Default Party vs Crypto

Hi all,

I haven't played many SNGs on Party - I usually play on Crypto. Because I multi-table and it's so slow filling up on Crypto I thought I'd give Party another go. It's the first time for me with the new SNG structure. I played my normal game and got aggressive on the bubble and then realised the blinds were going up at a crawl. Power to the better player, less of a crap-shoot, but the games take so much longer.

I haven't played enough yet on Party to see what the hourly rate is like and was wondering if there's anyone that has played both the new Party structure and Crypto. What is the difference with the hourly rate?

To tell the truth I prefer Crypto, but might consider switching to Party if at a better rate.

Thanks.

/tees

You are aware that they have Speeds at Party, right? Those are among the fastest around and since it's Party they fill up in a second.

Ah yes, I saw there were speeds. I'll give then a go. Is there a general consensus on what the best games are speeds or normal?

so the party blind levels changed from 10 hands to 10 minutes. did the structure change at all ???
if i recall correctly they went from 1k chips with 10-20 to 2k chips with 20-40 which would mean that there's nothing at all different.

Try the Turbos on Full Contact Poker. Ridiculous.

I also observed some on Royal Vegas with blinds that went up every 2 hands I believe. RoulettePoker.
