Lol fair enough, rubbish snarky response from me got the sarcastic reply it deserved, at least the forums are actually read by staff and not autobots! FWIW I am new to your Poker site. If you are struggling for traffic on SNG's then I don't personally think your suggestions are enough of a change to encourage a step change in people playing them, except for potentially your new blind structure. My experience of your site is that when looking through the SNG's, the options are very limited - is there a reason why you only do one type of 5 person (and 2 to be fair) NLHE SNG's? Have you previously tried PLO, or NLHE PKO, or a variety of Regular/Turbo/Hyper tournaments? Or 9 person tables? Maybe too many options would mean not enough people signing up to any one tourney, but I believe some variety would be encouraging. Tbh - all of the recommendations from Psycho79 are really really good - PKO, SNG leaderboard's and SNG SAT's. If you could trial any of these I think that would be a great place to start. Btw I like everything else you offer - the Alias' are fun, the table animations are hilarious, the look and options for the tables are also nice, and lack of HUD allowance is awesome.

As per question

"The rake isn't high enough to justify a big promo" lol, there's your problem - prioritising profit over user experience

Is there a link between running badly i.e. under EV and playing badly? My understanding of EV is that the two are unrelated but my results are not changing. I know that luck owes nobody nothing but is there, at the fundamental level, a link between bad play and bad EV?
