Cash Game 8-Game Blinds & Game Recommendations (1 Viewer)

[B0mbp0t]

Hola!

Looking to run a live cash 8-game in a week or two, and trying to sort out the blinds/antes/bringins. My cash set is $.25/$1/$5/$25/$100.

Our group is used to playing NL/PL $1/$1, so I was thinking along these lines:

• Limit & Draw Games - $.50 SB, $1 BB, $1/$2 small/big bet
• Stud Games - $.25 ante, $.50 bringin, $1 complete, $1/$2 small/big bet
• NL/PL Games - $.50 SB, $1 BB

Also: we'd prefer to play 8-handed, but that's an issue w/ 2-7 triple draw. Thoughts on running 2-7 triple draw with a shuffle of all discards into the stub once once you run out of sufficient cards in the stub, and not waiting till the end of that round? Or should we just change it to single draw?

Thoughts/input welcome!

Edit - this won't be the first time playing 8-game for them, we play it on Stars in my tourneys several times a year. Just first time playing live cash version of it.

I do not have experience myself, but other threads say fixed limits should be about 4x larger than blinds, so $1/1 blinds players would probably be playing similarly to $2/4 limits.

This is one such thread:

If your group has been playing 1/1 NLHE, I recommend the following:

• 25c/50c blinds for Pot-Limit games
• 50c/$1 blinds for No-Limit games
• $1/$2 blinds for 2/4 Fixed-Limit games
• for Fixed-Limit 2/4 Stud games: $2 table ante, $1 bring-in, $2/$4 small/big bets

Play a complete orbit before changing games. For games where insufficient cards exist for 8 players (Triple-Draw, SOHE, etc.), have the dealer position sit out.
