CD Poker Blind structure.

[klinkman]

When I played on CDPoker, which is on iPoker I believe, the blind structure was actually worse than Merge's. Now thats saying something. It got so bad I just wouldn't play MTTs or MTSNGS on there. Their single table structure was ok though.

Why dont you like merge blind structure.. I like it so much. It goes slow, dont go high very fast. I like slow paced blinds.
Why dont u like merge blind structure?

As when you start a tourney with 1,000 chips on merge, your short stacked within 24 minutes.

Whats that FT/PS ???

FULLTILT and Pokerstars?
...

I dont have any of those installed here.
Is that what u talking about?
So, what kind of blind structure they have?
Is good to have many chances of pre-flop hand... like 100 hands maybe that you can still play if something goes little wrong.

Full Tilt and Pokerstars have both gone to a blind structure that increases in small increments rather than making huge jumps in the mid-game.

Here is what Full Tilt usually uses

15/30
20/40
25/50
30/60
40/80
50/100
60/120
80/160
100/200
120/240/25
150/300/25
200/400/50
etc.

Pokerstars has antes kicking in earlier in some tournaments, but keeps similar small jumps in the midgame.

10/20
15/30
20/40
25/50
30/60
40/80
50/100/10
60/120/15
75/150/20
100/200/25
125/250/30
150/300/40
etc.

Merge's structure has big jumps in the midgame. This just zaps all the play out of the tournament.

5/10
10/20
15/30
25/50
50/100
75/150
100/200
150/300
200/400
300/600
400/800
500/1000

At the same point in the tournament (12 levels in), Merge's blinds are over twice as high as Full Tilt or Pokerstars! This is because of the big jumps that their structure takes!
