This blind structure doesn't seem to bad, given the school of fish. It's good that you at least consider the structure, though. Most home games that I play in are organized by people that don't have a clue. I quit playing in one b/c they insisted on raising the blinds every orbit and finishing each mini-tourney after 60 minutes. They were smart enough, however, to sit on big stacks and let the clock tick away.

On the other hand, I played in one last weekend that was 15 players, $100 buy-in, you start with T1500 and the blinds started at 1/2 for 45 minutes rounds. I'm not kidding. I'm a very impatient person, and I almost didn't want to play. Yes, I realize that I had an even greater advantage over the field with this structure, but for crying out loud, I didn't want to be there all night. Well, guess what? We started at 8 and ended at 4am...LOL. I took 1st for $600...$75/hour wasn't too bad, I guess. But, my wife was pissed when I got home at 4:30. Nice.
