Default Ultimate Bet SNGs (rant)

OK I'm steaming and need to get a few things off the chest and hopefully hear about your experiences as well! When the UB SNG promo started 7/1 I figured "Wow I'll clear 2k in bonus $$ easy!" I had never played UB SNGs before this promo only PP. I quickly found out that wouldn't be easy at all and likely it would be $500 in bonus at most. Reasons:

1) PP SNG= 40-70 mins, UB SNG= 60-100 mins
2) Play more than 2 SNGs at the same time= insanity
3) Level of play= rocks so dense they should be called "lead"

Anyone else pulling their hair out over these things??? I made the fatal mistake of playing 3 SNGs at once like I do regularly on PP. Oh my god it popped up windows so often my head started spinning around like in Poltergeist (or was that the Exorcist?) Every time I even tried to hit call or fold it would pop up another screen before I could do it. I went on tilt not from the action but from the SITE! That and the fact it can take nearly 2 freaking hours to finish one is just hideous. Once I hit these issues with the 10 player SNGs, I moved to the 6 players to see if that would help any. Here's a normal 6 player SNG: The 2 maniacs are gone within 10 minutes. Within another 10 minutes it's down to 3 players. The remaining 3 players act like they're at the final table of the WSOP and it takes another 40 minutes to get into the $$. The blinds are still so low when you reach 2 players it gets so boring that I fall asleep. It gets so old that it kills my play, I think I'm around 10% ROI for the month on there. What is up with these things? And more pressing... will anyone continue playing them after July is over? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
