Party SnGs: Blinds go up too fast?

[Iron Tigran]

Having played many SnGs on UB, I was not ready for how rapidly the blinds go up on Party. One bad beat and the blinds are quickly eating you alive.

Does this necessitate playing more aggressively and stealing more early on? I have found it more comfortable to take it easy early on, and see who is often raising PF often, who is stealing, etc. But maybe I need to get get in and start swinging, eh?

Also, which site's SnGs are the best to play?

i definitely agree about the blind increases on party poker. for me, even worse is the t800 you start with. it just leaves too much to chance. party too often becomes a push/fold scenario. maybe not too bad if you're playing a TON of tourneys and are ok with the trade-off, but in my opinion it doesn't make for good fun poker.
