Well the reason I'm asking is because I did 8 27s yesterday. One of the things I noticed was that it was a bit tighter then the 16s early on which turned it into a stealing and racing fest at the end. The blinds were larger when we got down to 5,4 and 3 people and many of the players were in push/fold mode. I had one of them go to 600/1200 blinds and 4 people remaining. You never see that in the 16s (at least I've never seen it). I'm just wondering if this was normal or I just happened to have an odd couple of sets to start off.

Im still chump change and play the 16's. Ive had several that got deep into the blinds, how many have you played?

Edit: If the blinds get that high with 4 left, you probably might be missing pushes earlier. Ofcourse you can't always control it, so thats just the way it is moving up. Oh and you only played 8.

Actually I wasn't missing pushes. I was one of 2 bigger stacks to start off when we got 4 handed and by the time the 4th person busted I had 10,500 chips and the other 2 had about 1 thousand each....and the only times I had to show my cards is when some ultra small stack had no more choice but to call. But we didn't get down to 4 people until 300/600 because of the tightness of the table to begin with. Otherwise it wouldn't have been possible. That is extremely rare at the 16s.

Also...understood about only playing 8. Thats why I was asking the more experienced players. 8 is clearly not enough to know anything for sure, but I did notice a pattern.
