online tournaments best structures?

Washout

HI guys,

just wondering which site(s) ye felt offered the best poker structures.

I normally play Stars tournies with 15 min blinds.
but then I started looking into ipoker who have 10 minute blind levels with more levels than Stars and no running antes.

I love the DS Stars tourneys there is a rediculous amount of play and 30 minute blinds is amazing. If you are playing solely to make a profit they don't offer a great return compared to other tournaments due to the amount of time they take but they are great if you just want to play a good poker tournament.

Stars. The guaranteed prizepool tournaments start you with 3000 chips, 15 min clock and every single blind level. Ipoker doesn't have important levels like 600 / 1200 and 2500 / 5000. While the stars regulars are not ridiculously deep, that standard format is very playable IMO.

Additionally, you should try some of the deepstack tournaments. Every level except with 5000 starting chips and 30 min levels. The $100 deepstack on a staurday night is the best online tournament of the week (for a recreational player mind - not from a hourly value view) as far as I'm concerned.

Plus the rebuy tournaments are a lot of fun and provide a couple of hours of very interesting deepstack play following the rebuy period.

I only downloaded Stars last night. is their a daily tournament you would recomend on it. i might give it a stab tonite.

There's lots! $22 $20k guaranteed at 5pm GMT, or $5.50 $5K at 6pm might be a good place to start, then there's the daily $15k at 6pm that has 10min levels and an $11 buy in.

The best deepstack to play for the working man are on Friday and Saturday's. The 18.15 ET $22 6 - max NLHE on a Friday is a great tournament.

There is a $22 NLHE on tonight at 23.15 Irish time. I wouldn't recommend it if you are in work in the morning though.

Go to the Pokerstars.com website for the full schedule.

23.15 ouch it would seem a good idea until the next morning. need to stop taking naps in the toilets at work;)

the structure in the bigger buyin (200+) tourneys on full tilt is fantastic,best on the web i think.

oddly enough bodog also has a pretty good structure,i've never gone that deep but you start off with 250bbs.

also $100+ buyins on UB have a great structure.

i've never sat down and compared them but i'd be fairly sure that UB and FT put stars to shame in the structure stakes.

if you stick with the big tournies you will get better blind structures, full tilt this week has the ftop's and they have great blind structures, then you have the wcoop ones next month on stars. if you are looking for something in the lower range, the 20 buck 180 man sng's on stars are pretty good. and the 90 man ones on full tilt. bodog is good too, but no so many players on there. i dont know anything about ipoker network but i played on cake and they have some good tourneys
