Think about it

Party Poker has changed their Single Table Tournaments (SNGs) so now you start with 2000 chips. The blinds don't increase fast enough to be a significant factor on whether you will play a hand until probably an hour into the tourney.

Now, the vast majority of the players at Party Poker are still used to the 800 chip tourneys where there was blind pressure 15 minutes into the tourney. The very same tournaments where I had a standing over/under bet on a player going out on the first hand at a half. And the OVER hit so often I was thinking of changing it to one and a half.

Party Poker SNGs have to be the biggest donkey-fests on earth. The play at the lower levels will absolutely make you laugh out LOUD as you see someone bet $20 into a $2000 pot. As you go up in levels, you realize that these are just the same idiots with more money or less self-control.

These fishies will eventually adjust to the new game and they will stop feeling like someone is standing on their neck demanding they go all-in sometime during the first round.

Until then GET YOUR ASS INTO THESE GAMES AND TAKE AS MUCH MONEY OUT OF THEM AS YOU CAN.

Just a little tip from your Uncle Duggle. Share the love.
