Corrected from other thread.

How many blinds do the tournies you usually play in start with.

Just curious.

The one tourney I try to play in (which isn't often), is 250bb (2500 w/ 5-10).

[links_slayer]

T5000 Tourney with starting blinds of 25-50 = 100 BB

We mix up the starting stacks depending on the number of players. Two of the most commonly used are:

8 x T25
13 x T100
5 x T500
1 x T1000

-or-

8 x T25
8 x T100
4 x T500
2 x T1000

[squiggly]

T5000 with 25-50 as well.

Up to 12 people:
12 - T25
12 - T100
7 - T500

Otherwise the 8/8/4/2 setup as links_slayer has.

[Button Potato]

T10,000 Tournament set (30 person tourney)

Starting stacks:

8 - T25
8 - T100
8 - T500
5 - T1000

Starting blinds

T25-T50 (200bb)

T10,000 with 100/200 starting blinds; starts a little high, but we usually try to play two 8 player STT's in one evening - about 5 hours.

I can't vote for just one.

We alternate amongst three different styles of tournaments. The blind progression is the same for each, but the starting stack sizes and length of rounds varies.

With starting blinds of 25/50, we have-

1) T5000 (100x)- 15 min blinds for 2.5 hours, 10 mins after that
2) T7500 (150x)- 15 min blinds for 4 hours, 10 mins after that
3) T10000 (200x)- 30 min blinds for first 5 hours, 20 mins for 2 hours, 10 mins after that

So, the pace of the tourney is controlled not only by the ratio of chips to blinds, but also the blind structure (levels and duration).

For after the main tourney, sometimes we play faster tourneys with T5000 and 10 min blind levels or T3000-T3500 with 15 min blind levels.

[moneymaker]

we usually play T10000 T20000 or T30000

the starting blinds are 25SB-50BB always

the blind levels depend between 15 and 20 minutes

According to the poll I'd say it depends on how long you wanna play. For a long easy and funny saturday night game take more, for a sharp and agressive thursday night game, choose less.

T20000 with 100/200 starting blinds.
My group likes big stack poker.
