$22 SNG... Party or bodog

#1 12-13-2005, 12:36 PM

I actually think the competition is softer at bodog if that is possible and i like the 1000 starting chips at this level... but party fills up quicker.

Anyone here play both, what do you think is the better option.

I have a better ITM and better ROI in bodog, but they seem slow to fill up

$ per Hour?

Your sample at Bodog may just be too small or due to your edge in having 1,000 chips.

I find it hard to believe anything is softer than Party, but I'm willing to hope . . . Need to clear some new deposit bonuses . . .

The reason bodog is slightly softer than Party is because you have more time to hunt and kill your prey in the early levels. OP is making a mistake in assuming the extra 200 chips is why it's better. It's the structure. That being said, there is more $/hr on Party.

Do the blinds rise less slowly and/or start off lower?

Have not figured out $/hour.. but both take about 45 minutes to win one

i think bodog takes a chunk longer than party, and that they both take well over 45 mins to win. 45 mins on average to play one at party sounds roughly right.

Bodog's games are likely to finish at the same level of quickness, because of the structure. At the last level, blinds are 400/800, which is extraordinarily painful. but the $/hr point is a direct reference to how quickly games fill up. Even if you single table, you could wait 1 min to 15 mins for a game to fill. My experience there is playing the $33s and $55s.

But the early levels are unbelievably slow. And there are numerous gambools too early. The structure starts out:

5/10
10/20
15/30
30/60
50/100

It's been a little while since I played there. L3 might be different, but L4 is certainly 30/60. Besides the extra cheap round early, there's just a ton of mistakes on the 30/60 round.

I believe that Bodog is softer as well at the 22s especially and not just because of the structure. The 3-table limit and lack of RB (until recently) kept the TAG multitablers away. I recently made a deposit there to switch from 8 tables at party to 5 party 3 bodog but found that the $$/hr was not much different all things considered. Plus Party, Bodog, PT and PAHUD do not play nicely together even with a gig of RAM.
