Tourney Blind structure (1 Viewer)

[1AAACEHOLE]

Was wanting peoples input on this. In one of the groups of people I play poker with instead of having the blinds go up on a timed basis they go up every time someone gets knocked out instead. I believe to keep things a little more even because its based more on the number of players left and chip stacks. And it’s not as frustrating when people are not playing attention and the time is running down on the blind clock. I’m not sure how I feel about it. I like some aspects of it and some I don’t. But its not up to me so it is what it is. Has anyone ever heard of this or had experience with this structure? We also start off with a smaller starting stack 50xbb because the blinds are not going to get out of control fast without having had many hands being played because they are controlled. I think I would be happier with a larger starting stack but thinking maybe it would make the game last to long.
Any input anyone has on this would be great.

Thanks

That style of blinds is completely new to me. Just seems like 50bb is a little too short. I would think 75bb-100bb starting stack with that type of setup would make for a decent game.

There was a tournament called the "savage average", where blinds were updated to keep the average stack at 50BB, instead of being timed. Hopefully these posts help.
