    I just emailed FTP to voice my concerns about their abysmal lack of variety in blind structure. I think it's pretty ridiculous that multiple 5 and 10 dollar buy-ins on Pstars have way deeper blind structures than 150's on FTP. To get a tournament on FTP w/a comparable structure, I had to go to the 1k Monday, which is significantly better in the first few hours, then spikes at the end (tho I'm not sure if the 1k Monday takes 10 hours to play.)
    Blinds (Antes)
    <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=364 border=0><COLGROUP> <COL width=84> <COL width=99> <COL width=75> <COL width=106> <TBODY><TR height=20><TD width=84 height=20>Tournament</TD><TD width=99>stars' 10+1/30k,<SPAN> </SPAN></TD><TD width=75>FTP's 24+2</TD><TD width=106>FTP's 1k Monday</TD></TR><TR height=20><TD>25+2.5/40k,etc.</TD></TR><TR height=20><TD height=20>Hr (Start)</TD></TR><TR height=20><TD height=20>1)</TD><TD>20(0)</TD><TD>30(0)</TD><TD>20(0)</TD></TR><TR height=20><TD height=20>2)</TD><TD>150(0)</TD><TD>120(0)</TD><TD>80(0)</TD></TR><TR height=20><TD height=20>3)</TD><TD>400(50)</TD><TD>500(50)</TD><TD>240 (25)</TD></TR><TR height=20><TD height=20>4)</TD><TD>1200 (125)</TD><TD>2k(250)</TD><TD>600 (75)</TD></TR><TR height=20><TD height=20>5)</TD><TD>4k (400)</TD><TD>8k(1k)</TD><TD>2k (250)</TD></TR><TR height=20><TD height=20>6)</TD><TD>8k (800)</TD><TD>30k(4k)</TD><TD>5k (600)</TD></TR><TR height=20><TD height=20>7)</TD><TD>20k (2k)</TD><TD>120k(15k)</TD><TD>16k (2k)</TD></TR><TR height=20><TD height=20>8)</TD><TD>60k (6k)</TD><TD>na</TD><TD>40k (5k)</TD></TR><TR height=20><TD height=20>9)</TD><TD>150k (15k)</TD><TD>na</TD><TD>240k (30k)</TD></TR><TR height=20><TD height=20>10)</TD><TD>280k (28k)</TD><TD>na</TD><TD>340k (40k)</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
    Just wondering if anyone else thinks FTP at least needs to make some of these 24+2's, 50+5's, etc a little deeper structured after the second hour.

    Been discussed b4 and ftp doug said he'd look at it but no changes tho. I too like em to have a lil more play at the end instead of an avg stack of 15bb. Yesterday b4 the money bubble in 27.5k the CL had 66bb, and the avg was 18bb. I wish they'd have a couple deeper stacked too. For example maybe some of the smaller ones?
