I dont fear any sort of internet police...Democracy rules!!
The reasons given for this (sorry Sky) just don't seem to make sense. The 30p ones fill up quicker than at any other level (I sometimes log on for an hour at lunchtime and play the first low-level (i,e, £2+rake or lower) that fills up, 90% of the time it is a 30p one.
Very disappointed by this decision.
I would be interested in finding out why people play them however
Would'nt like to speculate why they did that. That might get this thread closed, and that would be going round in circles! Like when you are playing 30p dyms or something.
So is it unreasonable of Sky to expect people to have to deposit 20 quid in order to build a bankroll?
There are much better ways of learning how to play poker than these games surely.
yes you are right oynutter, sky are in it to make money. but it seems to me they are not catering for every level of player.is it really to much for their system to leave afew 30p dyms for people to play. on another site i play on ,you can play a 60 seater tourny for 2 cents . i like this site, but my worry is if sky continue to alienate micro players they will find plenty of other sites witch are more than willing to have lots of low entry buy ins ,for the recreational players .
Now to start messing with the ground roots level seems very odd.
hope u low stakes players get them back
gl all at the tables whereever it shall be
2/3 of the Squaddies are very dissapointed they have gone!!
Good training & practice it seemed, at a cheap price, for the lower levels, YOUR FUTURE PROSPECTS!!
Do many really play on the free tables now?? i would have thought maybe only a few people, getting used to the software!!
Were sky losing money on the 30p DYM's, marginal if at all!!
Arguments here have been well presented & constructed, i'd be intereseted to see if sky reply, sry if they had somewhere already!!
BUT EVEN Better, I be full of respect for Sky if, on consideration, they put them back in, for maybe a trial period, THEN see how well they are supported!! I know it gave everyone a good start into DYM, & the DYM Challenge!!
I challenge YOU Now SKY, think about the feelgood factor if you were shown to be listening & ACTING!!
WE COULD DO WITH SOME GOOD NEWS LATLEY!!
I'm trying, WILL YOU??
I suppose it all comes down to what floats your boat. 30p wouldn't do for me and i can say categorically that i play for fun. However, a goal is to make profit andi like the buzz that say a small overall gain on a night's entertainment or even just "hot" on sharkscope gives. £3.30 DYM occasionally £5.50, and a few MTT's of <£5.75 is my 'boat' especially single tables. There's no grind but there is a competitive flavour to it and usually players are well-schooled in strategy so not many maniacal plays.
It really does come down to how you percieve your play and your attitude towards the money involved. I satellited into a !%k BH twice for £1.60. Absolutely chuffed but could not pull the trigger on either occasion as the weight of the £15 on my avatar was greater than the perception of my skill level. I just was uncomfortable and who would make a choice to be uncomfortable except those people who go to see a 'friendly' dominatrix(in some homes that's called 'the missus' by the way!!)
All the best. Hope the next level will attract you and you will be comfortable....
I posted in 2 places yesterday regards to this and as yet no reply but i really believe if your a low br player on sky, your fighting with very few buy ins and even worse your fighting with very high rake. So few BI's v high rake makes it difficut for anyone. I dont care how good they are, its going to be hard.
