Title: skypoker.com introduce "Sky Roller"
Post by: tikay on April 16, 2011, 11:38:56 AM

Starting at 8pm on Thursday, & every Thursday thereafter (except the last Thursday of the month, when the £220 Skysports DS will still run) there will be a new weekly £110 Tourney called "Sky Roller".

5,000 starting chips, & 15 minute blinds, the Tourney has a £5,000 Guarantee.

A new structure has been devised, much more balanced than the old £220 structure, which some said was a bit fast.

It neds 50 to hit the Guarantee, but I am pretty sure that it will attract a good deal more. If not, I'll be in a bit of trouble, as I stuck my neck out, & forecast 60+. We shall see.

The Tourney was announced yesterday, & 5 runners are in already, though one of them, blonde TSP Member "scotty77" was given his seat, as he suggested the Tourney in the recent "Design-A-Comp-Comp".

I do not believe that "FlashFlush" is Flushy, he's a High-Roller not a Sky-Roller.

scotty77 5000   
pod1 5000   
YOUNG_GUN 5000   
Wacko90 5000   
FlashFlush 5000

Looks like a very nice idea. Structure better too.

Hope it hits your 60. Sure many of the blondes will want a crack at this, especially via satellite

Good stuff - there was always a gap between the £220 and everything else that needed filling.

I had a look, downloaded, then DEAL OR NO DEAL was there staring right at me, so off I went, didn't do any good, then went on the actual fruit machine of it, got 3 phones, and it said that I would play the live game, thought it was a joke, when I saw the most you could win was 11 THOUSAND POUNDS!!! - with no real consideration, I picked my box, and off I went, however I ended up half way through taking out the 11k, still could of had 70£ but I carried on like a muppet and ended up with £3....

Suffice to say that I lost my skyroller money!!!!!!! ifgujiodsf;ujgilfdjkdfjxlkghdfk;ljgfk;lghk;l


I'm addicted to DEAL OR NO DEAL...fml...fmel.... how do I disable, and do you have ukash methods for future reference so I can not stay awake in the early hours degening it all away on deal or no deal sob sob :-(

Oops


1 they don't accept Ukash as a payment method. A little strange that, but I need to investigate why further

2 yes you may exclude from certain platforms and still play on another platform, by simply going into your my account then under the tab gambling safely. there you will see an option called stop betting. So for example you can self exclude from Sky Vegas but not Sky Poker. Be careful though, once you have self excluded its irreversible, there are no circumstances in which they'll change it back, so please take your time to make sure you self-exclude from the right area

3. What name did you sign up with please?

A fine effort indeed, Sir Tilt. You looked home & hosed when you had a 2-1 chip lead Heads Up, but young Nutter can mix it with the best, & he's quite cute heads up. And maybe lucky, too......

Serious question now.

The structures of almost all the Tourneys have been changed, & that structure last night was one of the "new improved ones", in fact you contributed massively to the "structures debate" we had next door recently. The "old" structure had left very little room to play in the mid to late stages. Was last night better, & what else could be done to tweak or fettle it in your considered opinion?


Title: Re: skypoker.com introduce "Sky Roller"
Post by: AndyG on April 22, 2011, 12:18:48 PM
The structure was great, infact I dont think it could be any better... Ive never played the site before hopefully more comps like that will see it grow. Do the bigger cash games ever get going ?

Take 2......

The structures were excellent and the blinds too long for the structure imo. The knock on effect of removing the 3 points in the tournament where your stack halved means that you're never suddenly short so you have more play but because there is no antes and many people play so incorrectly tight it lasted quite a while. The heads up finished about 1:30-1:45 I seem to remember, we both had 50 bets going into it.
