Why no 2-7 Single Draw SNGs at Full Tilt?

#1 5th February 2011, 6:55 PM

I've learned to love this game at Stars -- never, ever played it until a couple of months ago, and have had some success with it.

All FT seems to offer for single-draw is some higher stakes ring games that are too rich for my blood. (Though maybe I'm just not finding them.) And I don't like 2-7 Triple Draw.

Just odd to me that one of the two big sites would have a card game that the other doesn't.

It's probably just a demand issue - hold 'em is about the only game where there's much real demand for SnG action. Even PLO SnGs only run infrequently and games like Razz almost never fill.

If someone demonstrates that there's a demand for them they'd probably offer them but at this stage I think if they were offered they'd just sit in the lobby and never fill.

What is the cost to Full Tilt, if they have games that just sit in the lobby? Doesnt seem like it could be very much if any at all. Esp. considering its just another option and way for FTP to pull in the juice. Now if they had to worry about paying a dealer to sit at an empty table playing solitaire, I would understand.

The base cost of offering them is probably negligible but the opportunity cost might not be. I suspect if they did offer them they'd probably make less from a SnG than they would from having the same players sit in a cash game for the same amount of time. They'd also make less per hour from a deuce-seven SnG player than they would a NLHE SnG player because the NLHE player has the opportunity to multi-table whereas the deuce-seven player probably won't.

Full tilt does have single and triple draw ring games. I think they have single table sit-n-go also. Just learnt and have been playing on Full Tilt also go to Draw games
