Party SNG's

Playing deep stack poker requires actual skill. Which none of us have time to develop, cuz we are busy making money.

FYP

OP - Party structure doesn't suck, it's just a different game. Bubble play at any structure is what's important, all else pales.

It's not a matter of feelings, it's a matter of math. $/hr is higher in Party tournies for most posters here, so Party tournies dominate the discussion. ROI is higher in the situation you describe, but Stars tournies take longer, so $/hr is lower. Some people play Stars because they like it more. So... just play Stars then. And leave us wallowing in our poker subclass with our massive hourly rates, ok? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I hear what you're saying. I suppose playing style comes into effect here as well. I like to have as much time as possible with deeper stacks because that's where I have the biggest edge, so my hourly rate is higher in those tourneys.
But if you're better at short stack play then I suppose the party SNG's are a better fit. I still think they do it just to scam us though.

I very, very much doubt that this is true.

To OP. I started playing SNGs at Stars I didn't like was fast the blinds crept up on my stack, but after a while of reading and posting on these forums, you'll soon discover than more money can be made on Party SNGs with the proper strategy. But for many, Stars may be a better place to start at and develop some skills.

I don't care why they do it, if it's better for me.

What is your strategy for Party SNG's?

How many party SNG's do you guys play at once?

I think that you're wrong on both accounts.

First (and perhaps least wrong), I don't think playing style has as much of an influence as you think. It isn't as if the best SNG players in the world choose to play on Party because they don't have the ability to adapt their playing style. Perhaps an inability to adapt YOUR playing style results in a higher $/hr at Stars for you. And yes-- I really think that the best SNG players in the world are at Party.

Secondly, I think that it's wrong to say that Party's structure is designed solely to screw the player. It's a mutally beneficial relationship. PokerStars even had to create their "Turbo" SNGs because of DEMAND, and a desire to try to compete with what was by far the most popular format.
