Hi all, back in the tournament forum asking for advice. You’ve never let me down before so here I am again.
I’ve done a quick search and can’t find a match, but I have a tournament I need to put together with the following perameters.
22 people are at an event of ours, and I’m expecting anywhere between 15-20 people will play. It will be over 3 tables, so orbits shouldn’t take long.
The main kicker is that is just finishing within 3 hours…
The chips I have are:
180 x 25c
300 x $1
200 x $5
100 x $25
20 x $100
Our table is used to our cash games and doesn’t like to play super deep, and we only have three hours.
My initial thoughts was a simple start of $100 starting stack.
15 x $1
7 x $5
2 x $25
Starting with $1 , $1. Blinds. 100 BB start.
None standard I know, but not problematic?
To end in 3 hours I was thinking big and reasonably quick blind levels something like this:
$1 / $1. 25 min
$1 / $2. 25 mins
$2 / $4. 25 min
$4 / $8. 25 min
$8 / $15. 25 min
$15 / $30. 25 min
$30 / $60 25 min
$60 / $100
Knowing our group, that will probably end it.
Are there any obvious pitfalls here? Or is there a painfully obviously / better way of doing it?
I don’t really need the 25c in play and the two 25c racks are slightly different despite being blue, so not essential I use them.
Thanks as always.
Cheers
