In Response To: Watching paint dry in Monte Carlo (mtuhtan)

Lets take POKER example. which tournament format is more appropriate in important tournament.

40.000 chips with 1 hour levels or 10.000 chips, 20mins levels...

Quicker formats are more interesting for TV but it doesnt give opprtunity to watch or play good poker. Deeper structure allows more maneuvars and opportunity to grind it out.

Same is backgammon...in 7pts one double gammon and you're chances are skrewed..in 25pt you have time to come back and grind it out..certnaly less luck oriented..
