Structure too fast??  Been playing 2 hours, already the average stack has less than 10 x what is in the pot before a card is dealt! And even average stack is almost shove or fold. What does everybody else think?

[George2Loose]

I think we talk about structures too much but your probably right!

[BigBillsDevlin]

Definatly, its gonna turn into the old "all in or fold", should be 20m blinds minimum. GL ALL

UL Neil ... makes me feel a bit better about folding JJ which would have survived vs two all ins before me 88 and AQ ...

You just always seem to make the wrong call on these ones ...

Anyway ... just doubled AK vs AQ ...

[Honeybadg]

... part of the reason the structure kicks in is that everything is so passive in the 1st hour ...

Does seem a bit fast tonight ... but just because I have been short.

Overall I would leave it ...

Not able to play due to ongoing connection problem.  :"(

Can"t even rail properly  

I see noseyP is chipleader with 44 left - TID Wayne.  Leeds FTW.  

[Mikeyboy9361]

Don"t agree Louis there was plenty of play on my table in the forst hour, but the blinds just kept spiralling on up!

[Honeybadg]

... actually I think you are right ... maybe make the levels 15 mins ...

Is that not the point of a deepstack tourney, to allow for plenty of play.

Since an hour in, the cost of an orbit has been well above 10% of the average stack.

But we could debate structure for a long time (actually, we do   )

Bombed out in 38th when my AQ siuted ran into KJ. Quenn on the flop, k on the turn. Goodnight. Thanks for coming!
