Default Prediction: Swings will be crazy at the speeds

This is what I think anyway.

Calling ranges seem to have gone way down and many times there are 300/600 blinds with 8 players left= crapshoot.

The slow $11s from my sample of nine tourneys seem to be utterly simple. My longest one was only 67 mins and second longest was 62 mins so they are still going to be quicker and easier than stars.

If there were no variance, there would be no fish.

I feel the same way about the normal ones. They seem easy. The turbos are interesting but not that difficult.

It's almost the same structure, but at PS you get less starting chips (1500).

No, there are enough sharks trying to earn VPPs as it is over there. Why do you think durron, bluefeet, HesseJam are jumping ship? They're smarter than me, that's why.

Actually they're very different, the blinds hit 200-400 at level 5 in the Party speeds, when the Stars turbos are at 75-150.

I still haven't played since the changes but the reasons that you list seem like they would impact ROI much more than variance. Are you suggesting that ROI will be lower which will lead to worse downswings?
