Yes , nowadays on the poker rooms there are too many games , too many types and kinds of games to choose and olay the ones you are best at . Many blind structures , mor games than NLH or PLO , etc etc . I would prefer if there were far less games of KO or Bounty kind of , nowadays they are really so many .
These freezeout games are more normal or traditional to me than the others , and better to know noone can spend more on this game rather than the buyin , not me for brm reasons , not others to stop their crazy aggressiveness .

You have the reason dule-vu, this year it is the end of all the fashions and the rare inventions to which used PS had us. I think that the pandemic situation, with the isolation of the players, the shut down of the casinos and the increase of the poker online, it must have something that to see. But is happening some things that are out of sense, like the reduction of the amount of the prizes or the frecuency of the tournament. I don´t understand...

Online poker has not grown with this coronavirus and i was really disappointed because did not happen. I believe that this thing can happen if players in the United States of America get acceptance in most or all states to play again against the world population. Until then we have good series like these freezeout.

This series ended yesterday and i'm sorry because i didn't have time to play more satellites & win something nice. COVID 19 made me have less time available. I needed to solve a few problems. Another series will come in near future where i will participate in qualifications.

on which tournaments you mean and on what sites?because we see in news section that almost every site have lot of promotions,tournament series and so on,so dont know on what you mean exactly and who give less prizes!especially its about party poker and what we see how they treat players!

There are many games. but the players are fewer and probably even if they stayed at home for a few months... were not interested to occupy tables. Poker is no longer so attractive as in the past and we are satisfied with what we have.

I was writing about the strange format that was appearing in the last two years: playing with fewer players than 6, playing with fewer cards...they missing to propose playing with five or six kind of cards: Diamonds, Hearts, Spades, Clubs, Wind and Fire! hahaha. And I was talking about the 888poker situation, who reduce his prizes a lot, Don´t you play there?

Poker rooms in a hurry to make money schedule regular tournaments in every day. I would introduce satellites in one/second days and after that main tournaments from different times based on the time zone of Europe, South America or others.
These freezeout tournaments are very nice to play , many games and
