Stars now running HU donkaments with static blinds

1500 starting chips, blinds frozen at 15/30 for the whole duration. Seems pretty cool, they're running from $10-$500 buyin I think.

Wow, pretty cool. Very patient, skilled players could stand to make a killing in those.

But surely if two rocks come up against each other, it`s going to last until Xmas ?

Definitely. I wouldn't have the patience for it, but it's cool nonetheless.

part of me wants to say this is cool, but most of me wants to say that this is just yet another case of Stars being too creative, like their heads up SNG's with no preflop raising. I mean, what's next? are they going to have ring games with no blinds or anties? i don't want to be critical if people like them, but it all seems kind of dumb to me.

Variety is always good. Just so long as they don't replace the normal-structure HU SnGs with these.
I personally won't be playing these, though.

Someone posted yesterday I think and said they played in one of these and it lasted for like 2 1/2 hrs LOL HU 2 1/2 not for me

LONGEST HU SNG EVER!

Not worth it in the long run.

i havent persoanlly played it but i guess it can be ok if you just want to relax more or less its like playing a ring game with 1500 bucks 15 30 blinds sorry for stating the obv.

Hmmm...too risky that you'd wind up playing for a week to ten days just to finish.

I would think they could use their deep stack / long level ideas here to generate something similar but yet still force some action. Imagine that...starting a HU match with 5K in chips and levels running 20 minutes. This would be huge for heads up. Like I said, may still take a while, but not a week to ten days.
