Cash Game Breakdown .25/.50 and .50/1 NL (1 Viewer)

That's what my group does, and no doubt, it's a little odd. And pretty much everybody who plays at that table is prepared to re-buy up to $100 or more. So why do we all start at $20? No idea. It's just what we do.
The short stacks seem to result in early all-ins, which results in lots of rebuys, and as the night moves on, the rebuys becom 30 or 40 or 50, so the money gets out there.
So yeah, we start low, but it works for us. I would never sit down at a casino with 40 big blinds, no way, never. But that's how this particular home game plays.

My crew was like that for a long time. I finally started buying in for $40 one night and some followed suit and some didn't. A few of the guys would do weird numbers like $27 or $31 just to be different. We have one guy who never rebuys after he busts and then a guys like me willing to go up to $100 or a little more. It's a buzz kill when no rebuy guy busts and leaves early and all of a sudden we are short handed for the rest of the night.

Oh we have a guy like that. But instead of no rebuy, he'll rebuy for $10 or $12. And occasionally he'll buy a third time, but I shit you not, it will be for $5 or $7.
Two things about him:
He's the only guy who will storm out angry when he gets felted by a cooler or a bad beat.
He's almost certainly got a whole lot more money than the rest of us.
Oh well. He plays his cards only, without regard to anything else happening at the table. And he's easy to read. So, whatever - it takes all kinds.

It takes all kinds or whoever we can get to say yes to a game. It's become more challenging as time has gone on.

My group has been great at $50 buyins (@.25/.50), but none of us are wild and crazy or at least not enough of us to have very many rebuys Most I've had on the table with 9 players was ~$700

I'd say that is about the max I've seen on the table in our game as well.
