Blind Structure in Sunday Countdown

[SkilfulPoker]

Hey Robin!

I wonder if you can change the blind structure in the countdown MTT, so it's not so fast, maybe 8 minute levels instead of 4.

With MTT's with a lot of value, I think alot of us would really like to settle into them and play them, but it becomes a bit of a shove fest quickly as the blind levels increase.

Thanks!

It starts too late in the evening Euro time for it to have a long structure.

Well i'd much rather an earlier start and some play if the current start time prevented a deeper blind structure :)

Then it clashes with the Sunday Entitled and the €10 Sunday deepstack. They could have just added the money to that but then it would get close to reaching the SE gtd.

True but i guess not a tonne of people will be playing sunday entitled as you can't buy in directly, also i'm fine playing 4 at a time :D and if people aren't i guess they don't care as they will only be selecting one anyway!

p.s. continuing to fight the corner of the increased blind structure at all costs.... :inlove: as you can see :happy:

I dont mind the structure, I prefer turbo.  Especially when it starts at 8.30 and I have already been playing 2-3 hours.

Maybe compromise. 6minutes blinds and slide it back to 8pm start time. :)

Blind structure is fine. As a rec (and the site is still targetting recs I think), I don't want to be grinding late hours on a sunday evening when I need to get up early the next morning. I'd rather play a faster MTT (agreed, more luck will be involved but that's fine by me) then a slow one.

Not sure I agree, i'm also a rec that happens to enjoy playing poker, if i want to play flips i can go play roullette, this is a valuable tournament for aspiring poker players, and i'd prefer a deeper structure, each to their own though.

by the way i didn't play it this evening, in spite of the overlay due to the structure, I did last week and despite playing my ass off for an hour or two, and being in to the top 20 or something within the space of 10 minutes i went from having 30bbs to 10, and then flipped and was out, so yeah just my take on it, good luck everyone that did / has done / will be though!

Any improvement is better than none in my opinion so your post has a thumbs up from me :P

This tournament has been placed later on the evening as the cherry on the cake.

Therefore it is fair to have a faster structure, so it is attractive enough to join for players that played the whole Sunday.

I've increased the blind levels to 5 minutes, then it will still end around midnight CET.

If you like to play a slower structured tournament I would look at the Sunday Evening deepstack with 10 mins blind levels.

Every minute counts, so thank you :) But I would also like to voice my support for 8 minute levels, because right now it just gets into a shoving bonanza really really quick.
