My (rich) friend is interested in turning his (huge) basement into sort of a poker room for a day or two in celebration of school ending. Basically we're inviting 20 or 30 players with about 30 dollars each to play from noon til morning. He has one table to fit 10 people and a couple of smaller tables that can fit 5 or 6. What would be the best set up to keep everyone interested in playing all night.

Here's what I'm thinking:

One of the 10-person tables runs a constant 5 dollar freezeout tournament that lasts 90 minutes. (possibly different games)

One of the 5 person tables plays a $5 max .10/.20 NL game.

One 5 person playing .25/.50 limit (?) hold em.

One 5 person table playing .10/ .20 P. E. S. H (Pineapple, O 8, Stud, Hold em)

Players can chip in 5 dollars for food and drinks all night.

Will this keep people playing for all night?
Do you think this is all feasible?

Also should the tournament chips be different from the cash chips to prevent and trouble? How's that done?

I don't know if $30 is going to last people a 24 hour session

Have other people bring tables and chairs and you could either do a NL Holdem Shootout or just normal MTT to kick it off.

A round robin heads-up tourney with whoever would want to be in would keep everyone busy for a while.

We did something once that worked well. Everyone bought in in a freezeout. As the number of people knocked out increased, the need for extra tables decreased. Once a table was no longer needed, it was used to start up a ring game. This allows for tournament actiion, but still includes people who have been knocked out if they want to continue to play. That way, they are free to leave at any time after being eliminated, but a decent sized prize pool is still possible.
