Online Poker Forum - How are the tournaments on this site?

Honest_Rob

I don't have a money account on this site. I'm thinking of making a deposit. I like to play mostly tournaments. How are they on this site? I know some of you from the forum and would like to play in some tournaments with you. Let me know what you think of the site. Thanks.

Structures are fast... They're not much slower anywhere else though.

How fast? How fast would a SNG 1 table take? How long is a big MTT maybe 500 players? Is it similar to party?

The tournament structures are the best you'll find on line. Check the structure out at
http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/tourStructMultiHold.php . One thing that sets Full Tilt Poker apart from most sites is the gradual increase from one limit to the next. You'll never see a double, or even a 40% increase. The limits might be shorter on Full Tilt Poker, but when you consider the small jumps, the blinds go up slower. In fact, I think the structures are better than many of the real-life WSOP $1500 buy in structures, and some WPT $10,000 structures!

My average time for one table SNGs is just over an hour (1hr, 6 min, to be exact). That time depends, obviously, on how well you do. The longest I ever took was a SNG I won that took 1hr, 27 min. I don't play many MTTs, so Urban or someone else could help you out with that one.

Thx everyone. That's all I needed to know. Generally they seem similar to other sites except the blinds do increase little by little which i like.

The tourneys on this site are great!

Last night, the 1am $5 NLHE tourney had 383 people in it. It lasted about 4 hours. That's long enough. I like the tourneys at UB too, but they are bigger, and take longer.

I took 5th last night, and won $134. I could have lasted longer, but I took a few semi bad beats. They weren't really all that bad, but how I lost them kinda disgusted me. Here are the HH's.
