Structure for a .25/.50 home game...
I figured this forum would be better than Home Poker.
We're playing a dealer's choice game next weekend. We'll have Stud, Stud-8, Razz, Chicago...all that stuff on the menu. If we want the small bet to bet .25 and the big bet .50...what should the antes and bring-in be. (.05 & .10?) Everyone expcept me will be a complete beginner...and I've only been playing for a couple of weeks. Any suggestions you have would be appreciated. |

One thing you can do is have a dealer ante. This will make it so you don't have to bother with nickle chips and stuff. you might want to have the dealer ante like .25 or .50. |

Will you have a 12.5 cent chip for the small blind in hold em? Ya, just use what ever is the small blind in HE. |

Sounds like it is all stud games?
I think .5 ante and .10 bring in is pretty good, it makes it a fairly loosely structured game but I assume you guys are playing for fun and not to just steal each other's antes. |

We'll also have Texas Hold'em (limit and no-limit), Omaha, Pineapple, Guts, Anaconda, Draw, all that stuff.

[/ QUOTE ] In my newbieness I'm not entirely sure what the "not to just steal each other's antes" means. Is a low ante more prone to being stolen (because 'why bother paying a quarter to protect a nickel?')? I play the .50/1.00 on Party with .25 ante and .25 bring-in, and that seems to be more of a crapshoot than a skill game. |

.50/1.00 at PokersStars is .05 ante. You should find this less of a crapshoot.
