Setting up Home Tournament

[bennymacca]

Yeh mate but the people I have coming arent as die hard as you and me... personally what you ran or bennys deepstack seem like awesome ideas, but many are just casual poker players

fair enough

you may even want to remove antes if they are the type of casual player that hates them!

Gives them a chance to see what playing ina real tourney is like.... and its my tournament so they can deal with it

had one at a mates the other night,

I knocked someone out who had a full house, I had a better one,

he had 3s over kings, I had 5s over 3s!

had p5's (in SB) and the flop was 5 K 8, and I slow played it cause he was in the BB. turn was a 3, river was a 3, he got dealt K 3 in the bb,

didn't win the night though...

Work Backwards

18 Players @ 5k = 90k chips.

Two players with 5bb = 50000k or 10000k

Therefore final level is
5000k/10000k
4000/8000
3000/6000
2000/4000
1000/2000
500/1000
400/800
300/600
200/400
100/200
50/100
25/50

4 Hour tourney with 20 min blinds.

That is a huge blind level dude, do you split the money before the one and only hand is dealt, or do you decide the fate of the game on the cards!!?? ; )

lol

yeah going from 4k/8k to 5million / 10 million is kinda turbo.

Well the tournament was a complete success, ended up having 18 players with $40 buy in.

Played with this structure, removing ante's completely
4k start stack
Level Small Big
1 25 50
2 50 100
3 75 150
4 100 200
5 150 300
6 200 400
7 300 600
8 400 800
9 500 1000
10 700 1400
11 800 1600
12 1000 2000
13 1500 3000
14 2000 4000
15 3000 6000
16 4000 8000

20 min levels

the game finished at 5hours and 30 mins and blinds were 4k/8k

Everyone was surpirsed about how well it was run.. and i'm looking forward to the next!

My twaeks would be to remove the 400/800 level and 800/1600 and cut down the levels to 18 mins. Just to make it a bit shorter for the non die hards. should then be about 4.5 hours.
Start stack will move to 5k.

[bennymacca]

sounds like you did well.

Was a top day. Great moments when we have an all in and a call and everyone is crowding round to see some horrible suck outs!

Worse was AA versus 22. Dominated from the off then a A on the flop to almost finish it right there.. but then 2 on the turn and 2 on the river. WOW. Horrific. Wasnt me though so its okay!
