Hello,
I've been playing single table SNGs almost exclusively at PokerStars. I don't have much of a bankroll so I play at the lower buy-in tournaments, $5's and $10's. The main reason why I picked PokerStars to play SNGs at was because of the amount of time per level (10min) and 1500 in chips to start. I feel their blind structure for SNGs is the best IMHO for me because it doesn't degenerate to a crapshoot for quite some time and allows for a lot of play before the blinds are gobbling up everyone's stack.
Anyways the question is that I noticed that UltimateBet's SNG blind structure (10 min/lvl) and starting chip count (1500) has been updated and now mirrors PokerStars very closely. I was curious if anyone out there plays SNGs at UB and has had prior experience at Stars at the lower buy-ins. If so do you think one is easier to beat than the other, tougher players at one over the other? Thanks.
