As much as I appreciate a good tournament, it does not need to go on until 3am as it is a series of tournaments and should cut down variance and good players should come to the top over the series. 12 min blinds & 5k starting stack is about 1.30am finish and is just as good imo.

For the weekly $11 online league, an 8 hour tournament feels like a bit of overkill. imo 3k/15 might be more appropriate (same as the Big 55).

Completely agree with this. For a $11 weekly league, we have got to be looking at a structure that gives 5-6 hours play. Obviously it"s very difficult to get the balance right when you have an unexpectedly large turnout, but actually, player numbers is the one variable that makes least difference to finish time, when compared to starting stack, length of levels, and level structure.
I think that a 12 minute structure with 4k starting stack would still leave plenty of play , whilst bringing the finishing time into a more manageable position for all those playing on the final table, along with the many team mates that want to rail and support those players from their region. (After all, this is a community league ;) )

Great poker players have bundles of aggression. Weak poker players have hardly any aggression and rely on the luck of the dealer. ...

I think you"re mixing up "weak" with "passive".
There are plenty of very bad poker players with bundles of aggression.

Post aimed at web1. Jon MW got there first.
You are wrong (imo). Im gonna say good players dont have bundles of agression, they have caculated agression. And weak players make to many mistakes (sometimes beign too agressive at the wrong time is a mistake).
Long structure suits better players. Pretty simple to understand. Weak or fishy players should try and gamble more because they cannont play well after the flop, so they have to take margional situations and try to win more flips or 60-40s.
"5 min blinds bring out the best in players". Dont agree with that at all sorry. It just suits the players who are getting the most hands.
Thread may have gone off track slightly, soz for that.
