at least do 10 or 12min levels.

If you want to make it rapid and makit it all luck and no skill... THEN WHAT IS THE POINT OF EVEN HAVING A POKER TOURNAMENT?

JUST PICK NAMES OUT OF A HAT AND THEN NOTIFY US OF THE WINNER!

A FEW HOURS OF TIME IS WELL WORTH IT FOR $5,000!

If you don't think that $5,000 is worth a few hours of your time, then TOUGH! For the rest of us normal people $5,000 is a lot of money! It is WELL WORTH the extra hour or two for the tournament to be structured more fair!

LONG LEVELS AND BIG STARTING STACKS.

(of course the donkeys want quick levels because it gives them a better chance to win. Longer levels favor skill.)

Poker is designed to be a skill game.

Stop trying to take the skill out of it and turn it into a crapshoot.

If you want to do a crapshoot because $5,000 isnt worth a few hours of your time... then dont even do a poker tournament.

Just cancel the tournament and pick names out of a hat to declare the winner. That's basically what you're doing with these rapid levels.

Give us Long Levels and Big starting stacks!
