Just railed one of these (yes Im sad like that) for a laugh and Im a bit confused? Is it supposed to be everyone is all in every hand? From what I saw there were players folding and the only two positions that were all in were the blinds. So more like a no moves satellite. All in or fold...unless youre in the blinds in which case youre all in?

    I've been in one of them and it is everyone all-in every hand. I think the only exception, what you might have seen, is when someone has just been moved tables so they don't get dealt cards in a particular hand.

    I watched about 15 hands and the players were definitely able to choose whether they wanted to be all in or not outside of the blinds. It was the 830pm 4k BH all in sat.

    I played in the half 8 one and another one, first time you got to option to play your hand, the second one everyone was all in every hand. I reckon the half 8 game was a minor blip.

    Used to play these on another site.

    Everyone starts with 1 chip and as you get winners the stacks increase and therefore you are not effectively all in every hand, but then I could be wrong as I haven't seen these playing

    yesterday, everyone was all in every hand. Today, only the blinds were. Not much difference as we all started with 1k and blinds were 1k 1k.

    Morning lads.

    Yes, there was a bit of a problem on one of these last night (the rest were fine), in that it was set up incorrectly.

    Apologies all round, tail between legs & all that.

    As it happened, it did not seem to mar the enjoyment of it, which was good to see.

    Interestingly, all of them were very popular, & so they will continue, which, I think, will be well-received generally. Not by everyone of course. ;)

    Once again, sorry. The Sky Poker canteen are serving this for dinner today......
