Best online tourneys / what's your schedule?
Hey Folks. I mostly play on ignition and ACR because I am in Minnesota. What are your favorite tourneys to play across the stakes? This includes all formats (including pko and Satellites). Do you have a schedule? Which tourneys are you a reg at? If you play for like 8 hours which tourneys are you regging for throughout the day or night? I said Iggy and ACR but all sites are cool. Thanks for the input!

ACR has the biggest tournaments but personally my results have been so bad over a significant sample over this year that I've almost entirely stopped playing there. I don't know what it is-- if the site is just too tough, if it's full of bots, if it's their tournament structure changes to chop everything down to near-turbos after late registration, or if their schedule just has almost nothing but massive fields and massive buyins so the variance is huge. Probably a combination of the four.
Ignition's software is kinda crappy but the games are super soft and they have some solid prize pools. They generally pay a bigger percentage of their fields than the other sites, too, which helps lower the variance as you can get to a mincash easier. And they generally have slower structures than the other sites-- most tournaments are 15-minute levels-- which really helps you exercise your edge over the players who min-3-bet and call 4-bets with hands like A4o and Q9o. They used to have a great $22 4k with 20-minute levels but I think they got rid of it-- that said, occasionally a special tourney will have those 20-minute levels again, and I always try to play those.
BetOnline I haven't been playing on for long and it doesn't have a ton of good guarantees, but the fields seem pretty soft in my experience so far. However there are few tournaments at low-to-mid stakes with longer than 10-minute levels.
Global also seems pretty soft but my results of late there have been bad too. Also almost nothing longer than 10-minute levels.
I guess it depends what stakes you are playing. ACR's structures are better for the big buyins than the small-medium ones, but **** like the Boski Specials (which is probably the best low-stakes ROI tournament on there between the buyin and field size) have 15-minutes levels during late registration but then 8-minute levels after. I hate that ****.
