Played too slow for me, only thing that hapened on my tables was fold fold fold fold etc until there was a cooler or a beat.
Brendoni
maybe a 5PM start time . or less chips/faster blind structure
smasher37
i do agree with the comments about the very late finish.
deanp27
Yeah gonna struggle to play these on a regular basis with that finishing time, great tournament that it is.

For the weekly $11 online league, an 8 hour tournament feels like a bit of overkill.

Fantastic turnout and brilliant structure
WH1TEHORSE
+1 from me!! It was great to be able to still play proper poker on the final table and glad it wasnt just an all in fest.

Amazing scope to play "every" hand in (or out of) position
Brendoni
Really good structured game
WYoung83
I hope they dont alter the clock or starting stack either because it was perfect.
Jon MW
once the numbers fall it will towards a 2am finish anyway without touching this structure.

I could live with 12 min levels - would have made the event 90 mins shortly last night - but on balance it would have lost the depth of play possible.
Great work APAT in creating such a structure.

I think its perfect. Like mentioned above, no one will reach every final table so its not a case of playing until 3am every week

Don"t mess with the structure, why would you after such an emphatic "Yesssss" from the faithful?

+1 for no changes. As many have said, you will not make it past midnight many times, especially if the numbers drop off. The structure gave us the chance to play proper poker.

... I cannot understand how people think that an 8 hr format suits such a small field. ...

A similar comment has been made about the $10 buy in
But I would have thought it would be the same logic that suggests a live 2 day deep stack tournament for £75 buy in is a good idea
People seemed happy to accept this structure when it was suggested it might get 250 runners and end at half two - it"s clearly a quicker structure than was expected there as 547 runners finished before half 3. So why does that then make it the wrong structure?
Does it mean that if the first game of the next league attracts even more runners - the structure gets cut again?
And if the first league game of next season attracts even more - 5 minute blinds?
Shouldn"t the structure be in place because it"s a good structure? And if that attracts enough people to make it a very late finish - then that means people like playing a good structure?
WYoung83:
Its already been put back 1 hour. It was supposed to start at 8 when season was first announced. And Web1, how can you say the format suits weaker players? Its the exact opposite actually. Fact- good players prefer deep structure less variance etc.
Lets see numbers this comming sunday, i have a feeling it will be quite high again.
Logie66:
Can we start at 1pm Wk 3 & 4, I"m in Sri Lanka 5 and a half hours ahead, 8am sunny and 77 degrees at the mo ;D
