Question: Great site, love to read the question and answers section. I run a home game at my house once a month. 50$ buy in with one $25 rebuy, I get 16 to 21 people everytime and like they say if you have it they will come. You start out with 3500 in Tourney chips and the blind structure is 25-50, 50-75, 50-100, 75-125, 75-150, 100-200, 2-3 all the way to 1000 and then 1000-2000 and so on. the blinds are 15 min and depending on how it's going I sometime drop it to 10 minute in later rounds. Obviously it's a long tournament but I want people do get some value for there money. Currently it's been lasting about 7 hours and I'm trying to shave about an hour off. It starts at 5pm and runs till about midnight. I've had 3 tournaments thus far and I keep tweaking it a little each time, so it's almost dialed in. When people leave they always have a great time so I guess it's a success. If you have any Ideas for my tournament please feel free to say so. I figured I would share with you the way I run my home game.

Thanks Sean
