I wouldn't consider it a "deepstack tournament" since the blinds start at $100/$200 with $30k in chips. This is like playing with $7500 in chips and having the blinds start at $25/$50. Your starting stack is still 150x the big blind so there's no need to play big pots without a big hand for the first several levels.

I guess they are considering it a deep stack because of the long blinds. I guess its not technically a deep stack. Im more used to 20 or 25 minute blinds.

I dont' see how this structure warrants any unique advice.I'd tend to see lots of flops in position early, given a low blind/stack ratio
I guess I'm just used to 3-5 hour tourneys with that amount of people. This one is supposedly going to be 2 days.

I would see more cheap flops.That's the main difference from one that has blinds risingg faster..where I woudl look to steal more preflop
