i like to see lots of flops & you get way more premium hands with this structure
i was dealt AA's three times, QQ's once, JJ's three times, and 10's twice because i played for so long
AA's, QQ's, JJ's, and 10's all let me double up & being able to see a flop around 4:00pm pre-flop with 3 other callers let me also double up when i flopped a set with a baby pair & someone called my all-in with a premium pair
none of that will ever happen in a normal A.C. tourney unless you are on a great run of cards because it moves so fast
anyway, i like the structure because it lets me play more smallball while i wait for the opportunites to play longball
my point is that the structure awards patience
sure, it is a long day but worth the chance to win the big prize
i would have went farther if i had not went completely card dead & got caught on a semi-bluff in my last blind level
i will be back in 2 weeks
