Do any sites ever have "real" tournaments with a "real" blind schedule... as in, blinds that go up maybe every 30 minutes and not every 10 or 15? It just seems weird to me that they offer Turbos with blinds going up every 5 minutes or whatever, but they don't offer tournaments with a slower pace. Not that it's a big deal or anything, but I think it would be cool to have more time for skill to come into play instead of luck.

P* has deepstack tournaments now. I think you get 5000 chips and rounds are 30mins. I haven't played in them but folks were talking about them last night.

Now that sounds like something I'd like.

Thanks guys.

I would really like to try a deepstack tournament, but I don't have 17 hours to devote to an on-line tournament.

I'm going to check if I can set up a private tournament with the "deep stack" option. Anyone already know if this is an option? I actually enjoyed the Omaha side tournament last night more than the regular CT tournament, and not just because of my performance in both. Mainly, it was some fun variety.

A private NLHE deep stack tournament with 10-20 players (so that it takes about the same time as our CT tournament) would be great.

I agree, and that would be really fun. I also think it should be limited to 18-24 people.

Deep stack is not one of the options I see in the private tournament setup window, but you could email support and see if they'll do it for you.

The longest time between blind increase I have play was on Empire where it was 20 minutes. That would be equal to 30 minutes at a B&M room as more hands/hr online. I won one of those and it took about 6 hours. I do like the longer time too as skill comes into play more vs luck in the very short time ones.
