What site(s) have tournaments with the longest rounds and most chips to start? What are the buy in's?

I did an analysis of the big four on a spreadsheet and came up with a metric of "most rounds per 30 minutes if you don't play a hand" and for regular tourneys Party was by far the winner. This is due mostly to early round low escalation and no antes. Stars and UB were virtually tied for 2nd and Paradise was the worst. For other tourneys, Party "Super" are really good due to thier 20 min rounds. And Stars "special", usually reserved for WSOP/Carribean/WCOOP with 30 min rounds are the best of them all.

Thanks for posting eMark. Well, guess my intuition was right, always have thought that PP 200 is better than PS 200, still think than UB 200 is better than Stars; and yes the PS for the WSOP or WPT structures are really good.

Stars really needs to change their 200k structure. It really becomes an all-in frenzy from 30 people to 10 people. Then the blinds stop growing, just the scaled back blinds at the WPT table.

Just came across this thread (glad I searched before posting as I was going to ask the exact same question [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img])
FWIW, the tourneys on bugsysclub.com aren't bad to start (10,000 chips and 25/50 blinds), but the rounds are only 10 minutes and the antes kick in after 40 minutes. That's the only other online structure I'm familiar with (and I concur that Paradise's is the worst). I was wondering if anyone had any similar information on sites other than those referred to in this thread. I suppose I could download and try them all but it'd be nice to know which ones to go to first. |

bugsys structure is by far the best, period. In important tourney the blinds go up every 20 minutes. I met a guy who came up 9th on a WSOP satelite and he played for 7 hours( winner won the seat and it had a regular payout structure)and bugsys tourneys dont have a huge field at all.

and some of the big Pokerstars tourneys (like the $500 ones at the end of the month) start with 2500 chips and 30 min. rounds, meaning you get even more play for the buck

It's 20 min whiskey, I wish they were 30 mins, like the $650 WSOP satellites.
