Blind structures, etc. for home SnG
Hey all,
Been hosting a steady home game for a few months now. Usually get about 10-15 players. Just got a new set of chips and really want to restructure the blinds, amount of chips to start, etc. My set is 500 chips. Broken down: 150 White ($1) 150 Red ($5) 100 Blue ($10) 50 Green ($25) 25 Black ($50) 25 Pink ($100) Here's the problem ... the regulars are used to playing with a ridiculously low starting amount : 25X BB We usually start with 10 white (10), 5 red (25), 4 Blue (40), 1 green (25) Mainly, we do this because, we like to speed up the games. And play 3-4 SnG's in a night. Blinds start at 2/4. And go to 3/6 when 1 player busts out. 4/8 when another busts etc. I would rather a bigger starting stack and timed blinds. How should I attack this and wat do you all think would be the best compromise? I also have the problem of this: If I start everyone off with much more in chips, and the blinds start at say 15/30. All the white chips I just bought are basically obsolete! |

Nothing is forcing you to play for the right $ amounts based on chip color. Check out my tourney blind schedule and you wont go wrong.
House Rules and Blind and Payout Schedule Good luck |

Re: Blind structures, etc. for home SnG
beats what we do. some buddies of mine started up a game in my living room and i told them i wanted in. i was down to heads up in an online SNG and said i would be a few minutes. so i finish it up and arrive to see they have already started.
7 people, $10 buy-in, 25 chips each. blinds start at 1/2 and go up every half hour. it was bloody ridiculous. most of them are calling stations, and i mean Ten high calling stations. nonetheless i got myself down to 16 chips before i had a decent hand i could play (except for my big blinds because no one raised me). so now the blinds are 2/4 and i'm UTG+2. i get dealt ATs. i figure i have to go all-in. if i raise a little and miss my blind is coming up soon and i will be crushed. the only other choice was fold but i go all-in. sure enough i get called by T9o, and he hits a 9 to eliminate me first. i'm not playing with those ridiculous mini-stacks anymore. it's a total crapshoot. |

Check out my thread Here I have several blind structures in there, there should be one that suits your needs, or at least would make for a good starting point to make your own. [/ QUOTE ] Kind of funny it brings me to a casino supply company...shameless |

Well, if you play so many SNG's each time, switch it up. Play one or two the old way to "warm up". Then play a longer one with more chips and a slower blind.
In fact, I like that a lot. I have a monthly game. I might try different blind structures. -Saint_D |
