Maybe I'm dumb

I've seen people from AZ post about playing a 5-150 game. How does that work? Are the last 2 streets $150 bets? How do you play that correctly?

Some states have legislated a bet cap, which means you can't play no limit. So they have large spread limit games, which are notated this way. All bets throughout the hand may be anywhere between $5 and $150.

I knew about the legislation, but was unsure how the structure worked. So a player could make a $100 bet in a 5-150 game?

Yes. A player could also make a $5 bet. Or a $150 bet. But IIRC they can't raise a $150 bet.

So what kind of stack size would you need to sit down at such a game? Would you treat it more like a 2/5 game or something much higher? Are blinds 2/5?

So say someone bets $130, can you raise to $150?
