It would be interesting to see if a deeper stacked tournament, with 30 min blinds, and paying 3 players would make the tournament more popular, especially on a weekend.
Haven't seen the results, I don't think Hollywood Park Casino publishes them. You only have about 2 hours to Double Up your stack, which means changing gears could be problematic when you are getting short stacked.īeing a tournament more geared to Luck at 81% than Skill, at about 18%, Tight Passive players are likely to have to make bigger bets than usual, but this one could go on for about 3 hours or more. At level 7, about 2.33 hours into the tournament, it should start getting exciting as short stacks are going ALL-IN and medium stacks get cautious. The Minefield is not too deep at about 6 levels, which means that's where most of the action is going to be as players try to improve their stacks. This tournament only pays the top 2 out of 10. The Minefield section is about 1.5 hours and should end about Level 9, where you will need at least $72.000 in chips to continue at the Bubble Phase and on to the In-the-Money Phase. If your average win/loss rate is 50% and with the ante kicking in, you have only about 30 hands left before you have to play a Kill Phil kind of game.
