APAT:
Bob Ballou - Silver Medalist
Bob bubbled the final table of the UK Amateur Poker Championship in Manchester, during Season Two.

I think the structure is pretty good and as Des says there will always be a point in most tourneys when the blinds bite to the point where its push/fold poker. But then again playing good push/fold poker is a bit of an art in itself.
When considering tweaking the structure I"d like to see the following
1. 15 min levels
2. a 75/150 level put in
3. the 750/1500 level replaced with 600/1200 and 800/1600 levels
4. a 1200/2400 level put in
This would probably have the tourney running for 6 - 7 hours but, given the new level of prestige and added value that these tourneys now have, most players would probably be happier with a slightly slower smoother structure.

As an afterthought, given that BSQ tourneys now support antes, we could have an identical structure as the live nationals with the level lengths being the online equivalent to 45 minutes live!
Also well done to theGeeny87. Noone can totally luckbox a tourney this big. I thought some of the comments were unfair (not that he cares I"m sure - good luck in the GUKPT and at Walsall). There are a lot of difficult decicions to make when stack sizes are so varied and blinds are so big.
A lot of these "bad play rewarded" comments are generally "results orientated" comments and a lot of the time are "correct play...bad outcome...oh look I"ve dogged him on the river anyway" type situations
