I guess it depends on your style. If you are LAG, a rebuy helps. If TAG, more chips = you can play your game rather than be affected by the blinds. With 30k you can play tighter earlier.

it depends on you

From my point of view i like tournaments without rebuys and addons. because the game is taking more time.

If you think you can stay focused for more than 6 hours then you can go for the second or third type of tournament.

I prefer type A,is the best for me no long late registration,with 3k starting chips and 10 min blinds you can do a pretty good game.

i think A would be the best structure cause it allows a little wiggle room with 3k chips. that's the tourney structure i played a lot of when FTP was super popular.

Rebuys suck :p If one wants a rebuy option, they should play cash games IMO. And late reg hasn't really worked out for me neither. I prefer normal tourneys with no rebuys or addons for sure and 10min levels sounds great too. :)

A case is faster then C. If there is no prise pool differences A is preferrable for me.

I prefer the tournament structure A.

I don't like the structure of the B due the unlimited rebuy, I think that tournament B have the worst structure of the three. And the C I don't like 120 minutes of late registration and that starts with antes

best of all is unlimited rebuys, when at the start of the game all are moved all in, and carries it to you

no rebuys and add-ons. late check-in after these players make a rebuy, then all-in, and so on ad infinitum.

Tournament Structure C. I love playing deep stack tournaments, and love when people constantly rebuy because it inflates the prize pool, and those people are usually playing bingo poker, and constantly pay me off. Since I'm confident in my ability to run deep, I like having the option of the add-on as well so I can play post-flop in a more comfortable way.

i will prefer the Tournament A structure

1.the blind increasing levels are 10 mins, that provide enough time to check out the opponents playng on the table, their betting patterns and range
2. the late registration is for 60 mins so it becomes easier to calculate the chip stacks and sizes early, also if you register in the last few mins of the 120 mins late registration , the blinds are so high that only 15-25 blinds are available to play that reduces the hand varieties to play
3.the blinds only 10/20 in the start gives the opportunity to show down the best hand in the early stages, otherwise moving in happens frequently if the blinds are already high in the start.

This is my opinion for this first tourney A, the opinions may differ persons to persons.

Best of luck everyone at the tables. :smokin:

Tournament structure A I think is better than the other two and I prefer it more . I have played it many times in the past , the chips size is normal , late registration is not extended cause I dont like it to be 120 min or more , it hasn't any rebuys or addons , it ends faster and it prevents it from becoming a donk festival cause you can't enter again so you play more carefully .

as for me the better option When given plenty of rebuys-players with a decent bankroll bet weak hands and shove-and very often trash hands moving monsters

In my opinion there is no such thing as better tournament. Most profitable tournament are the Big one because when you win it, you win a lot, expectation is huge, but if we talk about structure of starting stack and blinds, than it depends on you: are you better at turbo or fast growing blinds and your push/fold if good, play them, if not than tournaments with slower structure are for you. GL :)

I'm not a fan of re-buy tournaments either, so Option B is out. Option C is either a Hyper Turbo format, so the "deep stack" format is a bit deceiving, or it could be one of the Sunday majors, which I actually wouldn't mind too much.
