Adjusting to the Structure

Level 2 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

With this tournament being played with no antes, just blinds and also the fact that it's pot limit preflop and no limit after the flop, the players have had some adjusting to do. A lot of them have been chatting with one another that the structure is a bit different and weird given that you aren't able to shove preflop in a lot of spots you normally would. For one, there are no antes added to the pot to increase your stack and two, it's pot limit so you can't always shove. Some of the players find this a little bit annoying given that the event's structure is a bit fast-paced like a turbo, but some of the strategy behind playing a turbo event successfully is negated by the pot-limit structure preflop and no antes.
