Hi,

I notice today that all 6 & 9 seat standard structure SnG tournaments have been removed from the iPoker network, the only available SnGs now are in turbo speed with the blinds increasing every 4 minutes.

Does anyone know if this is a permanent change or will standard format SnGs be returning to iPoker?

Hi Veltins,
I used to like the 9 man SnGs like Darwin, Toronto, and Tallin, you would often get a good game from the regs there, it is a pity to see them gone, if it is a permanent change I will probably migrate to pokerstars or somewhere else, I just don't like turbo.

Yeah and I used to play against you remember Kelly? ;-) I loved those structures. Their first change some time ago made me get out there already.

Oh and a warm welcome to CardsChat :) :) :)

It seems just want players to play longer and thus pay more Committees because the traffic there now is not the best so they can understand

Yeah most of them are super turbo/hyper and increase the variances a lot.
