I prefer the normal game but I get annoyed by those players who waste time and in such situations a turbo game would be better.

I prefer deep stack and slow blinds. But no problem with turbo or even hyper.

I fully agree, but unfortunately I don't have that much time at the moment. Wife wouldn't have thrown out the door :).
Turbo games probably suit me best, hyper is a lottery often especially on the first big hand.

Turbo or even hyper by a long shot. The slower options are just that.... wayyyyyyy too slow. I like my tournaments to finish at around the 2-3 hour mark, 4-5 hour tournaments are too grindy in the long run. In the very longggggg run...:)

Edited to add: My significant other also prefers the faster tournaments ;)

Just wondering which blind structure do my fellow CC members usually prefer, and why?

i see this two structures very common on ACR.

1 - 25,000 starting stack, 5 min levels

2 - 2,500 starting stack, 12 min levels


Lately I've been playing Venom satellites. They offer these 2 types of tourney in which top few finishers get seats to the next steps

I personally live the deep stack, fast blinds, allows for more skill imo



every kind has beauty ... i like all kinds. It depends on time and mood on what tourneys I am looking for...

Lot of depends how much time you can spend daily on the tables. Hyper turbo is more faster but there is lot of flip coin situation= need more luck. If you have lot of knowledge about game strategy and want use it the most of situation than go for 8minutes or more. Good luck to everyone.

It all depends on my timing if I play sng or tournaments. i like playing 6 man sng because they are quicker than a 9 and I always plays sngs when I play tourneys to help not getting antsy calling cards I shouldn't. Good luck.

I like normal speed of blinds because if you go card dead for a while you still have a stack to play with.

I prefer turbo tournaments it's fast. Most of the users are sleeping and it takes a lot of time initially

I enjoy deepstack tournaments whether they are regular speed or turbo (not hyper turbo). I also like KO and Bounty formats. Definitely agree with those that prefer freezeout tournaments over rebuys and add-ons. Also, I really do not like tournaments with long or super long late registrations. Two hours and sometimes longer late registration is ridiculous. Ten to thirty minutes is okay.

Slow

I think you play turbo game, you have little opportunity for play the true poker game. It’s, very fast and you don’t have time to do your bank stack, if you haven’t lucky in the game.
