FCP Bob 1,311 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I'm not a tourney player so I'm not an expert on tournament structures like some of you but these structures for the lower buyin tournaments look like they have a decent amount of play. What do the tourney players think ?You can link to the structures for the WSOP tourneys from this page. http://www.worldseriesofpoker.com/tourney/...asp?groupid=607Here's the structure to event 4 which is a $1K NL tourney.Players begin with $3,000 in Tournament Chips. All levels will last 60 minutes. Breaks will be every two levels and last 20 minutes. Dinner break will be at the end of level 6 and last 90 minutes. Play will continue on Day 1A and 1B until the completion of level 10. The field will be combined and play will resume at 2 PM on June 1, 2009. Play will continue on June 1 down to the final table. Day 4: Final Table at 2 PM. 7% of the total entry pool will be withheld for entry fees, and 3% of the total entry pool will be withheld for tournament staff. LEVEL ANTE BLINDS 1 - $25-$25 2 - $25-$50 3 - $50-$100 4 - $75-$150 5 - $100-$200 6 $25 $100-$200 7 $25 $150-$300 8 $50 $200-$400 9 $75 $300-$600 10 $100 $400-$800 Remove $25 Chips 11 $100 $500-$1,000 12 $100 $600-$1,200 13 $200 $800-$1,600 14 $300 $1,000-$2,000 15 $400 $1,500-$3,000 16 $500 $2,000-$4,000 Remove $100 Chips 17 $500 $3,000-$6,000 18 $1,000 $4,000-$8,000 Remove $500 Chips 19 $1,000 $5,000-$10,000 20 $1,000 $6,000-$12,000 21 $2,000 $8,000-$16,000 22 $3,000 $10,000-$20,000 23 $3,000 $12,000-$24,000 24 $4,000 $15,000-$30,000 Remove $1,000 Chips 25 $5,000 $20,000-$40,000 26 $5,000 $25,000-$50,000 27 $5,000 $30,000-$60,000 28 $10,000 $40,000-$80,000 29 $10,000 $50,000-$100,000 30 $15,000 $60,000-$120,000 31 $20,000 $80,000-$160,000 32 $30,000 $100,000-$200,000 33 $30,000 $120,000-$240,000 Link to post Share on other sites

I_fold08 1 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 are the tournies going to be an extra day, or are the players just playing 15+ hour days Link to post Share on other sites
checkymcfold 0 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 they do keep getting better, but the main issue is dodging the dealer that can't shuffle for shit, or the table that hollywoods every preflop fold, more than the structure itself. imo. Link to post Share on other sites

Fluffdog87 2 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I looked at all the nl tournament structures for the $1,000nl to $5knl events, the $10k Main Event and the $40knl and they all looked better than last year and very good overall. Link to post Share on other sites

Naked_Cowboy 0 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 first, these structures are fantastic. the limit events especially look like they'll move at a fair pace throughout at least the first two days.the problem is going to be only playing 8 levels on day 1 and then playing down to a final on day 2. it's just not going to happen for most of these events. Last year we played for something like 13.5 hours on day two in my stud 8 event trying to get down to a final table, and they finally called it a day with 14 left. If you added 1/3 more chips to the equation and have a structure essentially identical to last year, the problem is going to be way worse. Link to post Share on other sites
