Heads-Up Sit and Go Structures

BorinLoner

There you are: Broad agreement.

With only three responses I'm not sure we'll be changing the face of Sky Poker. Good result for me though: Only one third of people hate me!

I'd like to draw attention to the structures of heads-up sit and go's.

Hyper: 500 chips, 2 minute blinds.
Turbo: 1000 chips, 2 minute blinds.
Regular: 1500 chips, 10 minute blinds.

I find the turbo's to be a little too fast structured but the regulars to be far too slow. It would be better, in my opinion, if the gap between them was closed a tad. For example:

Hyper: 500 chips, 2 minute blinds.
Turbo: 1000 chips, 2 minute blinds.
Regular: 1500 chips, 6 minute blinds.

Am I the only one that dislikes the current structures? Shall I keep my moans to myself?


EDIT: Hyper and turbo blind levels corrected

I've given you the benefit of the doubt and voted to say I agree, but I do only partly agree.

I agree that the regulars are painfully slow and definitely need to be faster, but I really don't think the Turbos are too fast. There is absolutely tons and tons of play in Turbos. It is called a turbo for a reason, I only think people might have a problem with them because if they don't wanna play that fast, their only other option is to play at a snail's pace.

I wouldn't change the turbos. They're perfectly playable. I just would prefer something a little slower than a turbo that doesn't take twenty minutes to reach 25/50.

Keep the turbos and speed up the regs... or add a fourth game to cover the middle ground.

As a reg speed player I agree that the structure could certainly be improved to make it move more quickly whilst maintaining a relatively deep structured HUSNG. I agree with your 6 minute blind structure but feel some tweaking with the current blind levels would also need to be made. I think the best structure would be of that currently on Stars:

6 min blinds starting at 10/20 moving through 15/30; 20/40; 25/50; 30/60; 40/80; 50/100; 60/120; 75/150; 100/200; 125/250; 125/250; 150/300; 200/400 etc.

Rather than the current 10/20; 15/30; 25/50; 50/100; 75/150; 100/200; 150;300; 200/400.

Hypers and are 2 min blinds as are Turbos not 3 minutes as you have suggested. The current structure is fine and hypers in particular are very popular, I cannot see sky tinkering with them.

The regular structure sng should be 5 or 6 min blinds, 10 min is too tedious although you would be surprised the number of games that end in the first level.

I have been playing 6 max hypers on another site, starting chips 500, 2 min blinds and great fun. Top 2 get paid and its easy to multitable. Would be a good addition to the sky sng offering and no doubt very popular as long as they dont take 10% rake which killed turbo dyms. 5% is more like it.

Hyper and turbo are absolutely fine as they are.

I'm not too interested in 'regular' games, but 10 minute levels seem far too long to me. I've registered in a regular by mistake a couple of times, they were so tedious I deliberately blasted off my stack to escape.

Five people like the regular's structured as they are. It would be nice to hear their opinions on the subject because nobody has so far written in support of the current structure.

i like the regular structures. 90% of games finish in the first level anyway. no need to change and make it crapshooty like the other formats.

longer structure = more play = better for good players. Meaning if u lose 1 3bet pot u arent into shove or fold mode straight away like you are in turbos and espesh hypers.

Completely agree with this. That's why I'm not keen on the turbos. Just seems like 10 minutes is a bit too long and the difference is enormous between the regulars and turbos, with nothing in between.

Maybe it calls for a fourth tier to be introduced, rather than for the regulars to be changed.

dantb10

maybe extend the time gap between hypers and turbos?

i dont know, but i like the reg ones as they are.

How about a

"semi-turbo"

Blinds 5 mins
Stack 1000

Rather than alter and existing structure add a new one.
