and fix the rake in the turbos so the percentage decreases as stakes increase. Ideally the rake for SNGs should be capped at like $5 but I don't think you'll go for that.

keep the antes please

Another thing I would like: level sounds/beeps. At the start of a new level, it would make a beep. The higher the level, the higher the beep.

[CheeseMoney]

I would like you to make your beep volume adjustable, since it is [censored] annoying to hear BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP when I have the volume cranked trying to hear FJ whisper into the mic on one of his ICONS videos.

Obviously the #1 issue with SNGs is rake, it's an absolute joke.

Just look at how much money gets spread around at a 25/50 NL table and how much rake gets collected on those 'investments'. A $1050+50 SNG collects over $450/hr which is far more than what they're making in a 25/50 game where there's much more money getting spread around. The 25/50 games will never die out because the rake is effectively so low.

The $555 SNGs and up are dying out and have been for quite some time, because the rake is unbeatable. A SMALL step in the right direction is making these things 10 handed, but still the rake is unbeatable at almost all of these.

The ante structure is fine- the Party structure was better, though. The smart money is in lowering the rake though, the high stakes 16 tablers are willing to pay enough in rake per year to make this change worth Stars' while. Right now I'm shortstacking and pay such little rake per dollar earned compared to when I played SNGs. SNGs are the most profitable way to extrapolate $/hr for a poker site. Do the math and make the changes, I addressed it in a thread linked within this thread.

Here's a graph of the Stars rakes for 9-man turbos. Whoever came up with this must have been mental. May I suggest some kind of 1/x curve might be better than the x^3 affair we have here.

NB Im a bit slow with Excel so the x axis isnt numbered with the actual buy-ins. I used this system:
1 = $3.40
2 = $6.50
3 = $16
etc up to 2190

Keep the antes.

If you change anything it should be to add in a filter for 6max/9max and for turbo/regular games. I hate accidentally registering for the wrong game and this could easily be implemented and make a lot of people (particularly the players who play high volume and pay the most rake) very happy.

[HajiShirazu]

I think you should lower the rake and keep your structure as it is.
