Glad to see everyone agrees. I really think this will make a huge improvement to the site. We just need to keep telling the people who can make a difference.
I've only played the open a few times, and do agree it is very very fast and becomes a bit of a lottery early on. It's very much ABC poker with most of the action happening preflop. I havent been on the site long, but im sure the one piece of advice i have heard the most from the presenters is to 'jam it in' on the button or with any kind of semi-premium+ hand in order to steal the blind or hope for a race.
I enjoy it, but it can be improved!
I expect the limitations are more related to the 3 hour slot they have for the airing of these tournies.
It is too fast. The average stack always seem to be about 10BB or just over and the presenters say that's when people think it's all-in time. Average of 20-30BB is what I think works best. Players keep betting too small. That's because they don't have enough.

Only kidding, I can see what you're saying.
