Question for those horrified by Party's 20% juice

[Windbreaker]

If two products are basically identical and but one is like 10% more expensive than another...what would you buy?

Aside from the whole cost thing, Party SNG's are one of the biggest crap shoots out there. The blinds going up so quickly means players depend more on luck than skill than a SNG on say like Stars.

On top of all that, you can clear bonuses and other sorts on SNG's at Stars, Bodog, Pokerroom, Full Tilt, etc. Which means the difference in the rake is even more.

Sure 50 cents isn't much once in a while, but if you continue to pay an additional rake over the course of a month it can add up to be a little bit.

Party's SNGs may be more of a "crap shoot" if that's what you like to call it, but if you are a good player, you should still be able to make more money on the Party SNGs.

The simple reason is that they conclude quicker than the stars tourney, which improves your hourly.

I think the general consensus is that if you think you are good enough to play in the $5+1 SNGs, you might as well play in the $10+1 SNGs, no difference in skill level.
