1000BB Strategy

Accept that the game is going to play much bigger. If the min buy in is $5000, I'm sure there will be a couple of guys who buy in for $10000. So don't expect a raise to $20 to get anybody of a marginal hand preflop. I wouldn't be surprised if by the end of the night pre flop raises are up to 100.

If you compare it to an online game the max buy in on a 25/50 game is $5000, while this is the minimum for a 5/5 game, so don't be surprised if this game plays more like a 25/50 and possibly a 50/100 as the game progresses and more money is on the table.

I'm not sure how you should adjust your game, because I have never played in a game where the buy ins relative to the blinds were so huge. But as far as the bets go preflop and as a result thereafter will be much larger than your normal 5/5 or 5/10 game.

its so hard to imagine buying into a home game for 10K. Do you have another 30K in your back pocket incase you get busted?

Sorry if it is an offtopic, but I found it interesting.

Negreanu is going to play with other 'big boys' - Harman, Bronson & Co. The game is 300/600 NLHE, min buy-in is $100,000, but the guys might bring $1M each (taken from Danny's blog, at very end of the message), so it is going to be a 3000+ BB game.

What would be the strategy here?

I don't know about $5 - $10k buy-in games, but there's a home game in the Richmond area that's a $2k min buy-in. Lotta money in that room and on that table...way more than $20k by the end of the night.
