Matchday 2 ~~ 18th March

I think tonight felt quicker, but with some adjusting sure it"ll be better.

To score points each week will be very tough, soothe fact we have some on the board already is a good start

Definitely quicker, the fact that we are nearly into the points scoring already is a lot quicker than last week. Somewhere in between the 2 would be my happy medium...last week was definitely too late. Always worth considering that the numbers are likely to tail off a little for the first few weeks.

I personally liked the longer structure, but I can go with little sleep!

This week is too quick. Maybe somewhere inbetween is needed.... 5K stack and 12 min blinds?

4000 chips/15 minute blinds anyone? To be perfectly honest, from the play I saw tonight it would make little difference whether we played 1500 chips/ 10 minute blinds or 10000 chips/20 minute blinds

I"d rather have 5000 chips to start.  This week, after losing 1500 in one pot early on, I felt I was basically going to be committed for my tournament life if I played any more pots.

I managed to go from having 22K and being top 20 to out in 5 minutes, pretty much.  Every time I was in a pot, I got horrible boards and got shoved on.  Eventually I went out putting my last 7K in with QQ vs AJ on an AJx board, but I was just fed up with it (and hungry!) by that point.

Eventually I went out putting my last 7K in with QQ AJ vs AJ KQ on an AJx 9TJ board.

I think 5K instead of 4K does give you a chance to recover from your first badbeat/badplay, I would be happy with 12 minute blinds although I was very happy with 15!
