I am one of many I am sure that play SNG's at both Stars and Party with a breakdown of something like 70% Party and 30% Stars and I can honestly say that both have their upsides. I am slightly more profitable at Party per SNG played but I attribute that to the players at the 10 and 30 level more than any structure differences. Even with one fewer player at Stars, it seems that the games move quicker at Party and the added money of the additional player can make up somewhat for the faster (crapshoot) pace of the blinds.

In looking at my last 100 SNG's at both, even with the better structure and more starting chips at Stars, I have been only averaging about 3-5 more hands per round simply because of the slower pace of play. IMO the number of "fishy" players at Party more than make up for that kind of pace. I think it comes down to taste for 1 table tournaments. However, I love the 2 table format and wish that Party would break in with some.
