Ino this is down to the football when i looked around 6pm there was only around 20 runners and i was really intrested to see how many there would be when it starts
99 eventually 1 short of the GTD
10 paid
£1500 1st
£150 10th
Personally i think this is a great format i see there was 3k in chips rather than the usual 2k?
I only ever play the BH main events as there over in 3 hours most times dont usually play the longer events , deepstack , primo eg as im not willing to play 6 hours for a little profit ofa min cash if i get that far
My point bein why dont sky test some of these out not bein the main events just adding um after the main event say...
9pm? £35+£3
3k chips 8min blinds on a friday night
or
4pm £25+£2
2.5k chips 10 min blinds saturday day
I think the biggest tourny on sky is the £11 buy in £400 gtd that isnt a BH but i may be wrong
You have the £2k £22 buy in Bounty hunters which happen to attract big fields always , but half the prizepool is spread out over the heads
Any ideas?

As for the primo, it has had 3000 chips for a good few months now, and is a massive improvement.
Even tho BH are my favourite there is just to many on this site and there is no bigger buy in smaller field tournies.
Yes you get the roller but there more of a deepstack and are a much bigger buy in.
Same format as the main events just in the day time or later at night after the 8pm are much needed.
You have the £250 gtd eg for £5.50 usually pays 5 winner getting £100 and 5th getting £22.50 usually a 3 hour tourny
That kinda game is needed with a bigger buy in , i play cash on here but due to the lack of mtt worth playing for in the day or later at night ive had to play on another site that offer so many more options eg
This is something that has come up before. The simple explanation (as I understand it) for the lack of other MTT's with a £11-£55 buy-in in the evening is that these events would inevitably prove detrimental to the field of the main event. Sky Poker isn't Pokerstars and it's important for Sky's main events to achieve large fields in order to maintain their prestige. Thousands play on Sky, while hundreds of thousands play on Stars. This means Sky can't run multiple large buy-in events without them competing with one another.
The events Sky run are designed to be complementary to the main event - the mini-main for the lower stakes players and the rollers for the higher stakes players - but running competing events at a similar time and at a similar buy-in level to the main events wouldn't make commercial sense. The prestige of those main events would be compromised.
