beats what we do. some buddies of mine started up a game in my living room and i told them i wanted in. i was down to heads up in an online SNG and said i would be a few minutes. so i finish it up and arrive to see they have already started.

7 people, $10 buy-in, 25 chips each. blinds start at 1/2 and go up every half hour.

it was bloody ridiculous. most of them are calling stations, and i mean Ten high calling stations. nonetheless i got myself down to 16 chips before i had a decent hand i could play (except for my big blinds because no one raised me). so now the blinds are 2/4 and i'm UTG+2. i get dealt ATs. i figure i have to go all-in. if i raise a little and miss my blind is coming up soon and i will be crushed. the only other choice was fold but i go all-in. sure enough i get called by T9o, and he hits a 9 to eliminate me first. i'm not playing with those ridiculous mini-stacks anymore. it's a total crapshoot.
