Message: [QUOTE="ryodejaneiro, post: 898747, member: 32810"] Out of curiosity ScorpionMK, what's the current blind structure like? Sometimes if you double the blinds every level, this can lead to a situation like yours where the blinds get too high later in the rounds. If everyone starts off with 1500 chips, then in my opinion at least, starting with 5-10 blinds is a little too small. This amounts to blinds starting at .667% of the average stack. I think you would want this percentage to be higher, maybe closer to 1 or 2%. For example, with 2%, this would make the starting blinds 15-30. You want to maintain this ratio throughout the game so that once you get down to heads up (with 20 people playing and total of 30,000 chips, 2% of 30,000 is 600 so maybe 300-600 blinds). A setup like this could address one of the problems you're experiencing. About the time issue, I think that shortening the rebuy period is a good idea. If you make it rebuys the first 45 minutes, that's basically 3 levels of play, which is probably acceptable. Even an hour may still be a possibility if it's not unlimited rebuys. Or even still, another possibility may be to eliminate rebuys altogether. But in addition to the shorter rebuy period, you may want to consider introducing antes at that point or shortly thereafter. In my experiences, antes help speed up the game quite a bit. One other thing - a very simple thought, but make sure to color out the smaller chips every hour or so. I know that sometimes, we don't do that in my home games and it takes a while for people to count their chips. These are just some of my thoughts, so take it with a grain of salt!:D [/QUOTE]
