Best online tournament structure for USA customers.....

All in Che · #1 10-25-2007, 11:49 PM

Hi all,

If anyone could kindly please inform me of which of the main USA online poker sites has the best tournament structure to offer for your money?

I have heard that the longest most realistic live play online tournament structure are the Deep Stack tournaments at PokerStars. Are there any other online rooms that offer even longer multitable tournaments like these?

I am refering to (10or9 handed)NL Texas multi table regular tournaments with none of that turbo stuff.

The main sites I have in mind are UltimateBet, FullTilt, PokerStars, Bodog, and I guess Absoulte Poker are the last and only final rooms left for USA customers.

Your reviews and suggestions.....

Thank You

any suggestions?

and btw if pokerstars has the longest tournament structure typically how long do the deep stack tournaments last (hours) until the final table?

FWIW, the vast majority of live tournaments in B&M casinos have structures more like online turbos than regular online tournaments.

The super slow structure of WSOP and WPT events is the exception, not the norm.

I'd say 7-10 hours until you reach the FT in a deep stacks tourney on ps... sometimes longer, possibly on a Sunday?
The blind levels are 30 minutes long and you start with 5K in chips... LOTS of play.

I played a "deepstack" tournament at the Venetian and it had less play than the Stars tournaments with 3k starting chips and 15 minute levels.

"Deepstack" and "3k starting chips" in the same sentence. So sad.

Stars is the easily best site if you haev to pick one.

Absolute is the best in every way. The play is sooo transparent.
