deepstack idea!

stokefc

Now i know people are going to start moaning their bag off about starting another deepstack thread, but i,m (and other regular deepstack players) getting concerned about the drop in numbers in the mid-range tournies (24 runners tues night).Anyway we were chatting and disscusing things to improve the numbers and we noticed that tikays sleepie seems to get more runners even though its £11 because the man plays himself.So if its not possible to put a gtd on the offodable or the £5 tounies perhaps we could have more presenters playing in the mid-range tournies maybe 3 or 4  playing in the same tournament i think the numbers would go through the roof, you could even put bounties on their heads to make it more intresting.One of the guys even suggested a monthly tournament with all the presenters but could imagine that the intrest would be immeasurable,obviously you would have to take the presenters commitments into account so that might not be possible,anyway just some thoughts we had to try and help.

Hi Stoke

Getting back on subject, your ideas are really good (plus those that contributed that you mentiona above). 

I think there is a wee bit of a problem with some deepstack tournaments being more fashionable as it were, and as you say, the presence of presenters and analysts will give some tourneys a higher profile. 

If as you suggest, a presenter/analyst can on occasion play in the other tourneys, they would get a lift, so hopefully someone at sky will give this thread some attention and get back to you.  Good luck with your idea mate.

Good Idea

Tikay10

I try to play in any or all of the 7pm Deepies, & I will continue to play them if I'm available. Not sure how that helps, mind!

Also.....

I don't want to get different Threads & ideas confused, so be aware, I'll be floating some ideas for changes to the Buy-Ins to the 7pm Deepies. Several players have approached me & asked if I can assist with this, & I'll try. Please do not conduct the debate on this Thread though - keep your powder dry for now please.

Yes it may be that Tikay plays this tournament. But more often than not its on his personal account. The guy loves Sky and plays it in his time off.. If you are sat with "tikay1" he is playing with his own money and playing for profit, yes he will still have a crack with everyone but he is off duty. Only when he is playing as "Tikay10" is he actually on duty. So the likely hood of getting "More presenters to play them" is unlikely as most of them don't play online on their time off, or if thye did they would be the high staked games on other sites I imagine.

As far as I know only Rich and Tikay play from home when not working (although im sure others do under a secret alias).

I do think having a GTD on these would be good though, when I used to run the league on here we got 100+ every night, and putting a GTD on it will encourage others to play again.

get what your saying flash but couldnt sky get 3 or 4 presenters in the studio to play these games afterall they,d make their bi back with the amount of players entering...sry tk
Edit: If they did this a couple of nights a week there would be at least two tournaments a week to look forward to and  be within the means of alot of players too

I too think it's a good idea, but I can't see the presenters wanting a bounty on their head, especially when playing with own money.
