I actually wish they WOULDN'T have lower buy ins for these things. The players are playing them like cheap SNG's. The players who happen to have smaller skill levels might be more inclined to move down limits if they are offered. Which makes for tougher games at the 20's or above (if they offer them).

I'm pretty sure it's not lower buy-in's schwza wants

The one listening to it's customers: Pokerstars

[/ QUOTE ]

if they were really listening, they'd have other buy-in levels.

I quote "....look out for other tournaments with similar formats in the coming weeks. Have fun"

And notice that it's "have fun", it's not "enjoy!"

cool, thanks for passing that on.

Man, this is awesome. What a great idea. Finally a chance to play MTTs without having to make such a huge time commitment.

What do you think the chances are we will see a 10 dollars or even a GASP 1 dollar one? The one dollar ones would be sweet to play in for us beginning players.

I took first a week or so ago, and it took right about 4 to 4 1/2 hrs. Not too bad compared to some larger MTTs

I've only played two of these, but I'll echo the thoughts of others:

I have NEVER seen such horrid play in the $20 SNG's, whether it be 1 or 2 tables. Those playing these games are usually players looking to slowly build a bankroll playing the $20's consistently until their roll is good to move up a level.

The 180 personn SNG's seem to be a lottery for a lot of the entrants. They see the big prize at the end, they see it titled a SNG, and take many more chances than they would normally.

Again, I've only played two, but every flush draw was chased, gutshots called all the time, et cetera....

I'm such a big fan of having these all day on the weekends. I sometimes have 5 hours to do a tourney but 3 hours is much more managable.

Thank you Stars!

Brad

It was a really long battle. Once we got 5 way it took a good hour to get down to 3. From there it was pretty fast.
