30 of chips can be $1000 of chips, if you wish, because it is a tourny.

That being said, many tournaments start with 50, 75, or 100 Big Blinds as a starting stack. I hear folks complain about 50BB stacks. Thirty BB stacks is a tough setup, and adds more luck to the equation.

Wouldn't stack size also depend upon how quick you raised the blinds?

30xBB would be a fine stack if blinds never increased.

How quick do you guys raise your blinds usually? Once a rotation? Timer?

We do once a rotation untill about 4 handed then every two.

Don't know if that's normal or not..
I think that is on the fast side of blind raising. But I don't know everything. IMHO, if you are a tight player and complaining about your situation, give yourself 75+ Bets to start a tournament. Tryyyy iiiiit.
