I like the structure of the Sky tournaments, and it's not as if they should be a surprise to anyone now.  Are you playing tonight?

I was, didnt enjoy it at all

Got to admit the 3000 chips are better than the original stake, but with blinds going up every 7 mins.......................TURBO hell

The Primo event was £55 entrance, but now they have come up with £110 with no difference in the levels!!

Think this is one too miss

I dont understand why they have bigger tourneys yet still trying to squeeze them into a few hours. Get them to start earlier and then sky can pick and edit what it wants. 7min blinds u getting 3-4 hands max on a normal table.

I think it's because of the live broadcast - they want to be as 'live' as they can so they need to squeeze the structure a bit.

They may want to squeeze the structure, but then they ramble on about "badbeat"hands and show very little action. If they are showing live action then they ought to move it on a bit quicker

Yeah, but it's eloquent rambling.......

No problem with you rambling on Tikay, but with some of the presenters it does become a little repetitive.

Night after night same old quotes, in fact the best ones are the c**k ups.

Longer levels and random hands not all one and two outers

They could speed up the deal and reduce the time to act a little. That will add an extra hand per level without changing the structure.

However I voted with my feet. I don't like the structure so I've stopped complaining about it and not going to play the tournies. There may be a time when they do longer tounies, I will have to wait and see.

They could speed up the deal

This is my only gripe with it (apart from a couple of the presenters - none of them Blonde-related, obviously - whose manner would sometimes be better suited to Jackanory than a poker programme).

The deal is painfully slow - and there's no point to it other than as decoration. No-one's having to deal any cards, the computer knows what they are instantly - so why do you have to wait for them all to drift into place every hand? Just have the cards pop up, much as they did on Tribeca, and as you say, you'd get extra hands in without changing anything else.

I don't really see the point in complaining about the structure though - it is what it is, and it's not like there aren't any plenty of other tournaments out there to choose from.

I enjoy playing it occasionally - though I do need to check who's presenting first... Sometimes it can be brilliantly watchable, other times outright painful.
