Message: [QUOTE="ScorpionMK, post: 898432, member: 41048"] I need your help guys...Its a long read but plz we need your help. We have a tournament every Saturday night that starts at 11pm when everyone gets off from work. We usually have 20 people show up, mostly friends and coworkers. Anyway we need help with blinds, so heres some info on tournament. We start it off with 5/10 and blinds go up every 15 mins... We let people rebuy for first 1.5 hrs of play... The problem is that in later stage of tournament the blinds get ridiculously high for our size tournament. We cannot start making more time in between blinds in later stages because we need it to finish soon, today we played until 4am and some people have to wake up for work around 9am so we tournament has to finish around 4am. Here is example of what happened today. We had blinds at 1600, 3200 when there was like 5 people left. We have 20 people x 1500 chips that is 30 000 chips total , if you add re buys we will make it 40 000 chips u can divide that by 5 and that makes it to about 8000 chips which is average so if you have little below that when you get your big blind you are putting in half of your chips. Needless to say its either you have to go all in because next is small blind which will pretty much put you all in. Nobody wants to play if they are not in blinds, because they know even if you have good hand like AJ and you raise the big blind the person has to call you since next time cards are dealt they will have to post small blind which will pretty much put them all in. So there is no point of raising because you cannot steal the blinds and even with AJ you have the same chance of hitting the card as 2-5, you might have little better chance but its not worth risking half of your chipstack on that. This makes the game purely luck... our chip leader kept being beat by 2-7 , 5 5, 4, 9 when he had AJ A10 and called, again no point of raising because they are calling all in w anything. He only called but as soon as other guys would pair anything they would go all in and chip leader would have to call another say 800 900 chips because he had already risked 3200. The guy that won todays tournament around $300 won purely on luck. After posting big blind he went all in w 55, and beat AJ ... Again he went all in w 89o and beat A 10. and another time he was forced to go all in w 2 7o worst hand in poker when chip leader raised w A K. He hit a 2 on turn and won. Chip leader went out in 5th place pissed. I have two solutions which i wll post in reply and i need you guys to tell me if they will work... you are also welcome to post some of your solutions.
