HomeThe pride and joy of the Asian Poker Tour are its blind structures. Since the inaugural APT event in 2008, we have been listening to our players for improved blind structures and we now have the best tournament structures in Asia:
Turbo Deep Stack
The turbo deep stack was created for players to enjoy a second chance tournament that ran in the evenings. It’s a short and fast paced tournament, which allows players to party and get to bed early enough for the next day of play. It features a 10,000 starting stack and 20 minute blind levels. To top it off, this structure has no antes to eliminate the time it takes for the dealer to collect them, which transpires into more hands dealt in less time. Look to spend up to 5 1/2 hours playing these type of events.
Side Events
Regular APT side events will offer a 30 minute blind level while APT Asian Series side events will offer a 25 minute blind level. Most side events will feature a relatively deep 7,000 starting stack, regardless of the buy-in, so it will start earlier in the day. Unlike the Turbo Deep Stack event, the increments for the blinds will never double and will include antes to give players more room to show off their poker skills and make moves. Expect to play up to 11 hours at APT side events and 9 hours for the APT Asian Series side events.
Main Event
For the Main Event we threw in pretty much every blind level you can think of. Back in 2008 the APT featured a 10,000 Main Event starting stack but now has a 15,000 starting stack. The APT Main Event has 1 hour levels and the APT Asian Series Main Event has 45 min levels. Both feature multiple starting days, with the APT adding in a Day 3 before it goes on break for the final table. We also guarantee that the final table of 10 has an average stack of 30 times the big blind! The APT has never gone under that average at the final table proving how great the blind structure really is.
Good luck to those of you playing here in India for the APT Asian Series Goa!
