So rather than considering the NL/PLO blinds to be high in relation to the Limit Blinds perhaps consider the Limit Blinds to be low in comparison with the NL/PLO.

Although comparisons between live and online events in this format are extremely diificult to make as the hand rates vary enourmously I have noted your point about the Stud bring in's. I'll run some numbers through alternate stud structures and may modify for the 8 Game event in the upcoming Melbourne Poker Championships.

Thanks for the feedback

Hi Christian

After our chat today I found this

It is allegedly the WSOP $50k 8-game structure where the NLH blinds are 50% of the Limit Holdém blinds
