What about SNG Improvements? What about SNG Improvements?

Right now the SNG environment needs a lot of improvements...

Traffic is almost non-existent.

The lowest buy-in is $1.50+12c Turbos and you have to wait a hour for them to fill.

Here is a couple of ideas:

Add $1.10 and $2.20 buy-in 9 player standard type SNG's.

Add Satellite SNG's to the nightly $10K with maybe $3 buy-ins.

Maybe a couple of small Steps series like 50c to $2 to $4 to $8 to $15 to $30 to the Sunday $50K or a $150, $75, $45 Cash payout?

Or add some similar steps SNG's to the nightly $10K

Maybe add some more PLO and PLO/8 SNG's

Anything done different to the SNG schedule will help, whether it is smaller buy-ins, satellite tickets or step series SNG's.

Consider reducing the rake on 6m and 9m Hyper-turbos. It is essentially unbeatable and much higher than all competitor's for buyins at $5 and up.

Adding more sngs will only cause the existing traffic to be spread even more, the solution is to remove sngs.

Thank you for the suggestions. We think the reason the traffic is non-existent is because the current lobby is pretty bad. The new lobby should really improve this and allow people to navigate better.

We’ll take a look at this and see where we’re falling down. We strive to make all our fee’s/rake competitive, if not better than the competition. So we’ll definitely check this out.

When the new software will be launched. There is no exact ETA set right now as mentioned a couple of times in the official support threads.

+1

Drop all the way down to one type of SNG and then if there is enough liquidity at a given buyin level then you can consider adding more types.

i think changing the structure and the level the antes come in would be a huge difference in improving the sngs

So I just started grinding HU sngs on the site and the rake looks a little uneven. At the lowest stakes of Hyper turbos HU sngs you have a $2.40 with 14 in rake and then the next buy in is $6 with .18 in rake? Can you please look at not only adjusting the rake to make it a little more fair for the lower stakes but maybe look at adding a buy in in between the 2? (I.E. when in doubt copy stars buy ins/rake?)

Thanks

This, and add some stud, studhilo, and maybe some mixed game SNG's as well. Any chance of this happening anytime soon?

so the sng traffic is dead on black chip? I play a lot of 10 dollar sngs i was going to try it out today but from what im reading there is no traffic? You definitely need to change the software so people can find the sngs. I had hard time finding them you have to click several tabs to find heads up sngs. If you can make the tabs in different colors besides everything being blue that would help. And also work on a 4 color deck so we don't get confused on the suits.

The Stud cash tables never run so far, what makes you think this would be the case for SNG given the overall low SNG traffic?

They have an existing 4 color deck?

I'm a SNG player and only reason I don't play on Winning Network is because of the horrible traffic of SNGs on there and the the fact that there isn't a preferred seating option. For a while I would sit in a bunch of games to try to get ppl to sit down with me but to no avail. Hope the new software gets SNGs up and going on here. I'll play them the second they do.
07-22-2013 , 05:17 PM
Now that the software is better, can you guys improve the sng's so there can be some traffic? There is barely any traffic for hyper turbos and all other types of sng's...
07-22-2013 , 06:32 PM
reduce rake on SNG

If there were 4 man HU SNG's with a winner take all structure that would be great. Loved playing those at Stars.
07-23-2013 , 10:06 PM
Seriously reduce the rake on hypers, run some type of promo for sngs to get some traffic going. I don't think leader board is the answer though.
07-24-2013 , 09:04 PM
reduced rake and 2 or 3 dollar DoNs would be nice...
07-25-2013 , 03:00 AM
SNG scene is indeed pretty brutal.

It's made me completely overhaul my sleep schedule.
07-26-2013 , 06:23 PM
i wish there was more action on the sngs
07-29-2013 , 10:31 PM
there are many turbo sngs missing at many levels.
