Best Structure Online

[GregF 0]

I would like to know which site offers the best MTT structure online. Right now I'm on Party, but the postflop play in these tournaments disappear after a few levels only. I would also prefer tournaments where there are less players involved (maybe something around 500 would be fine). I play mostly small buy in MTT (10 + 1 ). Thanks.

FullTilt AINEC.Only knock on Tilt's Tourney setup is that they're not always running what you want when you want it.

i love Full Tilt's structure, but I think the blinds start too high, and it's tougher to accumulate a stack early. Stars is kind of quick really late, but Full Tilt is similar in their larger tourneys. Nobody can compete with those two though.

I just played a 1 dollar super satellite on Bodog and thought the structure was pretty decent. Huge overlays on all the guarantees also.

Meh....it's tough to accumulate a stack early in most structures. You basically have to get lucky a couple times. I'll take FullTilt over any other site all day though.

There's a higher luck factor early in Full Tilt tourneys than in PokerStars tourneys. I dare you to call me a liar. I think the luck factor is what seperates a good structure from a bad one which is why PokerStars has my vote.

not sure how? unless you're talking about the 10 minute levels.both have their bad points. Stars constantly doubles the blinds. Tilt keeps blinds relative low compared to the stacks for several levels. The only complaint could possibly be the 10 minute levels. But honestly, I don't feel rushed to make big moves early, just because the way the blinds increase.

Defintely FT or stars.FT does have a really top heavy payout structure though, so just keep that in mind.

Defintely FT

Yeah. Definately. Full Tilt Poker. Five thousand, one hundred fifty-two players. Two thousand, four hundred eighty-nine tables. Five tournaments playing now. That's 415 players at this moment. Yeah. Course I'm an excellent poker player. Yeah. Charlie Babbitt taught me.

I would go with FT. I think they have the best structure and don't have 1000 people in every tournament like Pokerstars.

If you are a beginner player, go to FTP... not only is the middle structure great but the play if very soft and the fields are very small.. Stars has a great structure as well, but stiffer competition and much larger fields.

i dunno about the stiffer competition part until you get to higher stakes, but regardless, if you're a beginner you're going to have a hard time maneuvering through the large fields they have.i have no real bias between either/or, but right now, i'm really digging the FT structure.

UB not close. FT probably second.

[shahmat 0]

If the buyin is $100 or more, I think UB has the best structure for post-flop play.

Stars deep'stack tournamentsNot on all the time but will give you the most play bar none

for best true tournament structure....totally agree

Definetly gotta go with Stars, FT is a close second. I think Party has one of the worse structures IMO. Towards the end, the blinds are soo high that it is just a crapshoot.

With what you are looking for, here is a ranking of the major sites:1)Bodog-Has the same mtt structure as UB, the best on the net. You also start with 2500 chips. (This might just be in the bigger tourneys but I think every mtt is like this) Has amazing overlays in every guaranteed tournament and the fields are relatively small.2)Ub-Great structure, but the fields are getting smaller and smaller due to horrible support.3)FullTilt- Has lots of levels added in the middle stages of the tournament, but you have to gamble early to build a stack because the blinds start pretty high.4) Stars- Their structure for a MTT under $150 pretty much blows, and the fields are massive. 5) Party- Massive fields and possibly the worst structure for buyins under $150. The Super weekday events have a good structure with alot of play though.I cant believe noone had mentioned Bodog yet. Given the great structure and the overlays I dont see how you couldnt rank it #1 for what OP is looking for.

Cause you don't get 2500 chips in most of the tournies.1500 to start in most of the normal and/or smaller tournies. The blinds catch you later on and it gets pretty brutal by final table time. They did add a few super stack tournies with 5k to start though, and those are just crazy... you can play quite awhile before they catch up at all.

fulltilt or stars i dont know about bodog becuse canadians cant make an account. which i always thought was weird. i used to play on UB but i hate the software.

Absolute Poker... a very underrated site.... most tournaments have 100-400 players and the blind structure is excellent... the smaller tournaments u start with 1500 with blinds of 10-20 and in the bigger tournaments you start with 2500 with the blinds of 10-20

I play at pokerroom and always have. The blinds start low and give you room to play with your starting stake of 1500. In most smaller limit tourneys increase every 12 - 15 min. Later on after the first hour I find they get rather high.10-2015-3025-5050-10075-150100-200150-300200-400300-600400-800500-1000600-1200700-1400800-1600900-18001000-2000 ( I think you get the point from here)

UB is 12 mins and goes5-1010-2015-3020-4030-6050-10075-150etcHard to beat...

Bodog uses this exact same structure.

Gotta go with Bodog - they used to have 1K in starting chips which was a joke but they fixed that.I heard a lot of praise for fulltilt but they start you at 15/30 vs Bodog's 5/10 so Bodog has the edge in the early going.That and overlays in almost every guaranteed tourney makes it #1.
