Hey all,
I host a regular college small stakes home game, which is decent when it gets a few maniacs every once in a while, but is dry most of the time. Being broke college students, who have only been taught things in this world from reading, most players have read a few books and play on the tighter side. This doesn't make them phenomenal players, they can be outplayed postflop, but this does result in pots contested heads up, or 3 way most of the time. I would like to encourage action, i.e. 6 people seeing a flop, or 3-4 in a raised pot etc. Currently it's .5/1 w/100 buyin. I'm wrestingly with a few different ideas, let me know what you think will work best.
.5/1 with a kill
.25/.25/.5 just 3 blinds
or game structures I've only read about on 2+2 from cali games, i.e.
.5/.5, $1 to open
.25/.25/.5, $1 to open, pot can be killed from anywhere.
Let me know what you all think, thanks.
