Another thing is that happy hours seem too unfair, I could see maybe 1.25x across more hours...but 2x for a few hours of the day is just too lopsided. And Sit n Crush isn't even the correct term these days, it should be named Jackpot n Crush because grinding as many jackpots as possible during happy hours is a ridiculous amount of points and allows for well over 100% rakeback.
The effective rakeback for the top 100-120 is way too high honestly and the site would be better off trying to encourage a larger group of players to put in some volume weekly. Even just lowering payouts a small amount and removing the $55 tickets would allow for a few smaller payout tiers below the current lowest $50 payout tier. Seems better to try and grow a poker economy from the bottom up rather than the top down, right?
Also it would be a bit more fair to add more tiers to avoid people who stop playing when they get just enough points for a certain tier because they know they have no chance to reach the next highest one. Maybe wpn should just replace the tiers with a dynamic payout system that gives each place a specific % of the SnC prize pool, similar to how an mtt pays out. Mainly because I'm trying to imagine if an mtt paid out like the SnC does currently and it seems like a pretty bad experience.
Any idea what 2.0 will be like or any kind of a time-frame yet?
Can't really say anything about SNG 2.0 yet. Sounds like they're planning to release it within 90 days, according to the post linked below.
