Default Re: 6 players enough for a tourney? (Quick response needed please)

I used to play like that too but I don't like it now. I found that as more people busted out and waited for the next tourney, the remaining players felt pressured into making stupid plays and the quality of game play was really poor.

Also, 1/2 blinds with $50 doesn't give you much room to play. I actually started with 1/2 blinds with $100 in chips, but recently increased the starting chip amounts to $150.

Even five will work. It's certainly more fun to have more people, but yes, you can play with a small table. I do it all the time and we have fun. Make sure you only pay top two players, though.

Default Re: 6 players enough for a tourney? (Quick response needed please)

My home game is always 5/6 players. We normally have 3 tournies. Starting chips are 1500, blinds 25/25, 25/50, 50/100, 100/200, 200/400, etc, doubling each level. Levels start at 20 minutes but will decrease as people are eliminated (to speed it up for those waiting for the next game). The games usually last around 80 minutes.

It's just a pain if you go out early.

You should try doing a cash game. That way everyone gets to keep playing, and there is more skill involved.
