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

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.

Hell, we've done a couple of nights with four-player tourneys.

[/ QUOTE ]Do you guys never play heads-up? At work, we play tiny heads-up freeze-outs all the time. The standard setup is NL with 40 chips each, playing 1/2 blinds. We don't bother to increase the blinds, because 20BB isn't so much anyway. It means there's no clock, which is nice.

We keep a tally of wins and losses on a marker-board. I'm currently BARELY ahead. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
