Friday we only had 4 players (Me, 99%Evil,ARROWOOD and one other) and decided to do some different stuff.

$10 buy in ($40 in the pot) - T200 tournament - no rebuys - 10 minute blinds.
When it got to heads up - chipleader took $25 and 2nd took $15 and we started another tourney, partly so the first one out didn't have to sit too long.

We got 5 games in from 8:30 -12:45 - so a little over 4 hours.

1. NL Holdem (regular T200 blinds)
2. PL Omaha (regular T200 blinds)
3. NL Crazy Pineapple (regular T200 blinds)
4. NL Razz (same bet levels with a SB size ante, SB size bring in and BB complete the bet)
5. NL Omaha 8 hi/lo (regular T200 blinds)

Pretty fun night.

Good post. Especially this time of year, we're often short players and our group prefers tourneys on the whole.

This is a good idea that does look like fun.

Thanks for posting it.

I like this idea as well...good stuff.

It was a good night...except for the "one other"

I was psyched to play Razz...and got booted first...you can't push some folks out, especially when the game is new.

We're often short, and I just found this thread; I'm going to try this out and I'll let you all know how it goes. Thanks for the post man.

sounds like fun. we recently had an event similar. i had only 5 in a game due to my other regulars being out of town and sick. the 5 playing were pretty knowledgeable, so we played a NL tourney then switched to HORSE with 15 minute levels. I am working on another idea when we only have 6 or so players. Heads-up tournament double elimination style..

This sounds good. We could have used it last week when we only had 4 show up for a game. I wanted to play small tourneys, but the other guys thought they would take too long. This is a great compromise.

Good times.

That's a great idea and sounds like a great time. Do any of you guys have any other fun games to play with a small crowd?
