just seen on the home page that you nare running extra happy hours at certain times tonight but if im reading the promo correctly its only for certain blinds levels mainly the top level of each tier in the cash kings promo.

have i read this correctly?

is the top tier ie 10p/20p in the lower tier getting extra happy hours exclusively for them when others at 5p/10p 4p/8p arent?

is this not a little unfair for all other users who may have their own goals within the cash kings promo's.

please clarify as i understand it most people are missing out

    good question, also why at various time slots for tiers

    can you please just run the lower tier 8-9pm plz o plz o plz - so unfair on me and others who can't get online sooner in the evening - kind of handing it over to the people who can play during the day


    us evening grinders have no chance (

    The thing is, promotions aren't meant to be fair, they are designed to generate extra revenue.
    Sky obviously think that, by targetting certain levels, this will be achieved.

    Fwiw, the Kings of Cash promo is set up, such that it is weighted favourably towards the micro / small stakes players. (i.e. the top scorers in those categories will probably get more £/pt as prizes, that in the mid-stakes levels).
    Equally, I don't see anything wrong with this, as there are probably sound business reasons for arranging it this way.

    Well you'll have to explain to me the logical busines reason to run extra happy hours for tiers but they run at various times.

    For example:

    lower tier: 7-8pm
    middle tie 8-9pm
    upper tier 9-10pm

    Just run them all at say 8-9pm

    so annoying for me but I am selfish because I can't get online playing till 8pm at the earliest

    So while you have happy hours during the day, this doesn't make me happy )

    Maybe Sky want to increase traffic during the day but hey - it's all about me I'm afriad

    Running happy hours at the most convenient times for people, would be a pretty stupid thing to do.

    I agree so why run extra happy hours for mid and upper tier between 8-10pm - but lower tier run at 7-8pm

    How is 8-10pm inconvenient for the mid-high stakes players -

    may aswell run the extra hour between misnight & 1am

    just being selfish but hey - level playing field plz for da promo

    Pretty sure it has just been confirmed on the official top 100 promo thread by sky poker that it IS only the levels outlined in the promotion that will be getting the extra happy hour.

    Really! Divide and conquer!

    That's very harsh on the people who are already at a disadvantage

    Sky do some great things then go and spoilt it (

    i agree with you.

    how many people have been putting in extra at the lower tiers of their particular section in the hope of claiming a spot in the top 20. what message does this send, it is worth their while continuing for the rest of the month with the extra volume if the top tier is going to get even more points. should they decide not to then havent these selective happy hours defeated their purpose

    these happy hours should be for all levels.
