Default Poker Stars $10 180 player SNG is gone :(

Forgive me if someone else already touched on this, but I didn't see anything in here about it. I can't believe Poker Stars removed the popular $10 180 player SNG with a crapshoot $11 turbo 180. This to me is a way for Stars to make 3x the rake in the same time span with the 5 minute blinds in the turbo tourney. I'm not sure how many other 2+2 players are upset about this, but I think it really sux. If they want to have a turbo 180 player that is fine, but not at the expense of the $10 180 player one.

True that, but the $20 ones take a freaking hour to fill up, I like the SNG's when I don't want to wait around for MTT's to begin, waiting for the $20 ones to fill is like watching paint dry. LOL!

Hopefully the $20's will draw more people now that the $10's are gone.

look in mTTc for the thread on this.

this is the best of both worlds 20s will fill up way faster the 10s will attract a new player base to 180s that will eventually filter to the 20s as well.

Next is the 5$ rebuy 180s.

I rank that a 7 on my jizz-o-meter.

FYI, Natalie Portman is a 7.25.

$5 rebuy 180 would be super hot, have rebuy SNG's ever been done on any other site?? If the $20 180's fill up much quicker we maybe we'll see the original 180 baller playing 20+ at once like the old days??

I stopped doing that mostly cuz FTP added soo mant sick tourneys. Plus I am too lazy to get off my laptop and thus can't get over 20 tables going when its 4 diff sites just too hard to keep tables clean.

FYI, the $10s took a long ass time to feel up anyway. But I did prefer the $10/180 regulars.
