S3 Structure - too fast ???

<< < (8/20) > >>

dwh103:
Adding extra starting chips will make little difference. Even doubling them will only extend the comp by 2 or 3 levels tops.

I"d actually prefer 1500 chips with a 20 min clock, or something like that, the blind raises on iPoker are quite sharp - I think something that mirrors the Stars 180 man SNG structure would be reasonable for a league game.

I know it"s a $10 tournie on a Sunday evening, so shouldn"t expect too much, but APAT has always strived to be different from the norm, so I hope it"s tinkered with to good effect!

Congrats to everyone who played, cashed and scored :)

... from my memory of Pokerstars you get a little less time to act but with a "Time" clock ... maybe that would work?

Overall I think it is a very good format.

... pre flop raise with 33 is interesting ...

How many people actually got knocked out in the first hour?

It seems very very low to me ... players were conservative which means you almost have to get to a "crapshoot" ... though I didn"t think the structure was any more of a "crapshoot" then the end of the Blue Square $50k game final table ... (another story)

Is there a way to have a prize for the player who knocks out the most people in the season? That might encourage some action?

How slow would people have it?

i was on the button with 10k blinds 400/800  made it 2400 to go and bb shoved so 3600 in middle before his shove had put him on ax kg type hand. got that wrong. i called and he had jj. at that stage i was doing well, and yeh normally i would have folded but i felt that with stucture to make to final table i had to risk in all on a potential coin flip. does that explain the play any better? or maybe the third beer turned me into a donkey lol

CrizzyConnor:
I did feel I got short real fast. Don"t think should increase starting stack, it"s fine... Just maybe alter the blind times by even 2 minutes, I think even that would make a good bit of difference...

Animal Magic:
As with most things there must be a starting format that you either stick with or evaluate & move forward from, the 2,500 staring stack & 10mins blind does not allow for creative play & does suit the more aggressive loose player, where as a deeper stack & longer blinds would suit the more tight conservative player.
After reading the comments posted it looks like we need to find a more happy medium, I would like to suggest just increasing the blinds to 15mins with a starting stack of 3,000 chips & starting at 7pm for starters
