sit and go champ

this promo should of been done in a format of league points, not poker points. only the high rollers will get into the top 6 so not done on a fair playing field imo.

well said chills, they coulda gone back to awarding points as they did for the league for years, this coulda gone on for the week giving everyone a fair chance

Pretty laughable.    Basically whoever wants to play the most heads up games big stakes.    Gl to them.

I think it's going to be close between people who only play £55+ and those who play £11+ purely on the amount of games that run during the day.  There are many more at mid stake, although from 7pm onwards the £55 games get going at a decent rate.

I think the final will have a mix of mid stakes and high stakes regs.  I do think it will be hard for the lower stake regs to get in, although not impossible.

CHILLIE

A good idea would of been diffrent levels ie: 6players from diffrent levels, 1pound to 5 pound, level 10 to 22 pound level and so on, would of been fair so the lower stake players get a chance to actually contest this promo, but well done sky on helping the high rollers.

Yes well done sky money makes money again - unless ur a high roller playing £55+ stakes no point in playing this imo

rancid

Totally unfair as the higher stake BR players have a massive advantage

I mean seriously give the low BR players a chance SKY !

Sit N Go champ if you have a big BR !

I don't think they'll run enough.  The regs just don't play each other to a high enough level.

Assuming he's still putting in the volume he used to, I'm pretty sure WrongJohn is guaranteed a place because he is a massive sicko and I'm pretty sure he isn't a 'high roller' in terms of the stakes he chooses to play. Could be wrong but I'm sure he plays like medium stakes like £11s

The lower stakes player do have the advantage that if many of the regs want to have a go at this the volume of those games will increase dramatically.  I don't think most of the higher stakes regs will react in the same fashion.  The only thing in my experience that has ever gotten the game rate up at the higher stakes was the 60k points race, and that was just a few regs pushing for that.

I'm not sure where all this dislike for the promo is coming from.  You cannot expect to play the same amount of games you always have and just wander into the final.  The first thing I did was to dramatically increase the ranges of games I register for.  I'm not saying you should play higher, but I think anyone serious about going for this needs to play the lower games as well as their usual and play longer sessions.

I don't think a 1 week promo of this sort is what is needed boost sit'n'go's.
Top grinders rewarded well as always and draw which i sure will be done fair for the rest to look forward to.

sorry to disagree with u tommy but we know the high rollers will be lining up in the top 6, a lower stacks player will have to do more than increase there sessions this has not been thought out at all, should of been done on a league point format.

We'll just have to see at the end on this one.  If you're right then I'll doth my cap to you and say you were right.  I do concede a league point format would have been better, however I still think this is a good promotion and accessible for more than just the HRers.  We'll see in a week's time who was right.

BTW I'm playing everything £11+ so I should have a fair idea of some of the people who have gone for it and will hope to see them in the final.  Along with myself.

To be fair, there are people who 18 table like £3.30s and £5.50s and so if you reckon they take 30 mins per DYM roughly, they're getting an average of 4 points per game, so 72 points per 30 minutes, in comparison to a £55 player who gets 50 points per game but can't play as many games, it's not completely inconceivable that a proper low stakes grinder could get up there.

So they could be earning 144 per hour (roughly), so do that for 3 hours for 7 days and you got 3k points in 1 week. Sure that's a **** of a grind but it's only for a week, and if it gives you somewhere between £100 and £1000, it's worth it if you have the time.

It's not gonna be easy for low stakes players, but considering getting in it is a guaranteed £100 minimum and possibly £1000 if you take it down, it shouldn't be easy. If I was a DYM grinder, I'd certainly be giving it a go, but I'm not so yeah.

sosorry lambert but u are wrong,3.30s and 5.50s have not got a chance, the players that do 22dyms and above will take the top 6 spots if this was done on a league points system, i would agree with u coz then u have to cash and not just play.IFthis was done ike this it would of seen a few lower stacks player get in.

once again i have missed something i think what are you all talking about is there a new league?? or a replacement to the old. please help a old senile fogger out please and explain

belsibub

Anyone who thinks this promo is an incentive for the average player to play more sit'n'go's is deluded.
It's totally geared towards multi table grinders especially high level ones.
If this is what sky thinks is a good idea they need to think again.All of the top places will be taken by players playing there normal multi table grinds.
