This might be a popular question but I just joined this site. Why are the blinds raised every 6 minutes? Pokerstars and bodog do not do it that quick. Bodog is every 10 hands and pokerstars is, I think, every 10 minutes. I didnt see any mention that the 10+1 6 player or 9 player sit n go were turbo. Thanks.

They're raised more often, but not as much. It actually works out ot your paying LESS in blinds at FTP than at pokerstars over the course of the tournament.

FTP has the best blind structure.

I played a 45 person sng last night on Pokerstars, and at one point the blinds doubled. It wasn't even a turbo. So yeah, the blinds increase every 10 minutes, but they actually increase more.

On FTP the blinds are at 120/240 after one hour of play in a sng.

On Pokerstars the blinds are 200/400 after one hour of play in a sng. And there might even be an ante. I know there was in the 45 person sng. I'm not sure about the 9 person sng.

Ultimatebet has the slowest blinds. After the first hour in a sng with a buy-in of $50 or less the blinds are at 75/150. I actually think this is too slow. I like to finish a sng in and hour or so.
