Hello everyone, My names Mike and I have a group of 6 friends including myself, we get together and play cash games from time to time for micro stakes, the group is interested in doing a tournament which I have been tasked with setting up. None of us have ever played tournaments other than online turbos at micro stakes. Id like some input on my current setup to see if I can run this any smoother. Thanks
Chip set - these are all my available chips for this 6 person game
The first one takes advantage of the large number of $5 chips I have and blinds move up faster.
$50,000 starting stack - 25x$5, 15x$25, 10x$50, 15x$100, 9x$500, 13x$1,000, and 6x$5,000
Level 1 starts $5/$10. with a BB ante. Levels go up by 2x every 10 minutes. I added a 5 minute break every half hour to color up. at level 4 (40/80 BB) Id color up all the $5 chips to $25 chips, level 7 (320/640) Id color up the $25s and $50s to $100s and $500s. Level 10 I (2,500/5,000) Id do the final color up taking the $100s and coloring for $500s, $1,000s, and $5,000s
The second structure I came up with is higher starting blinds, still 10 minute levels but progressing the blinds slower. something like 250/500 -- 500/1000 -- 750/1500 -- 1000/2000 -- 1500/3000 -- 2000/4000 -- 2500/5000 -- 3000/6000 -- 4000/8000 -- 5000/10000. Then climbing the small blind by $1,000 every 10 minutes after. I haven't figured out how exactly I'd do the starting stacks and color ups on this structure yet.
I'd love to hear some input or suggestions.
