This is based on abby99's structure, but decelerated to be not as aggressive as hers from level 8 onward. We used her structure for the recent SoCal HORSE meetup, and while it worked out well for the most part, the progression seemed rushed starting at level 11. I should mention that abby99 said she needed it to accelerate the tourney at from level 8 forward for her specific event, so I should have taken that into consideration before trying it.

I will most likely be organizing another STT, so I'm considering the following adjustments:

• I will keep the same Sbet/Bbet for the transition between O and R, since the addition of the antes/bring-ins maintains the progression in cost to play. The only exception will be at level 18 onward, to help with the 1/2 bet increments (and to get the cash game started ).
  
• For the transition from E to H, the Sbet/Bbet becomes the SB/BB, to keep the progression going for the Bbet. This remains constant.
  

I think that with a T3000 STT (or MTT, for that matter), the length of the tourney is still reasonable (should still end around level 18, 4.5-5 hours ). I also think it will prevent the perception that the game is reduced to a blind-off due to hampered M after level 11. What do you think?
