Regular STT structures

[2damnhype]

I currently play a couple of nights per week online, although the nights vary and the times I start playing seem to get later, so can't commit to any MTT's and I although I dabble with cash now and then I prefer palying STT's. Recently I have been playing a mixture of 5 Seat and 10 Seat STT's on Dream poker (a Prima skin). The structure for the non-Turbos is 1000 chips and blinds double every 10 hands up to a max of 320/640. As you can imagine they can fairly quickly turn into a crapshoot. With Tribeca being no more I was after another site on which the starting stacks are 2000 and the blinds levels are in the 8/10 min range. I used to enjoy playing these on Tribeca as they allowed plenty of play, but were still done and dusted in just over an hour. I know on BOSS you start with 1500 and blinds are 8 mins or so, just wondered whether there were any alternative (and kosher) sites out there? :ok

Re: Regular STT structures Try the double stack sngs on Ladbrokes, same software as prima but not part of the network. They also have 4 deepstack mtts per day if you have 4 hours to spare ranging from $3 to $10.

Re: Regular STT structures Like the Laddies STT's with timed blinds I prefer the Poker Stars ones - even in the $3+40 'turbos' I've played over 100 hands in a single STT. :ok

Re: Regular STT structures I've just got into the 6 seater $6.60 NL on PokerStars. It's a little bit more aggresive then the $5 10 seaters and there seem to be a few more calling stations. Like the 10 seater you start with 1500 chips. Blinds are every ten mintures so you can sit tight to start with and watch the fish get to work. Pick them off when the right hands come along. I got a bit bored in the 10 seaters as they usually take forever to get going.

3	25	50
4	30	60
5	40	80
6	50	100
7	60	120
8	80	160
9	100	200
10	120	240
11	150	300
12	200	400
13	250	500
14	300	600
15	400	800
16	500	1000
17	600	1200
18	800	1600

Level 9	$500/1000
Level 10	$600/1200

Re: Regular STT structures The Full Tilt levels increase every 5mins - which is why they are such gentle increases. Full Tilt and Betfair are my usual 2 sites for STT - and i find the Full Tilt 9 seaters usually last slightly longer than the Betfair 9 seaters. About 1hr 10 compared to about 1hr.

Re: Regular STT structures Check out http://www.tworags.com/index.php?ACTION=blind&CAT_ID=128&RECORDS_ON_PAGE=200 for a table which shows the different structures for stt's over pretty much every site.
