Help me explain No-Limit Hold-Em to newbies

[prairieboy]

Starting 4/17 I’ll be hosting a home game. Most of my players have seen the game on TV and some have played a bit of holdem at home, but they’re not casino regulars and are generally pretty clueless on the mechanics of the game.

The game is: No-Limit holdem with a maximum buy in of $25 and a single $.50 blind.

I’m writing up the game rules to send to my players, but am having difficulty explaining blinds and rebuys to newbies in a format that is short (so they’ll actually read it) and simple (so they’ll actually understand it).

How would you explain it?
