I played in the 5pm tournament today.
I have to say I was very disappointed with the structure.
5,000 starting chips is a good amount but why start the blinds at 100-200 ?!
That means a starting stack of only 25 big blinds !
With blinds at that level, even an average sized pot, unless you win it, will see you lose half your stack leaving you with 10 or so big blinds.
Combine that with a very fast clock (20 minutes) makes it a pretty unplayable stucture.
1 played one average sized hand. Lost half my stack. Mostly folded with the occasional limp for 15 mins.
Clock went up leaving with with on 4.5 big blinds.
Total number of hands played in the tournament = 2.
Bearing in mind there were only 10 entries there is no reason for a stupidly fast structure like this.
Blinds starting at 25-50 and a half an hour clock would have been so much better.
I would not have even bought in if I had known but there was no info online about the structure.
I also asked while I there for info about the structure for tomorrows event - to see if it was any better - only to be told "I don't know because the printer is broken"
I won't be coming back.
