These WPN On Demand tournaments are fun, but they are very gambly. I wonder if they are too "gambly" and fast to be consistently profited from. I'm thinking its possible to win consistently with volume, but they are fast. They features 30,000 starting chips and blinds increase every 5 minutes. I think the blinds start at 250/500 and the blinds eat chips away very quickly if the player doesn't pull a good pot every now and then. Action is forced, but selectivity is not completely eliminated, just accelerated, leading to an opening of ranges. It seems imperative to seek preflop, all-in races at times.

Please share thoughts or advice on this tournament structure.

I admit I don't like them at all. While the play is a bit reckless but profitable against the players in these game, the structure is a joke in my opinion. By the time you are 5 levels in the average stack size is probably about 15BB if lucky and by the 7th level unless you happen to double or triple up you are in the all in or fold mode. I think these are horrible for a newbie to learn from and if you are a decent player you lose all post flop play ability so fast it's not funny.

I will play one on occasion, the best advise I can give is look for a better game to play. I really wish they would go back to the old style or actually give a better starting stack to the players.

I feel like I'm playing on the wsop mobile App in these. Start seeing shoves with crazy crap quick.

Yeah definitely can't make a constant BR with these. I usually just play them between tournaments or if I'm bored. Still a fun little freeroll that's always around, the on demands that you buy-in for are actually better MTT's imo so do try some of those if you haven't already.

I am able to make consistent money in these most people who play these don't have any idea what they're doing and only push or fold because they play way to tight.
Just loosen up steal blinds most people don't want to risk chips so you can take advantage of them on a scary flop.
good luck

These are rake maker MTTs that will exhaust you. IMO.

I'm not a big fan of the format, but they are pretty close to a hyper turbo, and that's how I play them.
