Triple Draw Tournaments
I got the heads up that Poker Stars is running Triple Draw Tournaments, so DiscoStacks and I checked one out last night.
I'm sorry to say that the verdict is: The SUCK. There is just not enough play in the game for the number of chips you get (T$1500), and the blinds move at the same level and timeframe as HE - the problem is, you don't get good hands as often in TDL as you do in HE, so after an hour if you haven't gotten monsters, you get horked with a short stack.
Save your money for now, try again if they modify the structure to have more chips - I think running it as a doublestack tournament would be the best way to do it - $3000 chips is about right.
But at least this hasn't happened to me...
[Also, I highly recommend semagic as a blogger posting client (it does LJ too)]

FYI, I find the same to be true in Razz (and sometimes HORSE) tournaments, although I still stupidly play them. The HE blind structure is just not doable on these games.
Yes, but they upped the starting stack in HORSE to 1800 on stars, and on FT the blinds don't seem as bad.
Only 60 people in the one last night (I ultimately had to pass) - I definitely want to give it a try over the weekend though.
