Live SnG\'s
I'm trying to talk the owner of the card room in downtown Sacramento into spreading SnG's on one table (he only has 7, soon to be 8) and he doesn't know anything about them, but when I pointed out that the juice was collected up front and they should complete in 1-1.5 hours his eyes lit up. I think he also liked the idea of being able to say NL available here.
There are, however, several problems running a live SnG and I was wondering if anyone knew of it being done on a regular basis anywhere?
- How to control the level where dealers are getting pushed every 30 minutes.
- What would be better, timed rounds, or counted.
- What blind structure?
- What stacks?
- How to deal with the fact that color ups are impractical.
- How big to make the buyin and how much juice (they make ~$80/hr, so the juice has to be $120+). I was thinking $100+$15 with the standard Party type payout of $500/$300/$200. The floor could convert the buyins into $100 chips and put them in the dealers tray.
What else?
