IT, I WOULDNT MAKE MOST OF THE TIMES MYSELF LOL

    I like the concept but allocating the time would be tricky.

    i wouldnt be using this idea so much myself at present as im on my break (although going by way ive played recently i may make my return soon).

    However i think this would be an idea to get sky poker a little busier a differnt times. I used to play alot at night and unless on a cash table struggled to get a game, also the lunchtime thing i used to play the odd tournament at and there wasnt usually more than 10 within.

    I like the idea in priciple, but I am not sure how it could be worked.
    Also the idea of the person starting a table getting double points is a good idea.

    It's a good idea, and does work on FTP.

    I prefer late night early morning for double points, as 1-3 is still a relatively peak time compared to 12am onwards.

    HOLD ON... WHAT ABOUT ALL OF US WHO HAVE BEEN WITH SKY SINCE DAY 1 AND HAVE BOUGHT POKER POINTS UP LOADS OF TIMES AND HOW TO SPEND THEM....  AND STILL HAVE NO REAL ANSWER...SURELY THEY MUST SORT THAT OUT FIRST BEFORE EVEN SUGGESTING DOING THIS?

    Could try early afternoon/very late evening, dont see it affecting the number of players much though
