Blind structure

The_AwesomeThe_Awesome
in General Poker Chat
I could use some advice. All this talk about no rake satellites has me wanting to host a private one with my friends. I want a good game with time to play, not some bogus low skill level turbo crap shoot.

a) If I was hosting a no limit Hold'em tournament and I wanted the game to last between 4~6 hours what starting chip qty and blind structure would fit my needs for 16 people?

b) Same question for 12.

c) Same question for 8.

Thanks.

    This shoud get the tM to 10 by 1:00am if anyone is still around by then. M starts out decent.

    Looks fine for a home game. That Skill Level 6 structure will have around 6-7 hours of playing time, plus breaks. I wish you would be hired as the tournament director by the poker clubs and casinos who only have waste-of-time crapshoots! :)

    Think it would still be good if you eliminated the 25/25 level and just started at 25/50. Just my nickel . . .

    Ya I will have to shorten it a bit I think, but not much. Removing the 25/25 would be a good start.

    There have been blind schedules with no antes posted before so you can just copy those. In general, you want the cost per round to increase 25%-100% every round.

    You could do a sunday million style tourney with 10k chips blinds starting at 25/50 - increase every 30 minutes maybe.

    a much better structure than the local casino where i am. They do fine the first hour of play when there are re-buys. But then it turns into a turbo with the blinds doubling every 20 minutes.
