I noticed few days ago heads up SNG with no blind increases on Poker Stars. You can find those heads up with 11$ buy in or higher and with blinds 15/30 or 5/10 (5/10 is deep and you starting with 2500 chips I think!) So blinds remaining same during whole tourney and I find those HU very interesting... Did you try it? What kind of strategies you think would be profitable on those games?

I used to love playing the "ante up" tourneys at Poker Stars. My fav was the $5.50 buy in. Antes went up every 10 mins. But the blinds remained at 10/20. The nice thing about these I found, was that you have most people will call the blinds. When the ante is high, you might as well. You will find that most will play any hand they are dealt. Can win big pots.

Poker Stars. I just played one. I won it but it wasd against really tight player so it lasted for whole hour! I was bored to death! You are right, it is similar to cash HU. It is OK to play it for 10$ since you will play it for so much time like you are playing 3 HU. I wont recommend it to someone who is tilted, inpatient or nervous...

Posted by shokaku: Stops those games being just a pushing competition, if the blinds get high. But why not playing cash, if one wants to play with low blinds.
Because if you play cash you will give lot of rake... Also no one can quit... First part of your post I dont understand...
