Message: [QUOTE="OzExorcist, post: 2897139, member: 23910"] In terms of making the game go faster or slower, my favourite rule of thumb is you'll generally get down to your winner when you have about 10BB total chips in play. So you can work backwards from that. Say you get eight players and you all start with 2500: that puts 20,000 in play, so you expect your game to wrap up at around the 1k-2k blinds level. If you start down at 25/50 blinds it'll take you eight to 12 levels (depending on just how steep or shallow you want to make the increments) to get to 1k-2k. Play 15-minute levels and your game is probably wrapped up in 2-3 hours. 15 minute levels go by pretty fast in live poker though, especially if the game is self-dealt... [/QUOTE]
