New Party Sit n Gos suck.

[Hauser_III]

The increased number of starting chips isn't the bad part of the new structure. What's bad is the time limit per level. Before, you had 10 hands per level, and now you have 5 minutes per level. The stallers can now make the early levels almost meaningless, by limiting the number of hands that are played, and thus turn the middle levels into a basic crapshoot of who gets the cards. Playing the middle rounds with a full table of 8 is a lot more difficult than doing it with the 4 or 5 that used to be left after round 3 (or round 4 at the latest).
