Yea, the time element (about 8 hours if you make it to the final table) is a drag and it's what holds me up from playing in them exclusively. I've heard mention of the Harrington books and a few others here and as far as internet play, those books apply much more to deep stack type ts than ones where the blinds go up so quickly. For me it's a rare opportunity to play real poker on internet Ts and not get into the free for alls that most internet tourneys turn into with the rapid blind increases.
Any sites other than
Poker Stars that feature them?
