The $340 buy-in events in October were especially bad because of the short starting chip stacks with only 2000 chips and 25-25 blinds in the first level during the first week.

That was changed to 3000 chips and 25-25 blinds in the first level starting with the 2nd week. That still did NOT offer much play when I got to the final table, as 4 out of 7 players had less than 10 times the big blind once we got there.

The structure for the $340 buy-in UPC events has improved considerably since December, with 6000 chips to start and 25-50 blinds in the first level.
