Interesting. I have not played yet - but was planning to play tonight. My only problem with the former structure was that if you lost to a draw or whatever early on (down 400-500) you were on the ropes from then on.

Am I just retarded? Originally UB started you with a stack of 100BB, now it's 75BB... Isn't that more likely to put you "on the ropes" if you take an early bad beat?

I was thinking of the slower blind progression, but if they are still at 7 min, you are correct - Good point.

UB added a new wrinkle to their SNG's today. Turbo sng's! Blinds go up every 5 min. Yuk. Didn't notice unitil I was involved in one.

Ah. I didn't think of the slower progression, although I could have sworn they bumped it from 7 to 9 or 10 a while back.... I really should pay more attention. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I play them on stars...not necessarily for latter reason (bad players are everywhere), but mainly bc there are enough players out there who dont understand bubble play to make them worthwhile time wise.

UB offers 10-, 6- and 2-seat SnGs.

Practically all the NL MT tourneys seem to be turbo these days too. I think they should have a 'slow' 100$ one on a weekend or something, an all day affair.
