Default Re: Stars v. Party

I made a post about a week ago comparing Stars and Partys structures. Even though Stars starts with more chips (1500 vs 1000) you get blinded off faster in Stars due to higher starting blinds, 9 player tables and antes.

So with Stars you have to be more aggressive and more willing to steal, resteal and make other bold moves.

In Party you can be much more patient and wait for better hands.

What about the impact of the level changes? Stars lets you play 10 minutes per level, while Party only gives you 10 hands. Especially once you lose about half the table, you get a TON more hands per level at Stars. I'd say at least twice as many.
