Still 20,000 starting stack with 15 minute levels and breaks around the :55 every hour.

Very nice.

I'd like to delete the above post... You're still at an average stack of 20BB's before you even get to the money.

I'd like to suggest again, drop the starting stack to 8,000-10,000 and use the exact same structure as the nightly 5k. The $50 5k shouldn't have a better structure than the $100 $20k

I think it would be a mistake to drop the starting stack as a lot of recs perceive the starting stack as the most important aspect when evaluating a structure.

it took you guys three months to add three levels?

also, you're still missing the very very important 2500/5k and 25k/50k levels!


this is a baby step in the right direction and will make the structure slightly more playable....but for a 3 month wait i expected a whole lot more than just 3 levels that should have been added the night after anyone at UP read this thread...

I agree with Gags here - again. It's a small step in the right direction.

When card rooms run live tourneys with structures that cut corners, there is a very tangible feeling of the opportunity cost of the tables being reserved for said tournaments. The sooner those tables are freed up, that's more $/sq. foot in the lowest grossing part of the gaming floor.

Why do online poker rooms skimp on levels? Especially late in tourneys when it's down to 4 tables or less? I never will understand this. I do get that not all players want tourneys lasting a long time but very few make it that far and they are consoled with the biggest prizes.
