Default PP vs stars

How long does the average Party SnG last versus the average Stars game? I'm asking because I really dont like the amount of starting chips and blind structure at party, but am interested in multitabling and making a good hourly rate. Obviously, the more SnG's per hour, the more money per hour.

Context:
I currently play at pokerroom, which is basically like stars except with 10 man SnG's. I'm a winning player four-tabling the 11's there and also the 22's 2 tabling, but I just cashed out a large amount so its back to the 11's. I'm thinking of 8 tabling there and stars, but also wondering if I should just switch to empire/party.

Stars tournies seem to take twice as long, but I have only played a few at stars for this very reason.

on party it seems so far that it's avg 10 min per tourney playing 4 at a time continuously... i.e. if i play for 2 hours i usually get in 12 tourneys...

Considerably longer @ stars, although you can play the turbos I think which makes up for that....

I would suggest party if your multi, but I like to play a larger stack while I am singling at the moment.

I'm pretty sure PStars only lets you play in 2 SnGs at a time, though I may be wrong.

Anyone on Pstars at the moment wanna check that out?

Actually, Stars lets you play 4+ at a time...I accidentally registered for 5 once and was able to play in all 5 concurrently. Talk about overlap...one table was completely hidden most of the time. but I did cash in all 5 tho [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

If you are intersted in 8-tabling, but staying at pokerroom...there is a PR.com skin that is not well known.

www.hollywoodpoker.com

IM not trying to spam, just a PSA. Might want to check it out, you get another 1st deposit bonus too [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I wouln't say that i am an 8 tabler, but what i usually do is runa quad at PR, and then start up a new quad at hollywood after about 30-40 minutes. Its sort of equivalent to 6-tabling, as far as tourneys/hour goes.

If you see illa5th or Big Limpin', be sure to say hi.

I knew there was a skin; somebody had mentioned it at the tables before. I just couldn't remember what it was. Do they share tournaments?
