$1/2 NLHE, PLO, and PLO/8. $200-$500 buy in. Reload anytime up to biggest stack on table.

Reload to table makes it a BIGGGG PLO game. If there's no "run it 2/3 times" especially? What's the furthest into the chip bank you've gotten starting with $1-$2 blinds?

$700, and not proud to say it. Was chasing my losses, and it was a bad thing to do.
It partially worked. Ground my way back to only $250 loss.

Noooo. I meant how much chip bank on the table. I could see it getting huge if everyone is rebuying and topping up to match big stack constantly.

$700 seems very reasonable for a match the stack game. (And nice comeback).

Most on the table one night was $12000

Poker is a lot like eggs. No matter how much you raise the price, people are still going to buy.

I hope so. My crew play $0... 20 years now. Going to try and introduce a 1c/1c blinds limit game. But even the suggestion of that had regs saying they're out.

5/10 or 25/50 or 25 on the button… 100 big blinds. People are in for 2-3 rebuys… maybe someone comes in with a mega deep rebuy. Gets big! But all fun. We make sure to feed all the guys, drinks, host everyone and make the fellas feel welcome. It’s brought the group closer, lots of the fellas ladies ended up doing ladies night out while we play lol

I would rather stay home and clip my toenails, detail my car or read the phone book.

Smooth toenails, a clean car, and... (okay not the phone book thing) are things of beauty. But any poker is better than no poker. For what it is worth, my crew treat the game seriously and it doesn't play much different than small stakes I've previously played. But, yes, there is that certain realness (for me) that is missing. So I'll offer additional nights for money and hope some come over to real poker. The plan, anyhow.

Side bets on who wins/lose the most

0.25/0.50 circus games we usually buy in for $100 each. $40 min, $300 max.

1-2 NLHE games we do normally do $200 buyin. Match have the big stack.

I can get a bit spicy in either game depending on who's playing that night and how much they are down

My recent home games have consisted of 1-3 dollar straddle with a min buy in of $50, it has definitely kept things interesting and always bring a lot of action to the tables. I would highly recommend if you find your home games to sometimes be a snooze fest.
