Default Re: gonna do a home NL tourney for poker noobs- advice?

just don't give everyone 15,000 chips, start out at 1/2, blinds increase every 30 minutes by 1 (not double). I played in one of these a friend wanted to do and thought i was going to gouge my eyeballs. His reasoning was "I just want everyone to play for a long time and have a good time".

I've always said I like a slow blind schedule...but damn that's taking it to the extreme!

I do T150 tourneys and we start a 1/2.

Sometimes I get annoyed playing with my buddies because they insist on playing 30 - 50 chips with blinds starting at 1/2. That's not poker: It's bingo.
