Believe It Or Not...

I fought my way back to win this tournament after this brutal hand (both all-in pre-flop). Blinds went north of $3k/orbit with only $15k in play. I dropped down to $200 in chips three-handed before I chewed my way back. Bad Beats represent!

New Blind Levels

We've been discussing potential changes to the blind schedule for the last couple of seasons. It seems like the game always becomes a "ship" fest later in the evening, so we would like to make a change to eliminate the $50/$100 blind level (also eliminating the need for a $50 chip in play) as well as inserting two additional blind levels later in play. This should provide for a more effective transition to higher blind levels without extending gameplay on into the night. Note new and old blind schedules below. Unless anyone has a significant beef with this change, we will look to implement tomorrow evening.

New blind levels:
$100/$200
$200/$400
$300/$600
$400/$800
$500/$1,000
$700//$1,500
$1,000/$2,000
$1,500/$3,000
$2,000/$4,000
$3,000/$6,000
$4,000/$8,000
$5,000/$10,000
