Am I the only one that hated the 50/100 to 100/200 jump in blinds -- going from comfortable in chips to insta-shortstack in one hand? [/ QUOTE ] you are not alone. I suspect that this is what causes a lot of my 5th and 6th places. I hope the new 75/150 blind level allows me to turn some more of those into ITM finishes.

It surprises me that they would do this. It cannot help them to make more money, unless they feel more people will play because of the slower blinds. Though everyone's used to what's currently in place, it seems that adding a level would be more in the interest of solid players then in the interest of Partypoker. [/ QUOTE ] Maybe they're trying to get all us weisenheimer multi-tablers to play some more tables to make up the difference. Hey, it's no crazy than your average conspiracy theory.

Damnit. My first hand of 75/150 and I push 88 into BBs 99. I hate these new blinds! [/ QUOTE ] My first hand, I'm the BB with QQ and 1500, a guy makes a 4 handed limp on the button, I push and he instacalls A3s. I love these new blinds.

I'm bad at multiplying by 150 while 8 tabling....I guess I'll get used to it though [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] HA! That is the first thing I noticed also. I need to make a post it with the 150 mulitiplication table on it. My ITM in my first set with the new structure was 50%, so I think the change is good.

My opinion on the changes to hourly rate
This applies to those who play $50s and above. After doing some intuitive figuring, I think that each tourney will last about 5 or so hands longer. That's about 5 minutes. For a 15% ROI player at the $50s, the change in hourly rate would be something like a 10% drop.
In order to compensate, your ROI would have to increase ~1.67%. Do you think that's likely with one extra blind level?
