| How to deal with this guy. (Long Post) Okay this guy always comes to my games and complains about the number of chips every body starts with. Needless to say he starts and some of the others join in, even though i think they are as clueless as he is. Anyways, I had been playing with 15 min blinds T800, and our games usually took 2-3 hours. Not to bad for me, but some weren't happy.
So let me back up some here: last month he starts complaining that it isnt the dollar amount of the chips, its just the number of the chips each person gets!! (Everybody would start with a stack of 45 chips) So I decide to change the chip structure and remove the lesser colors- now down to 4 chips(25, 50, 100, 250) and 1 to color up (500). And we start with T1500- 8x25, 6x50, 5x100, 2x250. So we play and he then starts to complain about the fact the blinds are two long with so much chip money in play (I do have to admit the blinds were a little soft, but not terrible.)
So now I am pissed, but don't say to much out loud because this guy is serious dead money; and if he didn't bring at least one other guy with him every time I would ask him to leave.
As a result I have decided on the following blind structure and want to know if this is agressive enough to make this guy realize that it was better the old way. If it is not, please offer suggestions to make it even more aggressive.
T1500- 8x25, 6x50, 5x100, 2x250
Ante Small Big
-- 25 50
-- 50 75
-- 75 100
25 100 150
25 150 200
25 250 500
50 500 750
50 750 1000
Last level applies until there are two players remaining.
We usually get 10-15 guys and have split the tables to 6 and 6 before when only 12 show then play down to only 6 left then combine. (I know that is another story for a different day!)
Any suggestions/thoughts are appreciated!! |
