I would like to know CC members' opinion about the blue capped (60,100,250,500 max) tournaments. Do you think they are worth the time playing since they are not with GTD money and the prize pool is around 200$?
I'm gonna tell you my observations: I've played each of them and I enjoy 60 max the most with 3.30$ buy-in - less players, same fishes, easy to get to the cash!

I have played a few of them, I think they are great because they are non-turbo cap games essentially whereas the closes comparison would be the sng's of 360man's, in reference to the 50c 500max one, which are turbo.

I think those are a great opportunity to gain some mtt experience that are not going to last forever because of thousands of entrants, but are not turbo like the sng games and so its a good in between. I have played the 500 max a few times, no deep runs but a couple of small cashes.

I like them. Very soft and with the caps+no GTDS the entries don't balloon turning it into a 5+hour grind.

I have seen them and have a few buddies in UK/AU/CA that usually play the 500 CAP tourneys and say they are very very soft competition...they have a 75% ITM in them according to PPL. I would defo recommend these and the tourney wont last 10 hours however it is a small field....but they are easy to make $ in!

I've cashed in my last 5 games in the 60 max one (2 times first place and once 3rd). The others are just too much luck dependent especially with all the Russians and Brazilians playing there. I should probably stop playing the others and concentrate on my tourney he he. Good luck!

Does anybody know the meaning of these tourneys? Are they going to be the way they are for good or are they increasing them? making them SNG's? They look good and would be especially better if they had some bigger limit games too!!
