    500 big blinds started this tournament

    45minutes into it, nothing happened

    why? because so many big blinds started it, it did not matter

    so at level 5 we were at 75/150


    thats basically when the tournament started...with less than 100 big blinds


    cant blame sbr...everyone says this is the best thing to do

    and im showing you exactly why it isnt worth it

    there is no more "playability"

      what do you think would happen with a 50k starting stack?

      sure, you would then play into the 3rd hour

      but the first two hours would just be bunched up

      if you started with 100k, the first 3 hours would be bunched up

      and so on

        what was the best starting stack, don't say 1500 or 1000, then it becomes a luck fest

          1500 (75 big blinds)

          almost 2x the time at each level

          and raise stakes slightly with each person knocked out

          im sure simulations can be done to figure out the perfect way to combine those two and stay around 20-50 big blinds for most of the tournament

            yah that would be better with increased blind time but if blinds are going to stay 8 mins better to have more chips it's going to get exciting soon

              its going to be the exact same as it wouldve been with 1500 starting stacks...except it wouldve happened 45minutes earlier

              nothing has changed when you change the starting stack to 500 big blinds..just delayed the time when it happens

                it's a little better this way still not perfect, increase blinds time is the way to go

                  I've always thought it would be a cool system to instead of having blinds go up based on time or # of hands played, for them to go up based on how many players are left. That is, when you get down to 12 players, they go up, but do not go up again until you reach 8 players no matter how long it takes, and so on like that (at least in the late stages). By doing that they could ensure that the average stack in the tournament is always a reasonable amount, say at least 20 BBs. Unfortunately never seen anything like that done.

                    i just suggested that

                    but you also need a time increase

                    too many huge nits that have too much time on their hands (could include me, but too impatient to fold every hand)

                      this isn't a normal tournament it's just finish in top 7 alot different strategy than trying to win, if you had a huge chip stack here with pocket aces u could fold them pre flop with like 10 people left

                        Yes, that's probably why they don't do it, it would make scheduling extremely tough since the amount of time a tournament would last would be way more variable. And that would obviously not be good for business. Shame though, as when a tournament is reduced to every player having <10 BBs which generally is what happens, pretty much totally takes the skill out of it.

                              depends what the avg stack is and how short they are

                                              I thought it was an April Fools joke, allowing a point stiff to register for the qualifier. Good to see this broke dikk is proud of his "silliness" & pathetic play. Donkey just as ignorant as you, by claiming my call was bad when I was ahead. Not surprising the Donkey stiff hasn't paid you the 50 pt Waves bounty he offered. All I can do is get my chips in ahead, which is par for the Waves course.

                                                Yes Canuck, Waves has the password for Thursday's qualifier.

                                                If I don't qualify Thursday, I'll simply buy into Sat tourney with 20k betpoints. Whales can afford to do that.

                                                              Definitely a roller coaster ride. Thought I was about to earn the nickname “double bubble” when 3 all ins in front of me survived. But luckily my BB was KQ and I flopped two pair.

                                                                Loved the structure. The tournament shouldn't take more than a couple of hours, not the satellite. Would expect the same blind levels but 10 or 12 minutes to move up instead of 8 we just had.

                                                                That's the plan, right SBR?

                                                                    If I don't qualify Thursday, I'll simply buy into Sat tourney with 20k betpoints. Whales can afford to do that.
                                                                    Ship me 19999.99 and the seat is yours.
