have party $20 sng's gotten a LOT harder since saabpo?

[obeythekitten]

although i dont have any concrete proof of this, it seems like the $20 sng's have tightened up an unbelieveable amount since saabpo....ive had several that have had 7 players left by the 100 BB level, turning the game into a huge crapshoot, at least in my opinion

My median value for players left over the last 200 SnG's (10's, not 20's though, over about the last six weeks) has been seven at the start of level 4. That's not a comment about whether or not they've been getting "harder" or anything, but I can back your observation about the number of people left.

I think that only a tiny percentage of players were actually aware of the SAABPO phenomenon.

you dont think that an influx of even 200 players from 2+2 on the game would effect my overall performance?

Let's see where you stand after your next 500 tournaments. Party has 30-80K people playing at every hour of every day.

You are right but exaggerate a lot. According to Pokerpulse, Party currently has 6401+5057 ~= 11K players right now.

They "only" have 30K+ at peak hours.

and remind yourself that from my experience the majority of brand new online players stick to two things, the $25NL game and the $5+1 SNG's.....what i am suggesting is that there was a very specific influx of new players to a game, so much that it tightened it up to the point that i dont consider them worth playing at least for the time being.

It seems to me that the 20s have gotten a little tighter in the past few weeks, but the game is still soft
