Since joining this forum I have substantially altered the way I will be running my tournaments. Now I am trying to settle on some blinds.. I've gone over tons of material, lots of threads, lots of different blinds schedules. I have done a T5 base, and T1500 chip count for the past 20 years so this is an extremely different setup than I am used to. But I am excited about giving out large stacks to my players.
Here's what I am wanting to achieve:
1. T20K starting stack for 10 players (400BB)
2. Max 1 re-buy
3. Easy going first half (2 hours) due to some new players usually
4. End within 4-5 hours.
I came up with the following blinds on a 20 min intervals, with the 20xBB on the "anticipated' total chips on the table to end around 4.5hr.
are my goals feasible or do I need to reduce the stack size? I would almost prefer the 20xBB to be at stage 13, any ideas?
I'm planning on doing a 16/16/8/4/2 starting stack (T20K), all colour ups will be 1K chips. Anticipating 50% rebuy for a total anticipated chip amount of T300000, and 20xBB would be 15K (level 14 currently which I am trying to get to level 13)
