cash traffic A.M.

this month ive been attempting nl10 and have been left rather frustrated at the number of tables that run before the lunchtime happy hour at 1pm

today i logged on at 11:50 only to find 1 table running. this isnt an isolated case a its been similar all month. i always start new tables as soon as 1 is nearly filled in the hope that i can get a few up and running before happy hour kicks in but i think im in a minority.

im wondering what factors are contributing to this and what could possibley be done to boost numbers not only at my level but over the board.

is it just a seasonal thing?
is the early bird promotion actually succeeding?
is it worth an earlier happy hour to boost numbers?

please discuss and post suggestions

    cheers Mr K

    its frustrating logging on and wanting a game and not having them available. i know mid morning to lunchtime is never going to be choca block with players but to only find 1 table running minutes to midday at a level that falls under the "micro" category isnt great.

    i do my best to get new tables running so im not putting the onus on others. i managed to get 6 running by just after 1pm when happy hour started and 5 of them i started.

    im just trying to understand any possible reasons behind so few playing and possibly what action could be done to improve numbers.

    thanks tikay for reading and taking note

    I posted this the other week seems its just the number of players on here whilst there was between 800-1000 on sky mon-fri... on other sites i play there was between 8000-10,000 plaers online, so obviously just a smaller community

    Sky are going downhill for a few reasons in my opinion.

    Software is about as bad as it gets in terms of features. Once you try another site its hard to go back to sky.
    Forum is badly run.
    Reward system rewards nitty play.
    Small player base.

    Hi TINTIN

    As you know I also play mainly NL10. I rarely play before about 11am. Think its just a general thing - go to vegas and not much happens am.

    As for the happy hour promotions it is zero incentive to me. Ijust play when I can and if it coincides with a happy hour so be it. I guess thats partly due to the values, I only play 2 tables and get between £15 and £25 per month so its no great incentive.

    See you at the tables.
    Pavillion

    There is not much traffic in general in the morning as most people have work or are in bed. The good thing about nl10 that you've found out is that its reasonably easy to start a new table often it will fill up within 5 mins. Just keep doing that :)
