This possibly might have been addressed before but I didnt look past the first page to see if it has.

Why are the heads up hypers not counted towards the sit and go challenge? Its under the sng tab, Im assuming that its heads up in general. Which is frustrating bc the only thing that gets any traffic for this promo is the jackpot poker. Running at EV and being +20 buyins in total chips won and being stuck around $2k over 300 games is lol. Im sure getting winning a massive jackpot might make them close to profitable but me personally I'm not a fan.

Just curious if there was a specific reason for this type of game being excluded.

Thanks

Being honest, as im sure your aware. HU is the worst form of poker for any given site.

If we added it to snc its very easily exploitable and also would be bad for the poker economy in general

HU cash is the worst form of poker for sites, sure. And regspeed husngs aren't particularly good, either. But I don't know if hyper husngs (or even turbos) fall into that category -- good regs win at <8% in turbos and <4% in hypers pre-rb at reasonable stakes, less vs regs. This is doesn't seem bad for rooms and is absolutely not comparable to the >20bb/100 some hucash bumhunters are able to take from fish.

Re policing collusion -- this might be a minor concern, but I don't think it'd be too difficult to spot and prevent suspicious activity (ex. 2 accounts flipping hundreds of games against each other).

It may be bad for the snc economy, but not because fast husngs are a particularly bad game for the sites to spread I think. I'd be happy if you pointed out where I'm wrong here Winning_TD; obviously I don't have access to any site internals but my impression has always been that high-speed husngs are pretty good for sites to run. Of course I know that slower hu formats are not so great because of absurdly high edges relative to rake.
