Best Tournaments? ie: longest rounds and most starting chips

[CieloAzor]

I'll third Bugsy's Club, and it's not close. 10,000 starting chips, 25/50 blinds to start. Usually 10 minute levels, although the Bugsy's Shootout ($50+5) has 15 minute levels and the finals of their promotions generally have 20 minute levels.

pokerroom has ran 2 (i think?) $1k tourneys that have definately had the slowest structure of any online events. 10k starting chips, 30 minute levels. both were 2 day events and i think lasted about 13 hrs total. also i think these tourneys had 0 juice but i'm not positive about that

i'm not sure when they are planning on having another. i believe theres an upcoming PLO tourney with 5k starting chips and $500 buyin.

also, rebuy tourneys on just about any site will give you a lot more time to play

ok....

technically, though it's probably a better deal then most tourneys out there...and certainly better then the standard pokerstars tourney with the increased chip count.

haven't been around on Sunday for SO LONG that I forgot how they're like - LOL

I took at look at bugsy, while the structure is cool i found no tournaments in the buyin range im looking for. It looked like there was very few tournaments which could generate a $5000 prize pool for a decent prize. What tournaments do you play there? Maybe I just caught it on an odd night, or looking at the wrong section.


I do, however like the SNG structure.

yeah...the stars re-buys are a good point.

but when it gets up there it can really get moving pretty fast.


otoh - i've played some rebuy-sat's there where the bubble-period took an insanely long time because everyone remaining had at least 15xBB.


But i definitely don't like the all-in fests that develop in crucial periods of some of the stars tourneys that draw more players.

I think this is a semi-occurance in their $11-rebuy isn't it? After it gets from 1k to 200 players or so you are looking at a whole lot of players who have less than 10xBB.


I believe I've been in tourneys there where there were still 30 players or so remaining and the blinds went fast enough that 20-25 of the players suddenly had 10xBB or less.


Haven't been playing the $11-rebuys of late...so someone feel free to confirm for me whether my memory is correct on these.
But I seem to remember getting REALLY frustrated with this.
