Hey guys. I have a quick question about adjusting to rising blinds I would really like some help on.
I play $1 on Party because that is what I am rolled for right now. The problem I am facing though is that the tournaments are turbo which means blind levels can rise from level 1 to level 4 before an entire circuit is completed. What is even crazier is the rate at which the blinds increase is often geometric.
Level 1 is 20/40, Level 2 is 30/60, level 3 is 50/100, level 4 is 100/200. I can handle these levels since we start out with 2000 chips and even if I run kinda card dead, I still have an M of 8-10 which is not too bad for push/shove.
However, level 5 which occurs in 3 min brings the blinds up to 200/400. Now my stack has an M of 5 and pretty much everyone except for a lucky big stack is hurting. I think level 6 is 300/600 and 7 is 400/800 which by that time is at the bubble or in the money but I find level 5 to be a huge jump. Unfortunately, there are no alternative tourneys at my buy in at Party so I need to learn how to adjust to this jump. Any advice?
