Am down at Sky Poker Land today, & been earholing outside the Boss's office.

So, "The Open" is too fast? Too slow?

Right, as of now, they have a Tourney each night at 8.30 called "Slow Boat". £3.30 to enter, £500 Guaranteed. 2,000 chips and........15 minute blind levels. That's right. 15 minute blind levels. On Sky Poker!

Too slow now?

OK, next Tuesday, the Show will be an all-singing all-dancing "Velocity" night. To the surprise of many, the ultra-fast Velocity has proven immensely popular. So Tuesday next will be Velocity night. £4.500 Guaranteed Prize Pool, for £5 Entry.

Oh, & the other complaint they've been hearing more & more is that the TV Tourneys - The Open & Velocity - sell out each night. So next Tuesday's Velocity Special will have a ceiling of 1,000 runners, so that gives a bit more headroom.

And if one's too fast, & the other too slow, well, "The Open" remains as was.

Oh, while I have my Spam Hat on (I know, I know....) - this Friday's £25,000 Guaranteed Primo (£55 to enter) already has 401 players registered! So if you wanna play that, get in quick.

Slower tournament sounds good. Would like to see the open with that structure - televised and a £10 buy in would be great, I'll probably give the Slow boat a go.

If "Slow Boat" proves popular, who knows?

Good post.  There's always going to be a trade-off between the show and the tournament structure.  A £10 buy-in with 15-minute levels would be great - could start earlier and the play and hand analysis would be much better, as the play would be better.

Small steps...

I pray these changes improve my winnings on there this month!

If it doesn't I am holding you personally responsible Tikay and I am going to send "Halifax" around to Sky Poker Towers!
