Default EPT Monte Carlo Main Event Structure: Sucks? (x-post from mttc)


structure

Hour long levels and a pretty quickly-acclerating structure on day 2....what gives? this structure blows. It's actually worse than the $109 rebuy. No wonder YellowLucksack won last year...

Any chance this will get changed to a structure more appropriate for a 13K-ish (usd) buyin?

Otherwise, I suppose the extra time I'll likely have to walk around Monte Carlo will be enjoyable.

Wow hour blinds for one of the most expensive events of the year? This would suck even if they started us with 40k chips.

I'm def going to skip this now unless I have enough FPPs by then.

It's the same basic structure as every other EPT event according to their website, only difference is # of levels per day.

Yes well all EPT events have horrible structures. I guess some people were just hoping it would be slightly improved for the championship.

so : after EPT cancelled french toruney on Deauville , what are % fot this tourney to be played ?
Next week we should have an event held in Montecarlo : 4 one day tourneys ( 300 to 1000€ buyin ) , but organizers have just said they have been forced to avoid all tournaments , because of undefined "administration problems " ..
I think this is related to some new french law , that now is applyable over Montecarlo bow .

I can barely make this out....are you saying there is a good chance the EPT Grand Finale will be cancelled or held somewhere other than Monte Carlo?

Hmm strange, it was 1 1/2 hour levels last year and I'm sure day two was slower than that.
