3 of a Kind
I’m hosting a short Razz mini-tourney next week. I’ve been reading the little I can find online and on here about tourney structure for 7-stud and Razz, but some of the info is conflicting.
Looking for a suggested structure and hopefully some understanding about what works vs. doesn’t.
7-8 players.
Target play time 2.5 hours (this is just low-stakes exploring the game, we want time for a cash game after.)
Available chip set: T5x300; T25x300; T100x150; T500x50.
My players get quite nitty toward the end of any tourney.
My players have no problems promptly posting individual antes.
What I’m struggling to understand is how to approach the antes. I apologize in advance for all the questions!
How much should the ante be relative to the bet sizes (i.e. vs the small or big bet)? I’ve seen wildly different recommendations on this, but much of the advice is for mixed game tourneys and I’m not clear if that makes a critical difference.
Given that my players aren’t slow to post individual antes, what are the other virtues of a button ante?
If using individual antes, should I increase them relative to the bets as we get short-handed to keep enough “dead” money going into the pot?
Thank you all for passing on your wisdom!
