Re: Best $10k events of the year?

The new EPT structure was great.
"Middling levels" (ex: 75/150, 1,200/2,400 among others) with sightly less time (60min) > Longer levels with bigger jumps.

I have to completely disagree with you. It is not the actual numerical levels of the blinds that I think suck, it is the length of time each level is played, which is a part of the "structure" ---that sucks. If it were two hour levels rather than 60 minute levels, I would say great structure for an 8k euro event.
The problem is you reach starting chips in the regular EPT events after 20 hours of play, compared to 30 hours or more for the events I listed in my top three catagories. The amount of "deep chip play" (e.g. greater thna 100bb's) is even more lopsided. This means a much higher (quicker) bustout rate in the EPT 8k euro events, which is accomplished by playing at lower chip depths (i.e. lower bb multiples). In summary:
Low AS/bb multiple = rapid bustout rate = sucks
Finally, if you think 20 one-hour levels are better than 18 ninety minute levels (given typical structures), I think you are wrong, and I don't even think it is close!!!
In fact, I would take 10 two hour levels over 19 one hour levels, and the way things were actually implemented by the casino, you would actually play at a higher chip multiple, "on average", with 10 two hour levels vs. 20 one hour levels.
