Poker Tourney Ideas
Soooooooo.... Bantering back and forth over different ways to do a large tourney without overflowing someones house with a couple of the players in our league.
One way I thought was running 6 person heats over the course of a few weeks. with the table winner advancing to the next round.
72 players would work perfect. (European Open or Poker Million) without Jessie May giggling like a giddish school girl every 15 seconds.
I just turn the sound down when I watch any show he is hosting just because he is so effin ANNOYING.
Would some of you be interested. Buy in would probably $50.
NO RAKE.. Deepstack. Blinds increasing every 20 mins.:biggrin2:

Zithal ran something like this a few years ago. I'll see if I can find the thread.

Dates would be Tues or Wed Night. and Sunday afternoon.

18 20000 - 40000 ante 2000
19 40000 - 80000 ante 4000. Keep Doubling each round
Round should be finished before midnight.
Prize payouts to final 6.Still in the stages of working this out with different numbers of players. and maybe having the top 2 from each heat moving on.
There would be no carry overs in chips. If you get through everyone in the next heat would would have 50k and start from round 1.
So, the winners all move to the final table, and the winner of the "2nd place table" gets in, as well.
Your ante's are way out of whack.. They vary from 1/6th to 1/2 of the small blind.. Look at level 9 and 10... Should produce lots of pushing since the amount in the pot preflop will be huge in comparison to the blinds. You need to level the ante's out so that the increases stay close as a % of the blinds..
Ante's should never be more that 1/3 of the small blind at most and should be as flat a progression as possible..
Have a look at a WSOP structure for a good example...

That being the case, you can take the second place finishers and put them in a two table shoot-out, where the winner of each table moves to the final, which would then be a two table 14 player event.
And, yeah, your blind sked is kind of wonky . . . :-X
If anything we will do this after the June 26th Championships.
I greatly appreciate the feedback..
