I joined a $2 heads-up shootout on full tilt. There were 320 players to start, I've now been waiting over 20 minutes for my match to start (first round), since it's a turbo the blinds have been going up the whole time... They'll probably be close to half my starting stack by the time my first match starts. This just seems like a horrible set-up for a tournament.

You sure you didn't get a bye round? I don't know how these are set up.

Actually, after waiting about a half hour I got my first match. It wasn't quite as bad as I thought though as blinds reset to starting point. Took down my first one in 11 hands. :D God knows how long I'm gonna be waiting for the next round to start though...

Yeah, better find something else to do in the meantime. Good luck.

Edit: some people have to have a bye round if its 320 instead of 256 entries

Each match in a shootout starts from the beginning. If you get a bye, that's a GOOD thing. But turbo blinds on FT???!!! Their sng structure is fast enough without turbos.

I don't think you really could get a bye round with this setup, & if you did you would be at a huge disadvantage when you started as you would have 1500 vs your opponents 3000.

EDIT: Actually just started my 2nd match, & started back at 1500 chips, so I gues maybe you could get a bye.

yea huge HU tourns are retarded. Your $$/hr is pathetic, seeing as you have to wait forever for all the matches in that round to finish.
