I'll be along to this. Bit of a mad structure imo, but I'll be home for the wkend and poker is fairly scarce around monaghan^^

Mr. Wolf

Glad to hear it, i've used this structure before and it actually works out quite well. The important thing is that with bonus chip and top up the average stack after the break is $21,000 and the blinds are $400/$800. They are 20 minute blinds but if the big blind/average stack ratio gets to heavy i will replay certain key levels.
There should be a lot of good side action on the night also.
See you then Pete
