You should make the blinds higher in tournaments. It's really hard to get a decent sized pot going the first 15-30 minutes because the blinds are like 166th of your stack.
166th? Are you sure? 1500 starting stack and blinds start at 10-20. So the blinds = 30 = 50th of your stack to start. If you are talking only bb then after 10 minutes the bb =30 so then it's a 50th of your stack. But you did say blinds so after 10 min = a 33rd of your stack. That is for normal trny and deep stack you double it and still not 166th stack.
In the higher dollar buy-ins like the 100 chip and 50 chip buy-in they start out at 166th of your stack. I feel like I'm just wasting my time the first part of the tournament because you can't bet without someone knowing you have a good hand.
Very unusual to have someone want bigger blinds vs lower blinds! I agree play a turbo. The slower the structure the more skill vs luck there is, in general.
I don't think it has anything to do with skill vs. luck I've just noticed that in the first little bit of the tournament people's stacks are still almost the same, unless you get someone who doubles there stack from someone going all in. I'd rather have the blinds start out at 1/50 of your stack, when you play a lot of the tournaments every day it sucks having to sit through the first little bit of the tournament where almost nothing happens.
