Alex... sorry to respond so late... been partying too much in Costa Rica...

1. Yes, the same crappy players that play the rings at Party also play the SNGs
2. Their SNG structure sucks bigtime: blinds increase by # of hands, not time, and you only get 800 chips, making everyone play more reckless...

If you can put up with the variance, and the wild & crazy play (ie... one $50 SNG I played, I had 4 people go allin on the 1st hand)... You can make some money...

Personally, I like Bodog... the players aren't as bad as Party, but they're still pretty bad, and by playing SNGs, you can clear tons of bonus dollars.

Im with MVP here...
I heard about BoDog from him and I have played there exclusively for a few days.
Not only are the SnG's soft so are the cash games, I have made as much in just a few days on BoDog as I did in 2 weeks on UB and Party.
The bonus system on BoDog is much better also.

Be nice to know the fish from the sharks at Bodog? You guys mind PM me your screen names and I'll do like wise?

I've found that FullTilt's SnG's are very soft. There's almost no skill difference (at least to me) in the 5's, 10's and 20's. If you can beat one, you can most likely beat them all.

they're also geared towards the skilled poker player, rather than the luckiest one. Party starts with too few chips, and Prima games blinds go up at an absurd rate so that getting a win is either a matter of being absurdly lucky early to get a huge stack by the final 3, or winning coinflips when everyone has 2-3BB late in the game because the blinds DOUBLE each round. I personally prefer a good setup, to masses of idiots and bad beat suckouts. I always felt "rushed" at Party, and I don't like the super aggro blinds at Prima. Some people like to either double up or play another game though, so it just depends on your style of play and personal preference maybe.

however, most people hate FullTilt's bonus policy (even though you can get it by playing SnG's which you can't on most other sites) and their cash games are pretty poor from my experience, so it's not a 'well rounded' site if you're looking for weak competition all around.

Telex... I played at FTP, but it took me FOREVER to play a SNG... Kinda like Interpoker, or some of the other Cryptos... There just weren't enough players playing SNGs, and I'm TOO impatient to wait 30 minutes to start a game...

I agree with Telex about FT. I like the structure, although the blinds seem to move up a bit faster than Poker Stars. Probably not as many higher limit players for MVP at SNGs. I like the way you can actually track your bonus, so you know when you will get it. And get it I shall with SNGs.
