Tournament I ran
I want to get feedback from people here of the tournament I ran a couple days ago. No one in here played it but, i will give you as much info as i can.
Oh, I am not looking for players. I had to actually turn players away. The place I got had a maximum of 45 people allowed.
It was $90 and $70 went into the prize pool. There was dealers for each table, every table had 10 players and I had 4 tables. I served Lasagna, salad and garlic bread for food. We had bottles of water, pop and coffee for drinks and it was all included with the tournament.
Every player started with 5000 in chips. I offered a dealer add on of $5 for 1000 in chips before the tournament started. Everyone took it, so everyone started with 6000 in chips.
Now I'm not sure if it matters to anyone but, i used Nevada jack Skulls for the tournament. They are really nice chips
The blinds where 20 minutes and where 25-25, 25-50, 50-100, 100-200, 200-400, 300-600, 400-800, 500-1000, 700-1400, 1000-2000, 1500-3000, 2000-4000, 3000-6000, 4000-8000, 5000-10000, 6000-12000, 8000-16000.
Once a table broke up i made a cash game of 50cent-50cent no limit game of $10min $40 max buy in. The rake was 10% to a max of $2.
Any feed back, comments or constructive criticism will be appreciated.
Thank you

If you want more action in the cash game up the max buy-in.

Thanks
Just teasing you Blondefish.
From the info that I have it's a patience factor of 8.19 and a skill factor of 5.
It seems to me you are not making enough money from the cash game and a bit too much from the tourney. 27% if you are keeping the extra $5.
20% seems to be the max acceptable rake at the lower buy ins.
.50-.50 NL cash game seems very small for a group of players that are lining up to pay $95 for a tourney.
I think you could easily play $1-2 NL with only a $40-$100 buy in and not scare any of your clientele. You will rake more money with the bigger pots.
The blinds look great except I would drop the 25/25 level and add a 150/300.
IMO there is no need for a 25/25 level with a 5-6000 starting stack with a $95 entry fee.
All of what I have suggested really means nothing since you have more players than you can handle anyway. Your formula is working..
The next time I'm going to have a 50cent-$1 no limit game and take 10% to a max of $3. I would like to take a little less from the tournament, around $17 that comes out to just under 19%.
I had a break after the first hour and wanted to get the 25$ chip out then. I chose the 25-25 level over a 75-150 level. The reasoning is I find the 75-150 a little slow with having to make change.
Thanks for your input.
Maybe I'll run my tournament more often and place it on your web site.

I forgot to mention that a lot of guys where surprised how long the tournament lasted. Most people are used to the blinds going much faster.

I will more than likely do it again at a Legion in Mississaga or Etobicoke next time.
Where are you located actyper?
My email adress is razbetco@razbet.com
i m in only if it s on weekend !
See ya !
Markham. I'm lazy as hell when it comes to driving to other cities.
Anyway, "im a clown," I'm interested in your next tournament (unless it's another private invitational).
Do you deal at Greg's Tournament.
I'm going to do one at the same place on Sunday March 18th. This time I'm doing 3 tables instead of 4. 4 was to much for the location.
I'm going to give everyone at my last one first option and then open it up to different people. So I will let the 2 of you know.
I'm going to start doing it at a legion in May. And I'm partnering up with someone else and expect up to 66 players.

It will be a 50cent-$1 no limit. $20min $70 max with a 10% to $3 rake. And there will be some food and drinks (ie. coffee,water and pop) left.
