the blind structure of this tourney is appalling. everyweek the play descends into a series of coin flips.
with the antes so dissproportionate to the chips on the table no poker prowess comes to prominence and although this structure facilitates the traslation to tv it has such a bearing on the game its a joke

I think you may find the blind format is not that bad and they only show the affecting situations like most shows

i understand that those are the most commen situations to be shown on a televised event but the blinds start too high and force all ins to make exciting tv which disallows for any real poker to take place.
600'000 chips on table, still early doors with 5 guys left and the blinds are 7500/15000, tad large no?

The blinds start at 1000/200 and everyone has a starting stack of 100K, so 50 big blinds is pretty decent stack to start with.

50 big blinds isnt huge
is more than enough
but they go straight to 2/4 after 30 minutes which means there is now very little play left and if no one goes out before the next level your already talking crapshoot

I have played in clubs where the starting stack is 10 big blinds, 50 seems fine to me, but I would not refuse more.

we all have but they are rebuys and the low starting stack is to encourage people to rebuy and build a pot
for a freezeout such blind to stack ratios make for a crap shoot unless people loosen up and seeing as its on tv and everyone wants to get as much airtime as possible people are alot tighter than normal even jac arama and gus hansen

channel 5 have an obligation to obtain viewers, the best way to do so pertaining to partypoker's tourney is to make it as exciting as possible. how much of channel
influence dictate the blind structure? a sizable amount!1
