Default 800 chips vs. 2000 chips

Am I slow? I opened up 4 SNGs to try out the new party structure. 1st I didn't realize they had these speed tournies, so that was confusing, my bad.

But I was REALLY surprised when one of my tournaments had 800 chips in it.

I've been clicking through trying to see a pattern. Someone want to enlighten me?

All the Speed tournaments I played today were 800, all the non-speed tournaments were 2000.

I'm not saying that's always true - but that's what I thought was.

I've played a bunch of tournaments today, some speed and some not speed and they all had the new structure with 2000 chips. Are you sure you weren't on a play money table or something?

No the 800 chips had the old structure as far as I could tell and the 5 minute blinds.

The 2000 had the bigger blinds.

Default That\'s how it was for me - but I didn\'t play a lot of games


just might of worked out that the speed tournaments were 800 for me.

I only played 4 STT on PP today - 2 were speed at 800 and 2 were not speed at 2000.
