Draw and 2-7 SNGs now available at PokerStars
 

As of today, Stars has single table (6 player) SNGs in both PL five-card draw and limit deuce-to-seven triple draw lowball. They pay 2 spots (65%/35% split). The available buyins are $1, $5, $10, and $20. Most of the action I saw was in the $1s.

I played a $5.50 in each game and won boh. They take at least an hour. The play in the draw was decent and tight after we knocked out the first 2 players. The play in the 2-7 was retarded.

Big Limpin, I'll trade you all my secret Draw Knowledge for All your Secret SNG knowledge. Draw is my best game, and I need SnGs to rebuild my bankroll.
Ahh...

Unlike everybody else in the known universe (evidently), I didn't win either of the first two TD SNGs I played. I got 2nd in a $5 and 6th (yup, first out) in a $1.

Exercise: what is the minimum number of games and players such that everybody can claim to have won one of their first two 6-player SNGs?

P.S. I prefer limit donkaments. Insert spirited defense of limit here!

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but can I ask why? Maybe there's a facet that I'm missing. The thing I don't like about limit tournaments is that getting a good hand early is less valuable than it is later. This is true also in NL/PL, but to a smaller margin.
