Just noticed today that there is no longer 15 min blind level tourneys running. Same tourneys run at the same times but are now 10 min.
This is BS, they were my fav games to play.

15 min blinds for online is pretty big, with 10 being the standard that I have noticed. I think it is usually the big buy ins that have longer periods of times for blinds, with most being between 5 and 10. I think I have only ever played a couple of games where the blinds have been more than 10 mins. Interesting spot though, will keep an eye out for any!

I loved the 2,75 with 15min blind levels. I have to check that on my own first.
Why do they do that? :/

Faster games mean more games.

More games mean more rakes.

I think some of the S&G's still have 15 mins, or they did last week anyway.

If they were really bad shows tournaments 15 min, but maybe they do to accommodate more tournaments in different formats

A lot of these tournament has variable blind structures so levels become 12 mins and then 15 mins maybe even 20 mins if its a big field. As there are smaller increments to the levels, you may be playing deeper than before when you reach level 15 or so.

Having said that, a few of my favourite tournament were the 15 mins blinds regular structure, there was a noticeable difference, and they seemed to play deeper in my opinion so sad to see them go

Long blind level on the one hand it is good if from the beginning of the game failed, you can wait and wait until of rise. But on the other hand very tight tournaments and tedious. I prefer 10 min. and turbo levels. :)
