B&M SNGs: Availability, Rake, ... ?

[Collin Moshman]

Hi Guys,

For those of you who have played live B&M SNGs -- standard 3 persons paid format rather than, say, a qualifier to a major event -- could you comment on their availability (where have you found them offered?), common rakes, structures, and levels of competition?

Also, were you allowed to choose your own seat, or was it randomly determined?

Thanks in advance for all replies.

Best Regards,
Collin
