I'm still pretty new to the game, but I personally prefer UB. That's where I got started, so that's part of my preference. I like the slower pace, 1000 chips and 10min blind increases. Maybe this means I tend toward too tight later in the Party games. I've found that 2 table Party SnG's keep a similar pace and they have worked decently for me so far.

I too love the 1000 chip starting stack at UB. Plus the fact that most people play too loose in the first couple of rounds.

Stars seems to be (almost) just a fishy as anyplace else recently. That plus the structure (T1500 to start + timed levels instead of every ten hands) makes it perfect for me. Your mileage may vary.

I agree, for me Stars is the best. 1500 stack size and timed levels give good players a better chance to win. They have excellent software too - love the delays before the turn and river when someone's all-in. On Party all 5 cards come so fast, I don't even realize I lost until my money's gone.

Also, another big benefit with Stars is the 9-person structure of the SNGs. I realize the payouts are a little less but I like only having to beat 6 instead of 7 to get ITM.

I agree with the Poker Stars players. Not only do you get 1500 chips and 10 min levels, but if you like a shorter game, the 12+1 and 35+3 six handed tables are awesome!!!

At the 12+1, you are up agaist 5 others with a 1500 stack and a bunch LAG's. It a perfect combination for getting ITM.

As picky as it is, this is probably my #1 complaint about partypoker SNGs. I don't see why they have it that way.

Has anyone ever done the math to find out how this effects overall profit? Sure I could do a search, but I'm being lazy.

That's funny, to me this is one of the best aspects of Party's software. Once there are no more decisions to be made, I just like to see all the cards flash up and then on to the next hand (or the next SNG).
