    This tournament makes no sense with regards to the blind structure. If you agree and like playing in this tournament, try emailing stars also. I sent the following:

    Hello,

    I had a question regarding the weekly PL Omaha 200+15 buy-in tournament. All of the other guaranteed pot limit tournaments during the week have a structure that at level 7 includes 125-250 blinds. However, in the biggest PLO tourney of the week, this level is skipped so that level 7 is 150-300. Although not that big of a difference, when you are used to playing all of the other PLO tournaments on the site, it actually makes a big change. Especially because it means all of the other blind levels move up by 15 minutes. I just didn't understand why the biggest PLO tourney of the week has the worst structure. Thank you.

    It actually has better levels late I believe like 700/1400 - correct me if I'm wrong and smaller ones have that too. I believe they are sacrificing a little play early for more play late. I assume most $200 buyin players like this.

    It does have that 700/1400 level and a few others, however it is stilll flawed compared to other PLO tourneys. Even with those levels, the tournament does not "slow down" to the level of lower buy-in tournaments until level 16 (when it had been speed up since level 7). Level 16 corresponds to 4 hours of playing time, which is typically around the time that this tournament ends. If the tournament had a lot more players and lasted for 2 more hours then it would make sense. But in actuality players are losing time to play with deeper stacks for the majority of this tournament.
