I had a Poker Tournament in my home!

Two days ago i held a toruney in my house! It was awesome.

26 players (friends), buyin was 15$. Startingchips was 10 000 and very small blinds in the beginning like 25-50. But it was okay, we played for fun. The tournament lasted 8 hours wich was perfect. The winner took 160$

If you have many pokerinterested friends, i really recommend this. You have alot to do as tournament director, but it's worth it!

i have tournys at my house all the time but it can be a real pain setting them up but i agree its worth it to take all there money lol

Sounds like a lot of fun. 8 Hours seems pretty long though. How often did u raise your blinds?

lol sounds brill i shpud do one. I think you shpuld raise blinds abut every 10 20 mins or hourly depening on stacks in comparison to blinds gl with the tounreys tho...

Hi - Sounds like a lot of fun! Was it NL or pot limit or limit holdem? Eight hours does seem like a long time for 26 people. Online tourney blinds raise every 7 or 8 minutes. I'd think a home tourney would be longer because I'm sure there was alot of table talk and eating, etc. I hope you broke for lunch or dinner! I'd be fammished after 8 hrs. LOL

I'd love to do this in my home!

At a youth camp for church, I ran a 15 person, very time consuming.

Lol I like your sig Jeter, that is so true, I dont understand why people go all in with AKs. Its only 50-50 against any pairs.
