150/300 level isnt as big a deal as you think it is. More 10 and 18 player sngs are important, because the difference between 9 players and 10 players is significant in regards to rake. 18 player sngs start to become very beatable.

Rake is absurdly high for SNGs as well as 6-max sngs and HU sngs. Rake should be based upon how many hands you are dealt, so there's no reason why you should pay roughly the same rake for a SNG as an MTT.

Also the SNG leaderboard is a bad idea because people will share accounts. Better would be individual goal bonuses based on number of SNGs played per week/month, etc, if you're not willing to reduce the rake across the board. People who play high volume SNGs should get rewards aside from Supernova.

Stars should be more micro-stakes friendly.
And as always, we're looking for a delicious Rakeback.

As for Micro-stakes friendly, 20% rakes for the $1 SnG's is outrageous.

What would also be nice is $1 HU SnGs and even 1c/2c HU tables.

There should also be $1 turbos. I believe currently the lowest turbo is $3?

I'm a bit amazed at how little most in this thread realize how a 10 v 9 payout structure effects and has effected winrates. Everybody is just used to single digit roi's now I guess.

Why are 100% ROIs attainable in 1000 person tournaments but not 9 player tournaments? It's all relative. Increasing the player pool generally helps immensely.

Being a 9-man tourney drops the possible ROI and makes the rake that much more of a factor. The rake is already taking away 30-90% of your edge against other players so any small changes really effect a players' ability to make money.

Why not? I find that the 'bet pot' button on UB causes fish to make terrible bet sizing errors, particularly early game.

I think it's more often the other way around. Fish play closer to correct when they don't get to pick their bet sizes and just mash the pot button.

Agree on this. Especially if they're raising after a limper or two

I don't like ten mans. Ten mans = less skill required since you end up folding more hands yet the sng takes the same amount of time, so there are less profitable plays to be made = less edge for the good player.
