Re: What kind of tourney structure do you guys use?
Assuming it's NLHE
For T1500
25/50
50/100
75/150
100/200
2 hr mark w/ 30 minute levels
With 300 in blind money it isn't likely it goes much longer if it's still going. After that it really depends on how committed you are to not going much more than 2 hours. You could easily go 250/500 for the next level and then 500/1000 for the level after that which would virtually guarantee it doesn't hit the 3 hour mark.
That's the poker stars structure for the first two hours minus the first couple levels but at triple the regular time. Not the most play in the world, but for two hours and live it's about the best you can do. I like something like this more than giving people a ton of chips relative to the first blind but then upping them every 10 minutes or something ridiculous. In live play sometimes that's only a hand or two. Which reminds me, I hate guys that hollywood at home games and take 5 minutes to decide to lay it down and flash bottom pair.
