We always play mini-tournaments with no demoninations.

50 chips/person

blinds 1/2
blinds progress after someone busts out (or if it takes waay too long, ie everyone keeps folding)

1/2
2/4
3/6
4/8
etc.

We've done this with 5-10 people. It always works fairly well with each one lasting 60min to 90min. So we get about 3-5 games in depending on how fast they are. Plus people are forced to wait for the next game so they don't leave or they won't gamble away their bankroll for the night. They just watch tv, chat, or watch the game.

I would purpose to change it to T1000 but seems like that would make it more complicated for some. What does everyone else think of this setup?
