All I am looking for advice on how to play this blind structure. Basically, when do I need to start making some moves and start accumulating chips. This is a live tourney with about 250 to 300 peeps. Starting stacks are 20K, with 40 minute levels. Any advice appreciated o 25/50 o 50/100 o 75/150 o 125/250 o 125/250 w/25 ante o 200/400 w/50 ante o 400/800 w/100 ante o 700/1400 w/200 ante o 1000/2000 w/300 ante o 2000/4000 w/500 ante o 4000/8000 w/1000 ante o 6000/12000 w/1500 ante o 10000/20000 w/3000 ante o 20000/40000 w/5000 ante o 30000/60000 w/8000 ante o 60000/120000 w/15000 ante o 100000/200000 w/30000 ante o 150000/300000 w/40000 ante o 300000/600000 w/80000 ante o 500000/1000000 w 100000 ante |

The earlier, the better. Always good advice. When is it not A good time to accumulate? The object is not to lose too much of your stack, percentage wise, at any point. You will still be at 75/150 blinds after the 2nd break. With 40 minute levels, the fishing is better earlier. Edited by TheMonkeydeSade/nh_gg_gl_fu, Mar 20 2009, 12:50 PM.

I know you are always looking to accumulate chips, but my style live and online is fairly conservative. I usually only play premium hands early on, but play those hands aggressiviely. However, as the blinds start to rise, and the antes kick in my starting hand selection loosen's up some. I was just looking at when that best would be. I put this blind structure into some software I have and seems that at about level 9 is when things really start heating up, and it truly is worth trying to steal blinds/antes from time to time. I guess I should have put that in my first post, because I was just looking as to how others may play it. |

It depends on the skill level of the other players. Beginners and tight players... I tend to play aggressive at the get go and then tighten up as they loosen up. |
