| I'm hosting a 30 person NL Hold 'Em tourney at home (actually a qualifier among friends for a bigger local tournament.) I'm looking for ideas on starting chips and blind structure. We'd like to finish in 7 hours at the longest. Any ideas would be appreciated. | ||

| What is the buy in? I would say 500 chips each, if you have 15000 chips. Starting blinds at 5/10 and moving up 5 chip increments every 10 minutes. Thats what I would do. | ||

| actually, i meant doubling every 10 minutes, not 5 chip increments, that would take ages. so 5/10 to start, then 10/20, 20/40, etc. | ||

| Thanks for the idea, New. I'd prefer each round to last a little longer, ideally. If we did 1000 starting chips and and started at 10-20 with blinds doubling every 30 minutes, what would you think we could expect on time (in broad terms.) | ||

| Doubling the blinds every 30 minutes is too long. It would take 2 hours just to have the blinds at 80/160. With 30000 chips in the tournament, doubling every 30 minutes would probably make the tournament last about 8 hours depending on the type of players. But you can just try it out, and if you find that its too long of a wait to double the blinds, then just change the blind schedule. Its all a part of the fun. | ||

I would guess that you would need to start with huge stacks and tiny blinds. Myabe use the TEARS structure. I am interested to know how this turns out. Paul Stine College Station, TX | ||

| I'm fine with it running alot shorter than that. I just didn't want anything that would go any longer. Didn't really figure that would be a problem, but thought I'd give the outside limit. We run a weekly single table tourney-style game, but this is the first time we are getting more ambitious. I'll update with how it goes. | ||
