Is this Blinds Scedule too agreesive for a home game?
1500 in chips per player. I want to get in as many games as possible.
BLIND SCHEDULE 1st ROUND LAST FOR 30 MINS. 10-20 BLINDS GO UP EVERY 20 MINUTES AFTER 1ST ROUND 25-50 50-75 75-100 100-150 150-200 200-400 500-1000 Thx gang. |

Re: Is this Blinds Scedule too agreesive for a home game?
I would say that it is very very very far from too aggressive. I wouldn't even call it too aggressive if each player started with 1000 chips. I guess that could just be my personal opinion.
Also, I would probably just get rid of one of the early levels and have the typical 1:2 ratio for blinds. Its almost like you went out of your way to make the blinds go up at a odd ratio. |

Re: Is this Blinds Scedule too agreesive for a home game?
That really isn't overly aggressive. We also start with 1500
I do 5 10 10 20 15 30 20 40 25 50 50 100 75 150 100 200 150 300 200 400 300 600 etc... 20 minute blinds for the first 2 hours and 15 after that. My goal was to keep the blinds slow and low for the first 2 hours so people can get more playing time in. With 10 players we almost always finish in 3-3 1/2 hours If you want to get more aggressive do 50 100 75 150 100 200 etc.. |

Re: Is this Blinds Scedule too agreesive for a home game?
Is it a limit or NL tourney ? In my game we have a limit tourney with each player starting with 1500 with this blind schedule.
5-10 15-30 25-50 50-100 100-200 150-300 200-400 250-500 500-1000 At this point we switch to NL to finish it off. As a point of reference we usually have 20-25 min blinds depending on how many players (over 10 we go with 20min),this combined with a few color up breaks usually takes about 4 hrs. |

My Bad. NL Tournament. What I am trying to avoid is that it seems like it always takes the first game hours to play since eveyone is tight. I want to speed it up so that 2-3 maybe even 4 games can be played but still letting people feel like they are not being blinded out of the game.

Have the blinds go up faster early on then. No one feels like theyre being 'blinded out' if the blinds go up early because they have so many chips. Thats just one thought. I would say your schedule is good, but I again, have to say I dont know about the blinds. Just level them out and I think people will probably be happy with it.

How many people? If you have 9-10 people I do not see any way of getting under 2+ hours unless the starting chips and blinds are crazy. Unless you all suck. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Is this Blinds Scedule too agreesive for a home game?
You can't have your cake and eat it too , if you want a fast tourney then you have to force action by escalating the blinds at a faster pace , and conceivably turning it in to a push-fest.An alternative is to allow re-buys for the first few levels and allowing people to take a few shots with hands they normally would'nt , but that also puts more chips in play and dragging it out a little longer. IMO the best alternative is to have 2 different paced games , the first with a more gradual blind escalation , and the second one more aggressive.

Re: Is this Blinds Scedule too agreesive for a home game?
I think “to aggressive” is all perspective of how long you want the event to be, do you want multiple tournaments or a cash game after the first one, do you want best players to hit the final table on a more regular basis, etc.
We play: 1st hour 25 50 50 100 75 150 2nd Hour 100 200 150 300 200 400 3rd Hour 300 600 400 800 500 1000 4th Hour 600 1200 800 1600 1000 2000 5th Hour 1200 2400 1500 3000 2000 4000 6th Hour 2500 5000 3000 6000 3500 7000 7th Hour 4000 8000 4500 9000 5000 10000 This makes for a 7-10 hour game, with ppl out enough to get a late night cash game started. It also insures the better players make it to the money more often than the lesser. It also works well with a 3 color denom pulling in the last two colors at the final table. With the numbers being easy to work with and remember for everyone, no real oddball 2nd digits. -William |

Re: Is this Blinds Scedule too agreesive for a home game?
Couple rule of thumbs that I've seen:
1. Starting buyin should be at minimum 50x the first BB; 75x-100x is probably better. 2. Between rounds 9-12, the BB should be the starting chip count,i.e., starting chips 1000 would mean Round 10 would be 500/1000. Doing this in Round 9 would make for an aggressive tournament while Round 12 would make for a more relaxed pace. |
