FWIW, I feel the rake is more than fair on all of the lower stakes sit and gos, but on the high ones it's absolutely ludicrous. Anyone with any skill should be able to beat the 27s and even 60s for a real pretty penny, but after that the player pool is good enough that only the very top players are making any money at all, so people leave SNGs, then the games get tougher, then more people leave, rinse, wash, repeat.

Note that the 1050s and 2190s virtually never run anymore and at times I saw 7 2190s running at once before. The 555s are dying out very quickly and usually aren't running, and lately the 335s haven't been running much either.

I did send a very large email to Stars explaining all this and much more and had a response saying that it would be forwarded to whatever department. Nobody got back to me.
