    The SNGs are a way for SBR to rake back some of the poker points given out. They're getting 10% of the first two entry price levels.

    I am playing one right now and it really feels like a good paced game. the blinds are not too fast. I think it is because they are baseing it on a number of hands per blind and not time based.

    Anyways, we are approx. 30mins in and it is only now getting to all in mode at 100-200.

    Pace was about right for the one I played in as well, based on number of hands looks good so far.

    We need turbo SnG's not hour and half long tournament with 10 tight asses.
    I think Sbr and players would both benefit from turbo SnG's.
    This is way to slow.
    And all in disconnect protection is necessary!

    Why would he be wasting his time scavenging for betpoints then? There's no way its comparable to what he could be making in real money.

    sng's need to be 5 seaters, 10 person ones suck. I am not gonna play a sit and go for 2 hours.

    Right now we have two settings we can offer.

    The regular 10 hand per level, or, 5 hands per level. 10 hands per level averages about 8 minutes depending on the play, which is still 2 minutes shorter than what you see at Poker Stars.

    If we get enough requests, we'll roll out some 5 hand per level turbos, but that's going to go extremely quickly.

    I've played 4 SNG's now. Once you get to about 6-7 ppl, it goes real quick. I like 10 hands/level once you get to the middle/end of game. Maybe starting blinds should be a little higher 50/25, that would speed it up.

    5 Hands per level would be better, just my opinion

    If you ask me im for 5h/level. But this is just my opinion.
    Is there option to split Sng's in regular 10h/level mode and turbo and maybe even super turbo,like some places have?
