For the love of deepstacks

PokerStars has a name for tournaments where they give each player double the normal amount of chips - they're called deepstacks. The buy in is the same. As I've mentioned before, these extra chips greatly favor the more skillful players. I've haven't yet detected if there's any kind of pattern as to when PokerStars runs the deepstacks; I only know that I love them and will join one whenever I can :-) Such was the case last night.
