Partypoker has made radical changes to its sit and go offering, removing unpopular games and increasing rake on existing ones.

The changes were carried out on August 27 and were announced on the site’s official blog on the same day. The operator stated that a number of sit and go tournaments were been removed “due to a lack of liquidity.”

“Our poker room management team continually monitors all of our cash games and various tournament poker formats and tries to keep liquidity levels as high as possible,” the site wrote in its blog post.

The sit and go games removed were mainly multi-table affairs that required 18 to 45 players to start (with at least two tables). Among others that have been pulled include the SNGs played in Progressive Knockout format, Hyper 9-max, Double or Nothing Hyper 8-Max, plus Triple Up Hyper 9-Max and 6-Max.
