APAt Has lost it

<< < (9/16) > >>

lukybugur:
I"d vote for 4,000 chips and a 12 minute clock. I think this would be deepstack enough (APAT's selling point) to ensure a midnight-ish conclusion for 200 players. As Online Events become more popular though, cap the number of seats to 250 for this structure and reduce the starting stacks as / if APAT increase the seats available - 350 players, 3,500 chips, 12 min blinds and so on if it still qualifies as deepstack.

C"mon all the mathematicians amongst you, help us make an informed choice on a value for money deepstack structure by providing us with an easy to calculate formula to include

deepstack/startingstack/startingbigblind(50)/maximumseats/blindtime(mins)

"deepstack" should be determined by formula and have acceptable minimum and maximum values with "startingbigblind" being the only constant.

kinboshi:
Arnold Snyder"s Poker Tournament Formula is probably of help here.

The definition of "deepstack" is open to interpretation though. Maybe a tournament with a score of 5 or "better" using Snyder"s formula could be considered "deepstack" (or whatever other arbitrary figure is deemed suitable).

Nice work Kin. Right, who"s got this book ... ?

kinboshi:
I have.

kinboshi:
Snyder"s formula works out the "patience factor" - and the higher the patience factor, the more "play" there is.  From this, a skill level is created.  The figures below are for online tournaments (live is slightly different).

Chips    Minutes          Pateince Factor      Skill Level

5,000    15                 17.42                   6
4,000    15                 15.19                   6
3,000    15                 12.79                   6

5,000    12                 12.68                   6
4,000    12                 11.15                   5
3,000    12                 09.38                   4

5,000    10                 09.84                   4
4,000    10                 08.59                   4
3,000    10                 07.24                   3

(these are probably slightly out, as I haven"t checked the exact structure on BlueSQ - when I do, I will amend).
