there seem to be a lot of tournament players. maybe its a good idea to have a monthly 100k gtd with enough sattelites going on the whole month, the player volume would easily meet the guarantee

PS- Hurst i saw 4500 online last week i believe, wonder what the record is? online & playing
BI would need to be 500 minimum, and sky should reduce the reg fee to 25.
can easily see a £50kGTD with a 500+25and sats running daily with 3 months notice/marketing to get the word out being a successfull tournie.
Buy in for 100k would be £100 per seat
one big satellite daily with 20 seats guaranteed say say £25 buy in. and there would be super sattelites for like £2-5 running throught the day, so pple dont even pay the £25 for the sattelite. (simples)
20 seats x 30 days in a month = 600 players + ppl buying in
Best time to do this would be in winter time when every one is playing. also if you promoted it. i can only see good things. ppl like tournaments. it attracts players.
Plus think of Sky poker TV the coverage of a final table with a prize pool of this magnitude.
Ooops just wet my self with excitement.
oh and btw £100 is not high stakes, monthly, is madly affordable.
I also wouldn't worry about sharks in a £100 MTT, there wont be many. and any new players that come to this site you will have an advantage over, they will be used to playing tournaments 9 or 10 handed.
don't forget it would be like 25k to the winner aswell guys.
One person a month winning 25k would do the site wonders. and dont forget the rest of the payout of final table. it would bring so much more money to sky poker.
Then you should come play me HU with winnings ;-)
I think both Scotty77 and Brownndog have this spot on
Reduce to 50K with Antes and H4H and see how it goes. If it works then we can progress from there.
so when is it going to happen ?
(i wont be playing, be too much)
Most sites adjust their guarantees as the seasons change and numbers fluctuate.
I would have thought a £25k - £30k tournament is comfortably achievable every month.
Biggest BI is the £220DS thats capped at 50 runners and has an £8kGTE.
IIRC correctly the Primo used to be £25k but that was in the early days with a far fewer players. I think that £25k could easily be achieved every week even at a £55BI as poker players get a bit s punky whenever theres a chance of overlay.
People are not interested in it. they wouldn't ever think, ah yes, Sunday, big tournaments everywhere, lets play at sky poker for the 15k Primo 'LiL'
This needs to be addressed and i don't think 30k is enough. 50k minimum. but i guess its a start.
what i think your missing is sky is a building site. We are on the way forward. But we still cant compete with the FTP and Stars in terms of traffic and therefore garentees.
Sky are building in huge leaps and bounds to improve and catch up with these bigger sites. However you have to also remember sky aim their area for United Kingdom players only which actually means its harder for them to get the numbers of Stars and Full Tilt.
Have a look at a site like PKR for example - it offers the closest to live play online than any other site. As a result its managed to boost huge impacts with traffic. How many people had heard of the site a few years ago?
I must then also take you attention at how much the site values its community. This is way most players do play here - Sky is like one big family.
nothing has happened tho. oh well, leave another year.
