Party, WOW...buhbye Stars

The new sng structure is great -- not Stars great, but better than old Party great.

They also added 6 handed sngs at every buy-in level, man I AM DROOLING. Stars 6 handeds are so very soft, Party's have to be even better. Stars only has 6 handeds up to $38 that aren't turbos. I see no reason to play on Stars any longer except for the occasional MTT.

I'll report after I try some of these 6 handeds at the $30-$50 levels.

    I didn't mind the old party structure, but I can wait 30 hands and play push poker. There are still a few sites that have a structure similiar to the old party ( pacific poker.com) so I can do the push botting there. Most other sites now actually require you to play a little poker..... what a concept. I haven't played 6 handed so I can't comment there.

    My first 6 handed sng and this was the first hand (I finished first).
    Remeber, you get ALOT more play in these than the old Party structure.

    Party 6handed sngs are as soft as I had hoped, even moreso than the stars 6max sngs.

    Playing 2-3 at a time (sometime a stud8 or omaha8 for variety), a brief report.

    $22 6max 60 sngs, ITM 80%, ROI 96.36% -- holy sheet!
    $33 6max 50 sngs, ITM 64%, ROI 53%
    $55 6max 57 sngs, ITM 69%, ROI 75%

    Yaya, I know this is a small sample, but this is a preliminary report, I'll update again next month.

    So far the 33s seem to be the toughest, not just from the #s, but just the feel of them while playing...seems to be a larger population of solid and patient players there. The 55s are more aggressive and maniac riddled, which is great for a 6handed elimination game. The 22s are just softsoftsoft, playing ABC poker works pretty well there.

    Stars sngs actually have more play. Recent 2+2 post compared the two structures and found this out.

    Yeah, that's true, but they don't have the Party donks. The Party 6handed are a bit shorter, but that just means more $/h if you have decent results. THey are muchhhhhhhhh better than the old structure which I wouldn't even bother playing. The other good thing about the 6max games is they go all the way up to $109, whereas Stars are $38 then $109 turbos which are a brutal structure (for me at least).

    Ok, I have to ask as I notice this a while ago...19yro female?

    Yes.

    Edit: Were you just looking for confirmation or are you asking something else?

    GTA ,

    Thanks for the heads up, I gave up party ages ago. I read your posts and went back to play those $55 SnG's. So far I am 6/6 in the money.

    Thanks man

    I do pretty well at the 10 seaters..

    but im doing horribly at 6 max so far..

    can you give some pointers ?

    how does strategy change ?

    lower starting hand requirements i imagine ? (i know phil gordon has a chart for this)

    when do you start opening up ? what blind level ?

    how many do we wait to go out first before opening up ?
