With poker becoming so popular, pretty much everyone is playing it. Most of these people have NO idea how the game is actually set up or played. A lot of people buy into the $10 buy in, $10 in chips theory. Sure, it makes no sense to us but it makes perfect sense to them. Try to casually tell them that this is a bad structure and why it's a bad structure.

I'd say one of the worst parts of dealing with other people's home games is dealing with other's blinds strucutures. Trying to convince people that doubling the blinds every 10 minutes is not a fun way to play is like trying to pull teeth. As people start to learn the game though, they begin to understand why it's not such a good idea. I've just learned to deal with it. I won't play for anything more than $10 with a poor blind structure/starting chips and luckily most of the people I play with know that a good structure makes the game more fun.

Send them a link to www.homepokertourney.com and maybe they will see that THEY are the idiots.

FWIW, my tourney is a $10 buy-in, blinds also start at .25/.50, and I give $50 in tournament chips.
