UB tourneys VS Stars
Someone posted in another thread about the blind structure being better at UB than at Stars. I have played in a ton of tourneys at Stars and just a couple at UB and as much as I bad mouth UB, there may be something to the MTT's there. The blinds don't raise near as quickly giving you the opportunity to play your cards and your opponents instead of having to play the blinds at Stars. I like the smaller field sizes as well, sure it would be nice to win one of those 1500+ player marathons at Stars for a big payout, but you honestly need to be super fortunate to do it, so many all-in pots contested between 3 or 4 players and the blinds force you to play super tight or go in with a hand that is less than what you would want to. I played in a game at UB yesterday where I got rag after rag after rag and only played 7 hands outside the blinds and still finished 38th with top 30 getting paid. I still wonder if I could have just folded to the money since one of the hands I lost with was a couple hundered chips with JJ.
Perhaps I am taking a liking to the UB MTT thing adn not just because I made a final table this morning. The blind structure and small field size suit my game alot better, the trade off is the smaller payoff, but it seems like a decent player should cash much more often at UB. I've only played a couple and I want to try one of the 6-handed ones as well so we'll see how it goes. Anyone else play at both and have an opinion?
