Default Re: 1-table S&Gs - your feedback requested

1) Deep Stacked SNGs. Perhaps 3000+ starting chips, 15+ minute levels, no antes. Note these are NOT designed to be profitable for 20-tabling pushbots. You'd probably complain their hourly rate is too small. But the idea of an "elimination cash game" where you get to play deep stacked and still knock people off seems fun. Perhaps at the higher levels it could be more profitable than typical SNGs: if you're deepstacked the whole time, there is a higher skill aspect which could allow for considerably more than rake-beating ROIs to exist, making up for the extra time they take.

2) Like mentioned before, 10x BB SNGs as a contrast. If SNGs are designed to mainly be based around pushbotting, why do there have to be levels where they play basically like a cash game? Make the whole thing basically a pushfest by say, starting the thing off at the 50/100 level. Maybe with an ante of 10 right off the bat.

3) Rake at the micros is way too high. Yes, I understand you'd want to incentive people to play at the higher rake producing games. But having rake on $1s DOUBLE the standard low stakes rake is taking it too far. $1 + 0.15 is a reasonable compromise.

4) The gap between standard 9 man micro stakes SNGs is too big - $1 quintupling to $5. At least one more level in between would be good. Maybe a 9 man regular $3 + 0.40, precedent taken from from the 10 man turbo. $2.20 + 0.30 maybe? Just something to reduce the size of the gulf, which is no more than 2x the level anywhere else.

5) Super micro stakes something? Let some fish (maybe future sharks) who got a tiny cash in a freeroll play something other than a big MTT (which you add money to incidently, so it's not like you seemed concerned about rake with these). Maybe... a $0.20 + 0.05 45 man or similar so they can win a few dollars. Give them more of an opportunity to attempt a Chris Ferguson-style zero to hero dream.
