Tournament Circuit Basics

[MrFizzbin]

My problems with the Circuit events and sats are that they are short stack donkey shovefests...

I played 3 of the circuits and 2 of the WPT events (cashed in 2 circuits events and have NOT been impressed with the structures. The WPT events/Sats have a LOT of play in them, and the fact that WPT offers sats generally pay 2 spots also is a plus for me.

I also played at the Ballys Circuit event too and it was also structurally challenged 1500 chips w. (starting blinds of 25/50 just sucks.)

The only time I saw a playable structure at the circuit was when they ran the 500 single table sng's w 3k in chips and starting blinds of 25/50, and I think either 25 min or 30 min levels.

So for me WPT events tend to be better for prelims especially in Tunica and Vegas. If you are going to make $$ cash games and sats are the richest pools of $$$ if you can pick your tables wisely....
