40 mins in, and literally NO POST FLOP PLAY!

[Oblivious]

All the hands have been allin preflop. Espn is sucking balls compared to Fox Sports Net this season.

Yea but is it ESPN's fault? This event had a $1500 buy-in, meaning each player started w/ T1500. The stacks aren't deep at all, that's why you don't see many flops like you do in the main event.

[Oblivious]

It was a rebuy tournement... there should have been plenty of chips on the table at the end.

That was last week, the tournament Gerry Drehobl won.

Kevin...

[Tyler Durden]

Yea, this wasn't a RB tourney.

[Oblivious]

Fine... What makes you think the blind structure in the 1.5K tournement is the same as the structure in the 10K tournement?

[Tyler Durden]

I don't. The big one was supposed to have 2 hour levels all the way through (they were shortened to one hour and forty minutes b/c of the huge field) and I doubt this one had levels that long.

Anyway, they didn't have enough chips for postflop play. The smaller events are more of a crapshoot while the big one is long enough so that the best players rise to the top.

All WSOP tourney's use Texas TEARS structure which is based on a computer program, they input the starting number of players and starting chips, the spits out a structure based on how long they wish the tourney to last.

Thanks...

So why should players at the 1.5K final table be anymore short stacked than players at the 10K final table?

Maybe you don't get it. They start with fewer chips. The blinds rise faster. If you can't put these together, go sterilize yourself.
