Blind Structure - Home Game

[Waz1892]

I"m having a Home Game with 10 players...(at my new garage conversion poker Room!)

Any opinons / improvements / advice on current proposed Blind Structure

10,000 chips. 40 mins blinds. 10 players.  19.30pm start

Thank-you in anticipation...main concern is I want to avoid at all cost for as long as possible a Crap shoot....aiming for 3 /4 players left for it still to be a game of skill

25/50
50/100
100/200
150/300
300/600
500/1000
1000/2000
1500/3000
3000/6000
5000/10000
7500/15000

Whilst I am generally not a fan of re-buy tournaments, I think they really are the best option for a home game. At least everyone can remain involved and have some fun for an hour (or however long you decide).

What happens to the guy who gets busted with set over set in the 2nd hand of the night? Does he just get up and leave?

goes in the kitchen and sets up a cash game!!  

I did use parts of the hometourney set up...useful too...re-buys are good defo for home game but i wanted to stick with FO option..as our normal home game is re-buy..gives it all a lil edge..(and stops the bleedin chasers in the game...some dont get pot odds!!)

re-buy first hour then first out serves drinks to the table, second out becomes dealer.

Just actualy come from a home/club game, which has loads of play in, using the levels u had, with the added ones on top. The clock that was used was 15 minutes, and we had 13 players and took 3 1/2 hrs to play and did not get crab shooty at all, possibly when 4 left, but still Av chips was more than 10BB..

For you game I would probably suggest something similar, maybe increase the clock to whatever you wish, 30 or 40 minutes..

10,000 chips on a 40 minute clock STT is very deep stack imo, and I cant see it being finished within 6/7 hours possibly, and I would go with a 20 to 30 min clock max, depending on how long you want it to last..

The home/league games that I"m involved in has a 30 min clock, 10,000 starting stack and a blind structure of

25 / 50
50 / 100
75 / 150
15 min Break
100 / 200
200 / 400
300 / 600
15 min Break
400 / 800
600 / 1200
800 / 1600
15 min Break
1000 / 2000
1500 / 3000
2000 / 4000
4000 / 8000

The game generally starts at 6:30 and is over between midnight and 1am, usually at the 1000/2000 level.

Oh, and we have 8 players sat at the table. As to what happens to the first person out, they generally end up dealing.

seems like a good idea as you both play the " added " levels...

6/7hrs is what I was aiming for..and defo Deep stack..with the players standard not superb..I"m expecting a lil loose play that you guys would be expecting. thus maybe all over within 5 if i stick with 40mins blind..

Super advice and I thank-you for the help...creating quite a buzz down our way amongst me mates..so i didn"t want to end up with a crap shoot...
