SnG game lengths

[codewarrior]

Jeez! Just finished a $20+2 two table that took an hour and forty-five minutes. Are these things getting longer and longer, or is it just me?

Got 1st though, after making the final table with a dismally short stack. /images/graemlins/mad.gif /images/graemlins/crazy.gif /images/graemlins/blush.gif /images/graemlins/grin.gif

yeah they are just too long in the middle. I am back at Party for SnGs.

I wonder if they have ever thought of having a structure which is dynamic i.e. rate of blind increase changes according to the number of players remaining. That would be really nice...

They have turbo SNGs

They last about an hour.

Yep, I love the Turbos. Better deal on the rake, they go quicker.

And the volatility can lead to some fun things. I came from 290 in chips with 7 players left to win one today.

[codewarrior]

The two turbos I tried lasted longer than a regular one, with people using up all their avaliable time to draw the clock. i.e. 5 out of 9 players doing this? Maybe I picked two bad tables?

Thanks for the reply, William.

Hey, we could ask them. We'd need a formula to add to the code.

<- not a programmer, not that kind of code... /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Ladbrokes SNG's have this. I'm not sure exactly how it works, but before I've started a second tounry 10 mins after the first and 30 mins later the second is on a higher level due to less players.

The 5+1 and 10+1 usually last 1h-1h30

[t_perkin]

Are they any good?

ive been doing the party sng's as well for this same reason. Have yet to try the turbos

I'm just starting out with the SNGs (played about 50) and I know my game still has quite large holes in, but it's been profitable.

From reading the threads here, the play seems very different to party - it's pretty weak-passive.
