The blinds increase every 3 minutes! What do you guys think of this?

I dont like them myself because I think it increases the luck factor and reduces the skill factor. I prefer not to rely on luck.

royal vegas has turbos that double blinds every time the button comes around twice...so when you're down to like 3 or 4 people blinds double every minute it's very stupid. might as well just go all in every round regardless of your hold cards.

Wow. This sounds like some online poker scheme to make more money by running more tournies per day and having them last less time.

Lousy online poker rooms think they can outsmart us!

Yes, I brought a knife to this gunfight,
just the other day I mugged a mountain.
So bring that shit, I've had practice.

Yeah I played in it.. after round 3 even the chip leader is almost short-stacked.

All luck - I knew that going in, but just wanted to check out how bad it was firsthand.

I went out around 650th with AA all in against A9o and K3s when two 9's came out on the flop.
