Good Tourney Structure?


Recommended Posts

I am going to have a tournament in a few days and would just like some ideas for a good structure. The tournament needs to be about 5 to 5 and a half hours long, and i would like to have a decent amount of play. There will be about 15 to 20 players. What is a good starting stack and a good blind structure????? there will also be one rebuy.If anyone has any good ideas please help. Thanks

The game will last honestly based on the player types. If they are completely unaware of anything past the basics it could be quick base on people going all-in with QJ with top pair. If they have some idea past the basics and know how to fold, then we are talking a starting stack of lets say 5k with starting blinds of 25-50 and 30m levels. Plus the rebuy would help keep the game going a great deal.So say 5k startingBlinds0-30m 25-5030-60m 50-10060-90m 100-20090-120m 150-300120-150m 200-400150-180m 250-500180-210m 400-800210-240m 500-1000240-270m 600-1200270-300m 1000-2000EDIT: Actually maybe even more starting chips? 5k times the max 20 people is only 100k and at the 5 hour mark 1k-2k blinds is quite massive. Maybe 10k starting chips?

looks like a good one to me. most of the players in the game dont know how to fold top pair but they also have no idea of how much to bet either so i could take a while or it could go fast but the structure looks like one that the good players could take advantage of thanks for the help

First, there's one rebuy... so there will be more chips in play.But if he wants it to last around 5 hours, then 1/2k isn't big at all with 100-200k in play. I might start with less.

Maybe 5k would work, I am not sure but I think either would do well. I don't know about less but Ive never ran a tourney so...GL DM

thanks man hoping to take it down. and have a good chance unless i run into some cooler situations. there are a few other ok players in the game but they dont have an idea of pot odds or implied odds but they have decent natural reading skills
