Not wishing to get the last word in, but here"s a couple of quotes from web1 on the night of matchday 1.
Struggling 5k chips. Suffered couple bad beats and getting dealt nothing over 
. Had to recover and dealer not helping matters.
Out. 44 on button raises me and I call with AJ all in 3k. Once again Jokerstars bs flops a 4.
I get the feeling that you rely a bit too much on the dealer being kind to you. This would backup your theory that weaker players rely on good starting hands, therefore a quicker structure would mean that players see less hands before there is a need to call off your stack with potentially dominated hands like AJ, where at best you are flipping.
The quicker structure will benefit those players who are able to provide controlled aggression and the ability to squeeze and bluff certain positions, but variance will bite you even harder with these strutures.
In a deep stack event, I would take a skilled, experienced, good player over a luckbox fish any day of the week.
And if you were wondering, I am the latter in that choice.
It"s an interesting discussion whichever way you look at it, and life would be boring if everyone thought the same. And sometimes, there is not a right or wrong answer, just good to discuss.
