Tourney T100 base single table (1 Viewer)

[sleepyhead]

I recently purchased a T100 set with the following breakdown:

150-T100
150-T500
200-T1000
75-T5000

I typically host one single table tournament game per month and my current set starts at T25. My guys like huge stacks to start, which I conceded early on to keep them happy. I bought the new set just to mix it up and am looking for the best starting stacks to max out the above set breakdowm. We allow one rebuy if felted prior to the second break which usually amounts to 1-3 rebuys total. We try to keep the game to about 5 to 5.5 hours with a few 10 minute breaks mixed in.

I’d appreciate any suggestions on breakdowns and blind levels given the above parameters. Keeping in mind this is a casual game with a mix of skills but the general consensus amongst the players is the more chips to start the better.

Pic of new set for reference, which I’m still waiting to receive:

(And don’t worry I have more than enough Paulsons kicking around for my cash games)

100-200
200-400
300-600
400-800
600-1200
800-1600
1000-2000
1500-3000
2000-4000
3000-6000
4000-8000
6000-12000 etc.

Looks great! I’m gonna use this at my next game.

Could one add a 100/100 level at the top? Any thoughts?

If I were to make this a rebuy tourney, I’d end that at say, the 2nd break? So 800/1600 is last level of rebuy period?

We do this rebuy, and generally cut off at 1000/2000 break

Setting up as we type!

hey @Josh Kifer curious if you get people re-buying in/end of that last level to have less than 20bbs?

..... We had someone rebuy last night at 4bb.

Degens will degen. But if someone wants to rebuy at the single worst time to rebuy, that's on them.

 

[MJM]

Yup, makes sense, exactly who you want at the table
