I happen to really enjoy the warmup (when I wake up early enough for it) and the million because they start at 25/50 blinds and it feels more like a live tournament.

Then the 2nd chance comes up and I'm like "awww, LAME".

Does anyone else feel similarly? Thanks

I think the question ur asking is should all online MTT's start you with 200 bbs.....because that's what sunday million is....it doesnt really matter the starting stacks or blinds but i like the 200bb starting stack format

If I played much online and thus cared I would say yes. Full Tilt's blind structures are especially ridiculous with all the goofy amounts that force you to do non-obvious arithmetic to figure out 2.5x raises, how many big blinds you have, your M, and the like.

I have come to the point where I occassionally sit out until 25/50 b/c I spew too much at the early levels. Count me in.

if they use the sunday million structure, HELL NO, don't use the 25-50 blinds! that's the worst structure ever.
