I think it's a good idea because once i've cashed in a dym i have no interest in league points and shove ever hand but other players who do want the league points keep folding which i find very annoying so hopefully this won't happen now as all three players get the same league points.
I also would be happy if the game ended automatically when there is only three players left.
FWIW (for once ;-)) I agree with Greg on DYM's finishing when 3 handed. I have started multi-tabling these lately, and if you could minimise the tables then it'd be fine, but they do keep popping back up all the time. From what I have seen in 90% of dym's everyone just shoves when 3 handed anyway. It would be beneficial to me if they finished 3-handed imo.
In Response to Re: Double Your Money League Points Changed! : OK What Level DYMs do you play 30p 60p £1 £2 £3 £5 WHAT please let me know. ty Posted by logdon
At the minute I play £10, but sometimes play £5 too
Just checked Prize Structure for DYMs and it lists League points only no mention Poker points but they are awarded when you finish top three. Some low DYMs get one Poker point, others get two points. Why are they not mentioned in Prize Structure. ? anyone.??? Posted by logdon
You get 1 poker point for each 10p paid in rake (it gets rounded up), all 6 players get the same poker points regardless of where they finish.
So for a 50p + 10p DYM you get 1 poker point, for a £1.00 + 15p DYM 2 poker points, for a £5.00 + 50p DYM 5 poker points, etc.
The poker points have always been equal, nothing has changed, they're Sky's version of loyalty points, a bit like Tescos Clubcard points, the more you play the more you get regardless of whether you win or lose. The main use of Poker Points is to work out how much you earn in the Cash for Points scheme. Poker points are also used up when you enter freerolls, this stops players joining the site and permanently playing only freerolls without ever playing any games with an entry fee.
League points on the other hand are awarded according to results to determine your postion in the Poker League. In theory the players with the best results in each category will be at the top of the league (this is why it has always been contoversial that League Points are awarded for Russian Roulette). League Points used to be a way to earn a cash prize for a top ten finish in the monthly league, or to get a shot at cash prizes in the League Stars freeroll. These days though all the cash prizes have all gone, the league will now be used to determine who gets the chance to join Team Sky Poker. The League Stars freeroll still exists, but it has become a satellite for the monthly £8K deepstack.
As you can appreciate, we cannot facilitate every request that is made on the poker forum, that way every player would have their own individual table!
What we do say is that we will look at as many comments as possible and raise them. This doesn't mean that the Poker Forum is how we base all our decisions. We obviously look at game play in all tournaments and what is popular with our customers etc.
We do say, however, that if you have a suggestion or comment to make, feel free to post it on here and we will look into it for you and post as many responses as possible.
I appreciate you want DYMs to continue until the end, which is why we do not close the tournament once we reach the final 3. It is not something we are looking to do right now, however, we will continue to monitor the tournaments and make regular decisions and adjust accordingly.
Hi all! As a regular Double Your Money sit & go player I preferred the old points system. I use the 6 player format to practice final table scenarios. Now it's all in every hand!!! I do however like the Guaranteed points for the top three players!!

I WISH.

You complain that you can't make 500 poker points for the bonus but how much time have you wasted playing out dym's that you have already cashed in.
If you are playing purely for fun, why are you bothered about the bonus?
So for a 50p + 10p DYM you get 1 poker point, for a £1.00 + 15p DYM 2 poker points, for a £5.00 + 50p DYM 5 poker points, etc.

I have forwarded a copy of this thread onto the Sky Team for their attention.

Hope that helps clarify things a little more.
