decent tourney set up?
 

hear me out please.


this is a tourney amongst friends. some are good to decent poker players, some are guys who just like to play cards and get away from the wives.


here is what i am thinking, so Poker is fun, for everyone.

$20 buy in with a $10 re-buy or ad-on before the 5th blind raise.
starting 10,000 chips, blinds start 100-200, go up every 20 minutes.
the re-buy/ad-on will be another 10,000 in chips.
this thing will not go longer then 3 hours, this i know. that would be perfect, then the people who just came to get away can leave and the others can play some more.
using 3 chips to start out with (100, 500, 1000 (15-15-1)) will bring a 5000 chip into play when needed.


i just want everybody to have a good time.
does this make sense at all?
thanks



feedback greatly appreciated.

Normally this is called "before the 5th round". Blind raise means something else entirely.... unless you actually meant what you said and your group really is about crazy fun poker. :P

You telling, or asking? Full blind structure and number of players, please... because unless you're doubling the blinds every time (T800/1600 during Round 4) and/or have a small number of players, that may not be true.
It probably is, but it sounds as if you're assuming it might end in three hours, rather than knowing it will.

... and you're not playing a cash ring game, as opposed to a tournament, because..... ?
