Alcohol
Nobody else there had a problem with the way it was resolved. It is a friendly game there were a few drinks but he was the only one letting it “flow“. I was just curious as to what others thought.
He was making other players uncomfortable and/or annoying them. I didn't find out...
He said he didn’t know.
After he paid me and was angry he kept insisting seat 5, who had an even bigger stack must have taken some of his chips and they somehow got all mixed up. He was really a mess.
This was my mistake I usually do know the approximate value. I was distracted with hosting duties. It’s been a long time since we had a game at our place.
Curious if your players do this even on a break and how you keep track/verify the info.
Something I usually do..like I said it’s been a...
My game. The player in question has a large stack ~40k. I gave him a rack to transport his chips to the new table at seat 4.
Worth noting he had too much to drink. Even though we were moved 3 seats apart I don’t think he did this on purpose. I don’t think he knew what he was doing.
I had a...
We started with 21 players and have 5 rebuys.
Just b4 9pm there were 2 players left who decided to split.
Tournament ended much earlier than I had anticipated but everyone had a good time.
Highlight of the evening was when a storm rolled in very quickly and blew the tent out of the ground...
21 confirmed now. Made changes @BGinGA suggested and stretched out the last break. If there are more rebuys then expected I’m prepared to delete 6000/12000 and/or 12000/24000. This is what I have now (typo fixed lol)
20k starting stack
25min blinds
2pm 50/100
2:25 75/150
2:50 100/200
3:15...
I guess we are a weird bunch? We want to hang out and play lots of poker. There’s also going to be a low-stakes cash game once enough players have busted.
Like I said in the op ideally I’d like the tournament to end between 10 & 11pm-but it must be done by midnight.
This crowd is looking for a ton of play. I am trying to maximize value while still adhering to the timeframe.
I’d get rid of the dinner break and add
250/500
2500/5000

The host is not provinding a meal and wants to give players ample time to get food, eat, and enjoy the pool. We are playing outdoors under a tent.
I’m helping a friend run a tourney this weekend and would like some advice to ensure that the structure is providing max value while still adhering to a particular time frame.
Expecting 15-20 players
Allowing up to 2 rebuys per player until the end of the first break (not expecting many...
