I actually wish they WOULDN'T have lower buy ins for these things. The players are playing them like cheap SNG's. The players who happen to have smaller skill levels might be more inclined to move down limits if they are offered. Which makes for tougher games at the 20's or above (if they offer them).

I'm pretty sure it's not lower buy-in's schwza wants

The one listening to it's customers: Pokerstars

if they were really listening, they'd have other buy-in levels.

And notice that it's "have fun", it's not "enjoy!"

Man, this is awesome. What a great idea. Finally a chance to play MTTs without having to make such a huge time commitment.

i'm more excited about the idea of playing one whenever i want (and 4-tabling).

Re: 180 player SNG all day long now!
 

What do you think the chances are we will see a 10 dollars or even a GASP 1 dollar one? The one dollar ones would be sweet to play in for us beginning players.

I took first a week or so ago, and it took right about 4 to 4 1/2 hrs. Not too bad compared to some larger MTTs

Re: 180 player SNG all day long now!
 

I've only played two of these, but I'll echo the thoughts of others:

I have NEVER seen such horrid play in the $20 SNG's, whether it be 1 or 2 tables. Those playing these games are usually players looking to slowly build a bankroll playing the $20's consistently until their roll is good to move up a level.

The 180 personn SNG's seem to be a lottery for a lot of the entrants. They see the big prize at the end, they see it titled a SNG, and take many more chances than they would normally.

Again, I've only played two, but every flush draw was chased, gutshots called all the time, et cetera....

I'm such a big fan of having these all day on the weekends. I sometimes have 5 hours to do a tourney but 3 hours is much more managable.

Thank you Stars!

Really? I see a lot of final tables taking place after 3 hours....

It was a really long battle. Once we got 5 way it took a good hour to get down to 3. From there it was pretty fast.
