DTD MONTHLY DEEPSTACK..IS IT REALLY ?

[iveysda]

The monthly deepstack at dtd is a great tourney and i have played in it a few times, well run and a good blind structure.
I have also played other deepstack events gukpt and ukipt , also well run and good structures.
The only difference being is the latter has a 15k starting stack.
Should dtd now start thinking about increasing their starting stack to 15k as most others have and even the wsop have done this over the last few years.
As this is dtd's ''flagship event'' i think this should play as a real deepstack, 10k is no longer a deepstack stack....
opinions please......

i hear what your saying, but why mend something that isn't broke?

So because another tournie starts with a larger number stack wise it must be copied/that's a good thing?



DTD blinds start at 25/50, the international this month is hosting a 100k starting stack comp. zomg that must be better right everyone likes saying they have lots of chips...... well the blinds start at 100/200 so 50 bets vs 200 bets. (that makes the DTD structure a deeper structure)......



As with the WSOPE you could have 3k starting stacks as long as the blinds start low enough and the structure is slow.

The stack size itself is less important than the whole of starting stack/blind length/level increases.

In all seriousness the 10k "deepstack" isn't really a deepstack imo. Would like stacks to increase to 12k for the 300 as their flagship event. However I understand that they need to get done in a weekend so 10k is fine.

any chance you could explain your maths. where do you get the 50 from?

Surely they could still get it done if they started day 2 earlier?  In my opinion it starts too late. If we stay over we have 3 or 4 hours to kill between checking out of the hotel and re-starting play.

The 10k did use to be the biggest starting stack dtd offered. The £150 used to be 5k, then 6k (I preferred these starting stacks for this) before they upped it to 10k. Then they followed suit with the other weekend comps.

So I can see why people think it diminishes the £300 a bit but I would t change it. 200 big blinds plus 45 min clock = deepstack imo.

100000/200 = 50

LDO.

by being a spack........ 500bb obv.


my point is the strucutre not the physical number of the stack size.

we could start with wan mirrion ........ is that better?

The other weekend deepstack comps are nowhere near the same structure as the deepstack. The only similarity is the starting stack.

30 minute comp and quite a few levels missing. Basically a crapshoot after the first 4 hours but structured perfectly to finish within 1 day.

[EvilPie]

If you want a comp with 300 to 400 runners which finishes within 2 sensible length playing days I can't see how you could possibly change what they already have.

If they add 5k to the stacks they'll have to remove a couple of levels to compensate.

Alternatively they can add 5k to the stacks and make it a 3 day comp like the GUKPT and UKIPT.

Nobody would play it though so that would probably be a bad idea.

let's have 8 gajillion chips to start. blinds starting at 1/2, level increase every 4 years. that's a propa nawty deepstack. will give alot of people a chance to use their folding edge......

At DTD I guarantee that at least 5 will be out in the first 20 minutes.

Once down to about 50-60 players in the lower limit "deepstack" events it does play like a crapshoot, you pretty have to move in and take the blinds.... not my idea of fun, but it works to a point. ie. finishing in a day.
Why don't you play the Monte Carlo if the 10k 45min clock doesnt appeal to you.... its 30k stack and 60min clock.
