The NumbBlowMe Tournament!

This will be very interesting.

In 2 weeks, Thursday, October 23, 2008, NumbBono, BuddyDank, Joanada and the rest of us at BuddyDankRadio is hosting a very special tournament called the NumbBlowMe. Of Course, Full Tilt censored it, so on Full Tilt it's called the NumbBlow. Sure.

The buy-in is 10 cents + $1 juice. Yep. 1000% Rake.

But there's gotta be a reason for this Madness, right? Of course there is!

It is a Rebuy Tournament, and the Rebuys are 10 cents each.

That's right. TEN CENTS. ONE DIME. TWO NICKELS.

Here it is in perspective.

Let's assume we draw 72 people to this tournament. If all 72 re-buy right away, the prize pool jumps to $14.40. Now there will be winners every hand, so there won't be 72 rebuys per hand, but let's assume that the average Rebuy Per Hand (RPH) is 4 per table (counting double rebuys). 8 tables for a 72 Player Tournament. And there are 60 hands in the Rebuy Period.

60x4 = 240. 240 x 8 = 1920. 1,920 Rebuys. Throw in the Add-ons and round it up for simplicity purposes... 2000 Total Buys + Rebuys + Addons. Thus only a $200 prize pool, but that's not the main point. The Main Point is shoving every hand and what will follow after the rebuy period.

2000 Buys + Rebuys + Add-ons. Let's assume all 72 Players add on. so 2000-72 = 1928. Times that by 1000, and you get 1,928,000. The Add-ons are 1500 chips, so 72 x 1500 = 108,000.

1,928,000 + 108,000 = 2,028,000. That's the total number of chips on the table. Divide by 72 and you get the Average Stack at the first break: 28,170 (rounded). The Blind Level when the rebuy period ends is 60/120. So the AVERAGE stack will have 235 Big Blinds.

Yikes. This might take a while.

But it will be guaranteed fun, that is for sure!

Let's assume that an average of 4 rebuys per table (rpt) is gonna be easily in the under (I'll take the over on that one - I'm thinking PooooshFest)...but I think your math is correct in that this will be some seriously deep poker after the break.
