I think that removing one of the early levels, probably 15/30, and adding a blind level of 500/1000 would be a good move.

Especially in the rebuy. Or even have both

What do you think?

** Everyone agrees there's Loadssssssss of play early on in these, - it's good also to play deep stacked for as long as possible at the back end of the tourny.

    The 500/1000 is missing and i don't know why, it goes from 400/800 straight up to 600/1200!

    Stick it in imo, i spotted this the other day in the Wednesday night 7pm 11 quid tikay sleepstack too.

    Good shout Dohhhhhhh

    p.s no need to remove early levels obv, i need all the levels i can get!  :)

    Not having the 500/1000 level does make a BIG difference in the latter stages, it turns a hard fought slog into more of a lottery!

    Why...? well say we have a comforable 22 big blind stack at 400/800 that is 17,600 chips.

    Instead of this going to 17.5 bbs at 500/1000 where you still can still raise and fold to a reraise, it shoots straight up to shoving stack of 14.5bbs at 600/1200

    Obv you can still fold to a reraise if that is your style with 14.5bbs... but my point is you go from 22bb to 14.5bbs in one level change. A bit steep imo.
