The $16s on Stars are unusually tough for their buyin.

What do you think about the difference between 16's and 27's. I've been playing mostly 16's but throwing in a few 27's and haven't really noticed much difference, but my sample size is very small. You seem like you have played a few.

I found UB SNG hard to play because of their horrible re-designed table selection interface, and I used to play there all the time.

You can play as many tables at once as you like on PS. It's a bit harder to play 8+ at once though, because firstly they fill up a little slower, and secondly there's only one at a limit open for registration at once.

I was frustrated at the $16s for awhile, mostly breaking even, before I took a shot at the $27s and started winning. Variance? Maybe. I suck? Probably. But I'm not the only one I know who thinks the $16s are unusually hard.

The $6.50s are a complete joke.

There is going to be typically a little more variance in a turbo type structure, so unless you have large samples at both (16s and 27s), then it is difficult to say "how much" more difficult the 27s are.

An educated guess on my part would say that, for the money, the 27s are a better deal because they are not THAT much more difficult than the 16s...but obviously are to some extent. Though I wouldnt even play the 27s without a roll of at least 900-1000...I have had a couple of downswings of 20+ buy-ins...And when A huge chunk of profit is constantly going to MTT buy-ins, things can get hairy from time to time.

Playing at stars is going to be a lot different than party. There is no comparison w/ 16's to the 11's on party.

Becuase of the t1500 starting stacks there is more preflop play, which can make it more difficult.

As far as comparing the 16's to 27's, the 27's are obvously harder. Expect the blinds to get higher with more people still in more often than a 16.

I played 50 6.50s to adjust to the PS turbo format and they were a ton of fun and extremely profitable (70% ITM [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]). I had virtually no BR on stars so I thought the 6.5s would kill 2 birds...

So far the 16s are much of the same although tighter in my opinion but with the same horrible calling standards and lack of pushbotting experience.

I pretty much got sick of trying to build my roll on the 6.50s and played a Turbo 11r sat to last Sunday's 500k, won that, unregistered, instant BR.

I still find multi-tabling on stars difficult after 100 tournys or so. The action interface is too small IMO and the random seating is a pain.

more preflop play? I guess you mean postflop but thats not true b/c they are talking about turbos
