| In a 'double-stack', all players are starting with 3,000 chips (Instead of the usual 1500) |

I would also like to see better blind structures for deep stacks.
i think the biggest misconception for players is blind structures online vs real tournaments.
for example satalites into WSOP blinds are every 15mins, so then u win one and have to play WSOP at blinds every 2hours? and im pretty certain alot of online players cant adjust from fast pace "all'in" type poker to " 1 hand every hour" type poker.
wish some balance could be brought into online poker |

It's not as different as you think. You see 3-4 times as many hands in per hour online so a bilnd level going up every 15 min. is just like a blind level going up every hour live. Still quicker but not as fast as some think. |

| Is there a place where all the double stack tourneys will be posted as a weekly schedule? |

Personally, I can't wait to try one of the double-stack tournies.
One tiny complaint, however...... yesterday when I was looking for the double-stack tournies, it was very hard to find them since they're listed the same as a regular NLHE tourney.
Is there any chance that you folks could title them differently in the tournament listings to make them stand out better? For example: list them as "Hold'em DS" in the tournament listing.
It would help in a couple of ways....... not only would they stand out from the regular tournies, but it would also allow us to sort the tournament list by the "Game" tab, and all the DS tournies would be grouped together.
At any rate...... I'm really glad you added the double-stack tournies! |

| I agree that it is tedious to look for the DS tournies. Hopefully that suggestion is put into use. |
