$10 888pl games

Hey Garth,

Any way you could 'tweak' the blind or starting stacks of the Feature & Main events?

The features 10 minute blinds are pretty good, perhaps lower the start stack to reduce the tourney time?

I don't play the other Main (too late for me) but I heard some players grizzling about how it finished @ 2AM! Not really ideal for most players.

If i am right you will not entertain bringing them forward (to keep venues happy - fair enough) but speeding them up a little bit would make for a more 'practical' affair.

Thoughts?
May all your pain be champagne!

I like both tourneys - it's great to have some deep games. You are right about the main though, it goes too long- leaving it at 10k and go to 10 min blinds would be good I think

Home game fixture will be overhauled in the next two weeks.

Already adjusting the daily fixture to no more than $5 buy ins and deepest game will be 5K stacks with 10 minute blinds.

Saturday will be the day for online play with 4 - 6 larger buy in events with GTD prize pools.
