Hm... Sorry, but I don't like 10 minutes levels at all. Why do you find them attractive?
I stopped playing SHG partly because of 10 minutes levels...

I'm guessing that they like the idea of 10 min levels because the $10 rebuy is a tournament that carries higher variance and a lower prizepool than the games they normally incorporate into their daily schedule. As such, if the tournament now has a decreased structure and will take much shorter from start to finish they can now justify playing it. Because despite the high variance; it is no longer particularly time consuming - and they figure their edge to be astoundingly huge against the type of player you find at this level.

Also, it allows for a good aul gamble that is relatively cheap and won't take all day - which is fun. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Or maybe I'm way off...

For some reason I have decent results in the $10 10 min levels, I think players at the $10 level just don't have a great enough understanding of pot odds and when you should be shoving/folding, and with 10 min levels you approach this a lot faster. Also, it finishes way earlier obviously.

This structure greatly benefits the rebuy nuts who build a stack during the rebuy hour, since they will have even MORE chips relative to the blinds. The faster escalation of blinds will help the big stacks.

lame, hope they change the early one to this as well
