Masterclass: reading a structure sheet

Starting stack divided by level-one big blind gives you starting depth. Level length against blind growth gives you the shape of the day. Late registration levels tell you the true field size and when the table dynamic breaks. Re-entry rules tell you how loose the early play will be. By the end of this session you can look at any structure sheet and predict, within a level, when the average stack drops under 30 big blinds — which is the moment your whole strategy should change.
