Question... I'm aware that timed blinds are the "proper" way to go but in some not-too serious home games that I've attended we've just raised the blinds every once (or twice) around the table. No particular reason... I guess timed blinds just seems sort of "serious" or overly official for a fun home game (granted buy-ins are usually ~$150 over the course of the night). The "once around the table" method seems to have worked out ok.

How bad is this? Does this result in some sort of bias?

I haven't really thought it through... I guess doing it this way could create an incentive for the big stacks to play fewer hands, allowing the blinds to increase quicker, causing more problems for the short stacks?

Anyways, I figured someone could probably explain the advantage(s) of timed blinds?
