Re: New Stars Tourney? ($5.50 NLHE 2500 chips 30 minute levels)

You only start with an M of 33.33 compared to an M of 50 in the regular structure. [/ QUOTE ] youre entirely missing the point, the slower blind levels allow actually much more play in the middle-late levels of the tourney, when skill should really matter. it shocks me that so many people automatically assume that "more chips and smaller blinds" mean a more skillful tournament, completely ignoring how those blinds progress.

Yeah, after I made the post I kinda realized that. I didn't go and figure out how much better it will be in the mid levels.

While it is nice in the middle section, it really wouldn't hurt starting it a bit deeper, or starting with lower blinds - this would make it less crapshooty early on, and keep the nice level of play throughout the mtt
