Triple X

I just opened a Will Hill account ahead of tomorrow's blonde tourney and thought i'd play a quick $10 SNG to get used to the interface etc as usually play on Pokerroom and VC.
Must say i was really disappointed by their structure. 10 hand clock and only 1,000 starting chips. just like party poker. Even with a loose table like i had it still becomes a crap-shoot with 4-5 left as blinds are 200-400. I came 2nd but thats still not the point.
So who do people think have the best structure? I am not as interested in interface, ease of competition etc, but for me avoiding a crapshoot is sooo important.
Looks like VC is the best i have seen so far (except i have crashing peoblems with them) as its on a clock and u start with 2000 chips...
Any other thoughts??

I like the ladders on ladbrokes.
I think it's 8 or 10 mins - starting chips 1500.
No bingo near the end.
only 1 prize.
Only problem - u have to wait until the particular promotion ends be4 u can collect.

not really snoopy
the triple chance and turbo ladders are both excellent value. you make top 3 or top 4 respectively and get paid and you can buy in for as little as $3. they're good for $1000 a week for me at the minute.

the problem with betfair STT and all crypto STT is they are not on a clock so the end game becomes a crap shoot prima and party are also guity of this
no matter what the stack size starts with or the blinds 10 hands per level means crap shoot at end

Stars for STT/SNG, but tough
I also like the Betfair sixpaks. Some Crypto SNGs are on a clock, some are every fifteen hands. I prefer the former
Crypto for MTT, along with Stars/Laddies etc
Party IMO is disappointing for SNGs...low starting chips, quick clock, but beatable

party is by far and away the most profitable SnGs on the net even if the low chips and the 10 hands a level structure sucks i am making the money around 40% of the time there and of that 40% i would win about 65% of time due to people trying to beat the bubble with 5 or 6 players left

I'm mashing them up. yuo lot stay away though, dont want too many sharks in the pool
