Comments on Tourny Structure, please
I've been asked to run a tourny for a friend.
Expecting 50 people, wants it to last 5-6 hours. Total Chips that I have: 300 ($5) 500 ($25) 400 ($100) 100 ($500) I'm thinking of the following breakdown: (He want's everyone to start with $2000) 8 x $25 8 x $100 2 x $500 Blinds (30 minutes) Round/SB/BB/Ante 1/$25/$50 2/$50/$100 3/$75/$150 4/$100/$200 5/$200/$400/$25 6/$300/$600/$50 7/$400/$800/$75 8/$500/$1,000/$100 9/$750/$1,500/$150 10/$1,000/$2,000/$200 11/$1,500/$3,000/$300 12/$2,000/$4,000/$400 Problems? -Only starting with 40BB -No chips for color ups. -I'm not convinced that the blinds are going up fast enough for the tourny to end "on time", but I also don't want it to turn into a crap shoot. (I think I'm close?) -??? *First time for a tourny this big for me to run *First time I've tried introducing antes (how to they look?) I've been to the Home Poker Tournament website many times, and have put together a couple of "successful" tournaments with 20 or less people... I know that I see what seems to amount to several of these home tourny questions asked each day...I hate to repost, but I think this might be a lttle different? Anyway, thanks in advance for any responses/suggestions. -Jeremy |

Re: Comments on Tourny Structure, please
You can make it a T1500 tourney and just use PokerStars structure and that should work. Although I do suggest you buy more chips like Faux Clays at 6cents a chip, they sound jsut like real clay.
edit- oops you dont have enough 5's for T1500. so i think ur strucutre is fine but i would start with a 25/25 level |

U need to have chips to color up or you will have to make sure players keep their chips nicely stacked for easy counting. As for structure, I use the Foxwoods structure.
Go to their website or try mine for a blind structure and som consolidated rules under (homerules.html link on left) THEPOKERFANATIC Rule of Thumb (When the blinds reach 5-10% of total chip count, the tourney will almost be over. Example: 50 player @ T2000 = 100,000. BB @ 5000-10,000 the tourney is almost over Good luck [ QUOTE ] I've been asked to run a tourny for a friend. Expecting 50 people, wants it to last 5-6 hours.

Re: Comments on Tourny Structure, please
That jump between level 4 to level 5 is huge. At a nine-player table, pots are going to go from T300 straight to T825. I'd add a 200/400/no ante level in between.
Everything else looks great. I would make level 8 600/1200/100 and level 9 800/1600/200, but since you have no chips for coloring up, it really makes no difference. If you do get more chips, this would allow you to color up after level 7 instead of after level 9, which'll tighten up the chips stacks enough to keep the table from getting too crowded. |

Kill the antes. I've found that they're a pain in the arse at home games.
