I prefer structure based on number of hands and not timed. Of course I don't play SnGs anymore, but I actually preferred PartyPoker in this regard.

FD,
You would def want lower rake there is no reason to not want it. I agree with you about the analogy, however sng players will pay the same rake as cash players and have lower hourly's because the games are tougher and the rake is higher, they also play more tables and contribute more rake to the site.

Get rid of the antes so I can finally feel fully comfortable telling people that "M" has no place in SNG analysis. That, and lower the rake, and hands/level instead of timed. Oh, and you should win stuff by watching.

I agree with others, keep the antes for sure. Possibly add a level as has been mentioned. Also in complete agreement that the rake should be changed. High volume SNG players are paying a ridiculous amount of rake compared to high volume cash players. How many Full Tilt players will jump sites full-time if PS rake is reduced?

Keep the antes. As mentioned before, it'll keep the regulars happy and the fish won't know the difference.

* I don't care if there are antes or not, really

* the jump from BB200 to BB400 is probably too brutal and the one from BB200 to BB200+ante probably too soft.

* the 32+3 (I think) SnG level is a joke and nobody plays on it. Something like 37-40 + 3 would be much better

* I think having 10 players / table would be better than 9

Love the idea of using Party's hands per level structure instead of minutes per level. The stalling has gotten much worse lately.

Please please please do not get rid of antes. I personally like the idea of changing the 100/200/25 to 150/300/25 but it wouldn't be that big a deal really if no one stalled.

Also I prefer the 10 mans to the 9 mans but really I don't care that much either way.

And yeah like everyone else said the rake is ridiculous. Your volume in 500s & up must be about 10% of what it was 8 months ago.
