hey. this is my blind schedule, with a 10k start stack. i have had between 18 and 21 runners at my tourneys thus far, and they usually get to the 4/8 or 5/10 level when its heads up. the breaks arent usually followed that strictly.


my buyin was $30, with $5 going to each knockout. that seemed to be fun.

its good that you got a 1000 chip set (as have i), makes it really good, as you can leave chips over for a cash game. i love making it deeper stack, especially since my set has 5k chips, which i love.

if you made it a 5k start stack, and got rid of the antes, then i reckon it would be about bang on 4 hours. maybe add the 75/150 level in as well

I might add a 400/800 level i think.

Also, not antes? this is the best way to make it slightly quicker without making the levels steeper. 5k start stack, use benny the cunt's structure and 20min levels and i reckon that will run nicely.

Why 30 minute blind levels at the beginning benny the cunt?

Myself I prefer a god cannonball structure!

5 minutes for the first four blinds.
10 minutes for the next four
20 minutes for the next four
40 for the last four blind levels.

Good fun, get's the annoying grinding section of the tourney out of the way.

interesting idea. might have to try that some time.

the 30 min levels at the start just mean that everyone gets time in the tourney.
