So I held my first monthly freezeout at my place this weekend, and I loved it. Only seven players but it was fun. I'm thinking of making it a $10 rebuy instead, unlimited rebuys at or below starting stack in the first two hours and an addon at that point. We played with 2000 to start (I'd make the rebuy 1000). I used a very slow blind structure (below) and the tournament lasted about four hours not including breaks. The slow blind structure definitely allowed the better players to come out ahead. I also had a global bounty in this tournament. It was interesting, but fairly ineffective... I think if I had 24 players it would be very cool.
Notable hands... KK vs KK vs AQs... AQ flops TP and takes out one of the KK's.
88 vs JJ, both flop a set. 88 predictably loses all his money. Crazy thing is, 88 was the KK from the earlier hand that didn't bust.
Here's the blind schedule I used. It ended halfway through 400/800:
