Although I haver been a member of Sky Poker almost from the very beginning,this is the first time I have ever felt the need to post on the forum.In my opinion there are now far too many bounty hunter tournaments and less and less "proper" tournies.Although the BH tournies are good fun they do not promote good tournament play.I believe its time we went back to having decent tournaments with a good structure and knocked a few of the BH's on the head.

I know what ya mean, and I'm not a massive fan of BHs but there is definitely a skill element to BHs, you just have to adjust your game to the people who are alot more gambly, especially in the low stakes ones.
Hi Hubzter
I am new to Sky Poker but played on other sites for years I feel the are plenty of tournaments for everyone on Sky there are DYM’s Timed and all the sit and go’s and even the speed and not forgetting cash ones just sit and play one of each and see how you go and play the best one that suits you best
i have put a deposit in and i refuse to play them,just came back to try my luck at cash low stakes.
MORE FREEZEOUTS.
Here on Sky Poker Bounty Hunter tournaments consistantly attract far more runners than freezeouts at all buy-ins from £2 to £100. Whether you like them or not Sky are giving the punters what they want, the number of Bounty Hunters in the tournament lobby is in good proportion to the demand in my opinion.
I've just had a quick look at the MTT lobby, I see there's a £2 Bounty Hunter starting at 2-15pm this afternoon, then a £2 freezeout just 5 minutes later at 2-20pm. So the punters who have £2 to invest in an MTT at that time of day have a clear choice between the two formats.
It could be argued that the freezeout is more attractive because it's raked at 10%, whereas the Bounty Hunter is raked at 15%. Anyhow, lets see what happens. As I post nobody has registered for either game, Here are the lobby URLs;
2-15pm £2.00+30p Bounty Hunter https://www.skypoker.com/secure/poker/sky_lobby?action=go_tnmt_lobby&game_id=6829008&guid=8e26db3e-d00d-47fc-afd4-602e4f1ce6fb
2-20pm £2.00+20p Deepstack https://www.skypoker.com/secure/poker/sky_lobby?action=go_tnmt_lobby&game_id=6829031&guid=8e26db3e-d00d-47fc-afd4-602e4f1ce6fb
I've gotta say though, I don't see this changing any time soon, supply and demand is in effect, the BHs are so popular that they still attract healthy fields despite the 15% fee.
Every evening there is simply too many b/h. Keep the £500 & £400 b/h but add in two Guaranteed Freezeouts aswell.
Oh and please change the payout structure! It seems on most of the tournaments if you make it to ITM it seems that you get less than your total buy-in, an example was the Super-stack yesterday at 3pm whereby 11-20th place paid out £10.70 when the buy-in was £11.
