Default Re: Easy way to play PL O/8 at home?

Most of the time we play either no limit or Pot limit HE. We used to use cash and for some reason that was a hassle. About a year ago we switched to chips and things are much easier.

Does it take a little longer to play pot limit? Yeah probably. But I actually feel I use it to my advantage. I've noticed that if I restrain myself and don't take charge of the pot (splitting it into side pots and such) that the people more focused on the money are people that have a good hand and I need to watch out for.

Just a little "tell" I'm sure, but if I'm going to showdown at a loose home game, I want to have all the info I can get.

Those extra 30 seconds are focused on who is watching the pot and who is looking at the baseball game on the TV.
