Title: Urgent Advice needed - setting up a MTT Post by: Rod Paradise on July 14, 2006, 01:59:50 PM I know this is probably on the wrong section, but anyway....
40 players 5000chips (25/50/100/500/1000). 3 hour tournament wanted (yes a bit of a chip-chucker, but that's the time). What blinds should I have, ideally low for the first few levels to allow newbies to get a bit of play in, I can add an ante for the final table if I need to speed it up as I'll be the dealer. Thanks Title: Re: Urgent Advice needed - setting up a MTT Post by: matt674 on July 14, 2006, 02:10:28 PM i'd go for 9 20 minute levels
Hour 1: 25/50, 50/100, 100/200 Hour 2: 200/400, 300/600, 400/800 Hour 3: 600/1200, 800/1600, 1000/2000 Additional antes level 5 onwards if it looks a slow tourney.

Cheers Matt. That's about what I was thinking. I wasn't sure whether to make it a bit steeper - but I'd rather have to introduce an ante than have the blinds raising too fast.

trial and error with the first go i'm afraid until you know the kind of players you'll have turning up :) Title: Re: Urgent Advice needed - setting up a MTT Post by: mikkyT on July 14, 2006, 02:33:22 PM depends how willing your players are to "chuck em in", if you have 39 rocks and yourself Love the implication there matt, well done rotflmfao Title: Re: Urgent Advice needed - setting up a MTT Post by: matt674 on July 14, 2006, 02:35:17 PM depends how willing your players are to "chuck em in", if you have 39 rocks and yourself Love the implication there matt, well done rotflmfao 0:-) Title: Re: Urgent Advice needed - setting up a MTT Post by: Rod Paradise on July 14, 2006, 02:57:28 PM depends how willing your players are to "chuck em in", if you have 39 rocks and yourself then you may need to do 15 minute levels and maybe add a 150/300 early on with then a 2000/4000 and 3000/6000 at the end. trial and error with the first go i'm afraid until you know the kind of players you'll have turning up :) I caught that one too. ;tk; I'm not playing - stand in TD for a Rugby Club fundraiser - could be fun ;goodvevil; Mikky, Matt and I met on the final table at BB2 - I wouldn't tell you who got further 8) Title: Re: Urgent Advice needed - setting up a MTT Post by: mikee_j on July 14, 2006, 03:02:57 PM 40 players, 5000 chips = 200,000 chips in play
your going to have to have a seriously aggressive blind schedule if you want to finish in 3 hours, unless you make it 2500 or 2000 chips per player my poker society at uni had a 3 hour slot, we usually had 20-35 runners starting with 2,500 with blinds: 25-50 50-100 100-200 150-300 5min break 200-400 300-600 400-800 500-1000 5min break 1000-2000 2000-4000 Title: Re: Urgent Advice needed - setting up a MTT Post by: Rod Paradise on July 14, 2006, 03:25:20 PM 40 players, 5000 chips = 200,000 chips in play your going to have to have a seriously aggressive blind schedule if you want to finish in 3 hours, unless you make it 2500 or 2000 chips per player my poker society at uni had a 3 hour slot, we usually had 20-35 runners starting with 2,500 with blinds: 25-50 50-100 100-200 150-300 5min break 200-400 300-600 400-800 500-1000 5min break 1000-2000 2000-4000 Cheers Mikkee, I've set it at 20 min rounds 25 50 50 100 100 200 5 min break 200 400 300 600 500 1000 5 min break 800 1600 1200 2400 1600 3200 I'll throw in antes if I need to speed things up. I can add another level of 2500/5000 if we are struggling to finish as well. |
