Home Game Structure.

Hello all!

I am going to a home game tonight and have been tasked to set up the structure.  We are aiming to play 4 mini tournies each to last about 50 mins to an hour.  I would like to go for the old tribecca structure but forget how it wend for the STTs.

Can anybody remember it!?

i think it was

20/40
30/60
50/100
75/150
100/200
150/300
200/400

If they're only an hour then you'll be looking at each one only lasting about 25-30 hands at most.

We tend to play the Laddies SnG structure at our homegames with 1500 chips and 20 minute blinds:

10/20
15/30
25/50
50/100
100/200
200/400
400/800
500/1000

When 6 or 7 handed, and given a spread of ability, we rarely get past the 200/400 level which allows three games per 7pm - 1am evening. We were 9 handed for first two game last night and 8 handed for the third and wrapped up at 1am with a deal when heads up.

If you want there to be any semblance of poker played you need to look to make them last a couple of hours each if possible. I know it's tough for those that get knocked out early, but you need to allow for some proper poker.
