ridiculous structures

[SapphireTiger 0]

Here's a topic i haven't heard from for a while...A lot of us have played in home games or games of players who know little about poker.What's the most ridiculous tournament or cash game structure have you played in?i was playing wiht my family, and we each started with 100 chips...1/2 blinds. they decided they wanted to up the blinds every time it got to me. Well...we started out with 10...but as people got eliminated, the blinds kept going up...plus less people means less hands between blinds raising. Basically the blinds got up to 64/128 and then they realized that it wasn't a smart structure.

that has to be one of the worst i have ever heard of......whenever i play with people who dont really play i always recommend a large amount of chips relative to the blinds and when they ask why i just respond with "trust me"

I heard at McGinnis Front Row. You start with 20 chips and the blinds are 1/2. They double every 15 minutes. :shock:

A Casino here in LA has a rebuy tourny that starts ou with 200 chips and blinds of 25-25, needless to say you are allowed a rebuy immediately and everyone does...so this supposed $30 tourny gets an upward of 120 from each player...Luckily I placed

compared to the tourneys at my B&M, that's an awesome structure. MTT, 1500 chips, blinds the exact same as the above except up every 15 min. also, single table satellites to tourneys with the exact structure as posted above, 1000 chips, blinds up every 10 hands, 25/50 to 75/150...
