I was wondering where people play SnGs and why they play there.
As for myself, I´ve been playing the 10´s at Pacific, but I´m gonna switch to stars very soon, cuz the play at Pacific is so fishy and erratic - and I dont like the structure either. |

| Bodog. Starts with 1k chips, and the blind structure is very nice. For me at least. Its slower than Pp and faster than Stars. |

| strangely enough I've had by far the most success on Party, even if it becomes a crapshoot. people tend to pay off your big hands, at least at the 10/1 level. |

| I really like stars. I can adjust to changing blinds really well, so various speeds don't bother me too much. It's the large amount of starting chips they give you (1.5k) that I love. |

| I mostly play stars, as it gives me enough time to pwn people. |

| I play on PokerStars. Party Poker sucks! Bodog is pretty good but it takes awhile for a table of 10 to start.....not nearly as many players on Bodog as the other sites. |

Another vote for Stars. I enjoy the large chip stack at the start. Gives you plenty of time to develop reads as well as catch good hands without serious pressure.
Sometimes fishy at lower levels, but I tend to get great hands paid of by TPTK all the time.
I also play Party Poker for it's Mini-steps. I like working from the $20 table up to the 5th level. Great learning experience with a good variety of players at each level. |

I used to play Stars (better structure, etc) but switched to Party this week because I don't like NL and the 10+1 LHE at Stars take 30 mins - 2 hours to start, and those at Party Poker take at most 3 minutes to fill up. So far so good.
Anyone else here doing the LHE at Party? There's never any strategies on the board about them... I'm guessing someone must be playing them since there are so many of them starting up. |

Party, but they are a totaly crapshoot.
I'm looking to get out of there and find a more skil orientated play structure, it sounds like Stars might be my spot. |

| Aces, why do you play on party and not on stars like almost everybody else? Is it the structure that you like? |

Stars. Aftering playing on stars then going back and playing Prima, you notice how sick the blinds are. Want to try Parties as well  |

Stars! UB is OK too but I find the action above 20 to be pretty sparce.
If you want to 'try' party, just play a turbo at Stars or UB and give away half your chips on the first hand. |

| even tho i have been playing predominantly play money sng's, i like the way absolute poker is set up. you dont have everyone going all in on the first hand of a play money sng, and it seems like ppl actually play like they are playin for real money. i also love the freerolls they have....just about every half hour. |
