CD Poker Blind structure.

[navuta]

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

That might be true..
Very short stacke to start with onbly 1000 chips..
But CD poker is crazy...
I think merge blind structure is slow.. thas why I like it..

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!

I tought that merge had a slow blind structure..
But PS AND FT has a very better one..
Than CD has the craziest one than...

BRASIL 1 x ITALY 0

Yea that really doesn't make sense for the player does it? Is it because CD poker wants to finish the tournaments quickly? Why would a poker room create a structure like that?

Carbon Poker is kind of the same. They're structure jumps rapidly and they don't host many games where you start with more than 2000 chips. I think I am getting used to it though..

Carbon Poker is on Merge. Their structure is what I was discussing.
