PartyPoker SNGs
Since a lot of forumers seem to specialize in SNGs more than MTTs or satellites, I was looking forward to trying online SNGs. While I like PartyPoker much more than PokerStars, PartyPoker has the worst SNG system that I have seen so far. It was difficult to figure out the most basic of stuff, such as how to join a table, blind length and fees, but eventually the live customer support was able to make sense out of the mess himself and help me.
The fee information is improperly hidden and difficult to find out before deciding whether to play. From what I have found out so far, none of the $1-$6, DON or Steps are worth playing. Aside from the $200+ SNGs that all_aces plays, has anybody here found decent SNGs at PartyPoker?

Don't think party is a good site for sit n gos. Not much choice at all. And they take the rake out of the prize pool. I'd prefer if they charged the rake separately. Think stars is a much better site for sit n gos. Lots of choice at so many buy in levels and you can even use your points to pay for buy in. I've played a few stt's on party and I don't like it. The steps program on there doesn't seem to bad though especially if you can make it to the end.
the problems are the high rake and fees and ya the lobby is not the best.
plus wsop satellites have started 1 in 4 move on in a couple of levels so i like that very much until you get to the final satellite where it is 1 in 20.
I think you will find them easy to beat; they fill up constantly so no wait time either. Haven't played any in a couple of years but remember they were fun. Also, they take a lot less time than the 10 player which for me is a plus.
On another note, for some reason, I have always enjoyed the CD Poker site; I find it very easy to use and there are always lots of players online. Not sure about rake back, etc. as I only play there with some free money I got from some promo at one time.
Strange thing I have come across there though, SSing each table..most of the sharks and money winners are at the 20 and 30 buck level. 50buck doesn't have near as many...
Good play all the way through, use standard SnG strategy and they are very profitable.
Plus you get rake back, which makes a big difference in ROI
The players are pretty standard and I find that I get a 50/50 mix of losing players and good players.
I have tried party and the found the gamble to be much bigger, you make it into the money but are usually >3-1 outstacked as whichever donkey has been gambling through the whole tourney is the leader with a huge stack
