I honestly think these mirror B&M tournaments closer than regular on-line games. In a B&M game where the blinds go up every 15 minutes you see about 15 hands give or take, on-line you may see 30-40 or many more in that time. With the blinds increasing every 3 mins you still see 10-15 hands in that time so that's close to what you would see in a B&M tourney. If you have only played tourneys on-line and are going to a cardroom I would definatly try a speed tourney on-line first so you get an idea of how fast things go in a B&M tourney.
