Looking for a blind system for my annual tourney
Playing an annual tourney with 8 guys total (including myself). 200 to enter, all goes to winner. I am looking for a somewhat slow blind system and a starting chip amount so that this little SnG lasts for about 6 or so hours. Thanks for all replies.

Re: Looking for a blind system for my annual tourney
Start everyone with 50K in chips:
20 (100's)=2000 6 (500's)=3000 5 (1000's)=5000 2 (5000's)=10K 3 (10,000's)=30K Each level could be 15-20 mins. Blinds as follows: 100/200 200/400 300/600 400/800 BREAK 10 mins 500/1000 600/1200 700/1400 800/1600 BREAK 10 mins 1000/2000 1500/3000 2000/4000 2500/5000 BREAK 10 mins 3000/6000 4000/8000 5000/10K 6000/12K BREAK 10 min 8000/16K 10K/20K 15K/30K 20K/40K |

Re: Looking for a blind system for my annual tourney
Start with 50k in chips? How long do you want this to last, 12 hours for 8 guys?

Re: Looking for a blind system for my annual tourney
I was pushing it there a bit. even 6 hours is long for a 16 person. I would rather see it be about 2 hours for that many people.
The last tourney we ran we had 40 players and it lasted 6 1/2 hours and that was long. The mistake I made was a 30 minute time interval. 20 minutes is perfect with an ante after the 1st hour. My main question is why start with 50k in chips? |

Re: Looking for a blind system for my annual tourney
I host slower tourney's, too. You can start with 10K, 25K, 50K, etc. Just as long as the starting blinds are within a reasonable percentage, i.e. 100-200, 200-400, etc. 20 or 30 minutes. You will see real poker being played.

Re: Looking for a blind system for my annual tourney
Playing only a single table tourney, it's easy to compute when the tourney will end. a 10-man tourney will end when the big blind is roughly equal to the initial bank.
(meaning if you start everyone off w/ $1K your tourney will end when the BB is $800-1000) That being said, you can work backwards, just make the level before the 6 hour mark = to the initial buy in. I would suggest 30 minute levels, giving you 10-11 levels before you hit 6 hours. For example start w/ 1000 10-20 20-40 30-60 40-80 50-100 75-750 100-200 150-300 200-400 300-600 400-800 500-1000 you mention that you will only have 8 players meaning it will probably end in the 300-600 or 400-800 level. plus the slow blinds in the beginning will offer a lot of play for everyone. |

Re: Looking for a blind system for my annual tourney
Thanks for all the help guys. Still thinkin it over though. I think I want around 2k starting chips instead of 1k or 5k..and I am pretty sure we will only be playing with 4 different colored chips. How would I change things around if I did this?
