Re: 1-table $30 + $3.....Stars vs Party comparison
I play a lot at both, I have found multiple tables at the $30 level might give me the best win rate.
Although it seems extremely counterinuitive, I agree that in many respects having less chips makes bad players play worse. The two tourneys definitely have different skill sets, I think of PP as wham bam thank you maam poker.
As for the luck aspect, my gut feeling (and I may well be wrong) is neither has more or less long term luck, you may have a bit more variation per game in the PP format because of less chips and the reality that you will face an all in or two (usually with the best of it) but I think over x number of games (say 500) the good and bad luck evens out.
The players are much much much worse at PP and the games easier to join.
I may be in the minority but at PP I think the $30 games are much easier to beat than the $50 games due to the horrendous play you will find.
