Best Tournaments (multi and Single)

[winky51]

Who has the best tournaments for skilled players?

You might want to be more specific. "Best" is a very general term when used alone.

ya,what do u mean by "best" ?

im a huge fan of Poker Stars expecially for multis but i play SnGs there too. They have a lot of people playing at all times and really good structure IMO.

Poker Stars having a 'really good' structure is the single biggest fallacy surrounding online MTTs

So what sites have a good MTT structure?

I'm assuming that everyone thinks that a 'good' structure is one that favors a good player. A structure that allows plenty of time/space for a good players edge to assert itself.

I only play MTTs on Stars, so I would be interested to know what others think about other sites' MTT setups. Thanks for any replys or experiences you may have to share.

(Of course, structure isn't everything - its nice to be playing against poor competition, but I'm just curious about this one area of online MTTs - Structure)

I like Full Tilt's Multi-table tournaments. Nice slow structure, usually a $6000 tourney every few hours or so, and cool software

I completely agree with this. I have always said myself (until recently) that Stars has the best structure. I have always said this mostly because it's what I'd been told and never thought for myself.

But since becoming more serious about MTT's and studying structures and slower moving blinds with more starting chips that favor better players I have figured out that Ultimate Bet and Full Tilt have much better structures than Stars and Party. But everybody knew that about Party anyways.

I dont play on any other sites so I couldnt offer anything on them.

I play Will Hill alot. I don't know what you mean by a good structure, but there MTT's is this:-

Starting chips - 1500
Blinds increase every 15 mins.

Usual payout structure ie. top 5 to 50, 51 -100 - top 10 etc etc.

They also do a 10K (£) - £20 buy in garanteed and a 15K (£) £30 buy in garanteed every night.

I've done well at Ultimate Bet and like their structure much better than Party or Poker Stars. Start with 1500 chips and blinds at 5/10 that go up every 12 minutes with many levels and antes once it's higher. With buy-ins of 100 or more you start with 2500 and blinds go up every 15 which allows for a lot of play. The players aren't great but be prepared for every bet made by anyone to be the pot.

do you not find the Will Hill software sucks ass? I've played there a bit this last few weeks and each tourny guaranteed I'll get disconnected a couple of times, or the play will just stop and then suddenly fast forward 2 or 3 hands.

I'm gonna give UB & FT a try, sounds like they may be better.
