Poker Points Happy Hour??

nagrom

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.

 YES YES YES, amazing idea, ive thougt about this as well, do it sky.

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 remember a site that used to do this a while back.  They might still do, I`m not sure

CAN I HAVE EXTRA POINTS FOR PLAYING BADLY ?

you should move this thread to suggestions, that way the skyteam will look into it

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

IRISHROVER

well i have been playing on skypoker since its infancy,

and i find it is improving in its freerolls and point system in a ongoing bases ,

but as the numbers improve i am sure the freerolls will,

it seems skypoker is been unfairly compared to a lot of the bigger pokers sites ,

all of these sites have 100k players and more ,

sky in its peak have only 10k .

but i do find sky have a excellent listening ear .

also been a live tv show ,

it has big overheads ,

just look at richard orford ,

d amn was doing well up till that last comment ,

ah  well said it now  lol

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.

its not going to make that much difference... i would rather have a sky poker shop first.

extra points for what? entry to freerolls... nice. make a sky poker shop first.

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.

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