I'm not sure I 100% agree with the above. I'm sure there are a number of people who do fit into the category you've described however, I also think there would be an equal number of people who would actually like to "grind it out long and slow", especially on a Friday evening.
For many who play poker and are busy during the week, Friday evening marks the start of there 3 day poker binge weekend and it's something they look forward to all week. They login on a Friday evening, and look to get stuck into some poker, without the concerns of having work etc...the next day.
I think there would be a great number of these types of people (amongst others) who would actually appreciate a Friday evening deep stack event to grind and get there weekend started with. I don't see why you couldn't offer one at various buy-in levels (so, all BR levels are catered for and everyone can participate) and make it some type of 'special'.
I personally tend to view Friday evening as an opportunity to offer something different to the 'norm' and to attract players (such as the one's i've mentioned) to the site. These players would no doubt also jump into other games alongside something like a deep stack event and more often than not, continue playing on the site for the rest of there 'poker binge weekend', as long as a decent schedule is offered and flows on from the Friday night special.
