Transfered my house rules to Google Sites, who knew it was this easy? (3 Viewers)

You can check out the site I built (with a little help from ChatGPT) in just a couple hours here, and if you have any questions or critiques, fire away!
What did you use ChatGPT for? You told it what your wanted in Webcode form? Did you paste your house rules into ChatGPT and it made the drop down tabs?
 
This is great! Im going to look into this. Any tips for setting up a similar lay out as yours?

I watched a couple tutorials on YouTube (there's quite a few out there) and it was pretty simple to set up. The Collapsible Groups are a cool feature. But like I said in my OP, there's not a ton of customization you can do. It's mostly pre-made elements you can drag-n-drop.

I used ChatGPT to help make my rules more concise, prettier (fonts, colors, icons) and not as formal as they were before. I took screenshots of my PDF and uploaded them, and then ChatGPT did it's magic. :D

The drop down tabs are the Collapsible Groups in Google Sites that I mentioned. Google Sites doesn't require any html code (although you can use it if you know what you're doing, I do not), it's pretty much just drag-n-drop and point-and-click.

EDIT: Feel free to copy and paste content from my site to your own, except for the links to my Facebook group and my leaderboard. ;)

Do whatever is best for your goals for the game and the players. I know that a solid portion of my group notices any edge they can get and likes to jump to take advantage. If falling below $50 lets them jump to $150 and then be above other stacks they will intentional lose the first hand every session to play the next while with 100BB more. It’s just too big an edge.

There’s the max amount you can initially buy in and then the max for rebuy and max for top off. I think certainly the latter two should be the same (though some games aren’t). Next, I would consider why you set the initial max where it is and then why you would want someone to be able to over it.

The $150 after max initial buy in of $100 isn’t weird, what’s weird is the condition (IMO). If you want people to go above $100 because there’s a lot of big stacks, then make it portion of big stack. But going above $100 should be in that circumstance, where it’s to help balance the table.
 
Just wanted to say this was amazing. Chalked up a very similar version to yours this afternoon and sent it to my players; they loved it! Going to be so helpful as I bring new people in.

Willing to share? Maybe you had some better ideas than me. ;)
 
This is great! Thanks for sharing. Based on your site, I made a own version of it for my homegame but with the difference, that I host the site localy on my computer, so it is only available in my network. So players can scan a QR code and voila - my house rules!
Chat GPT coded the HTML with my input, some try and error and it works.

Thanks again for sharing this awesome idea

Glad it helped you out!

Is there a reason you decided to host it locally? I'm sharing it with my player group on Facebook so that everyone can read it when it's convenient for them, is there a downside to that?

I did check the box to remove it from Google search results and only people with the link can see it.
 
Well the only reason for local use is privacy. I don't want anybody from outside to find it. The fact you removed it from google search would probably suited my needs as well.
In fact, I did search your Site on Google yesterday to test the possibility of finding it, and I failed 😁
As all players are usually connected to my Wi-Fi and only need the house rules while playing, the local hosting seemed reasonable.
 
Am I the odd man out with the "players can top up to 1.5x max if below $50"? Mulling it over I'm thinking maybe it would be better to have a hard cap at $100. What do you guys think?

We have a similar rule for a different reason. We play just a $20 buy in and early in our games we had a hard cap at $20... until someone lost an all-in pot and was left with something like a dollar. Topping up for 19 and change felt ridiculous to us so we allowed them to top up with 20, bringing them slightly over the limit. Over time we realized we needed a rule about just how much over 20 we could top up for and now we can top up to 30 if our stack is below 10. This is was mostly to make buy ins easier to count, but it has the added bonus of allowing someone who's been completely felted to feel like they're back in the game a little. Everyone tops up for either exactly 20 or 30.
 
Made a ton of tweaks this last week! Some big, some small. Check 'em out here if ya want.

Surprisingly, I was able to convince my players to drop the 1.5x add-on rule. ;)

I am unveiling my rules tomorrow with some creative fanfare. I'm excited. More to come.
No wonder you have so many crazy situations. You left out

1. The only nutting on the table shall be done by the cards.

2. All literal crapping must be done in the toilet.
 
I still have one player who splashes the pot. Drives me mad.
They have all finally got the hang of BBA.......at 200/400 used to get a few who would put out one 500 chip with three 100s.
With rotating dealer I have another guy that has to be reminded to push in his chips after the betting round is complete.........like every single time.
I play in another game that players will make change from the pot before the betting round is over........ugh.
One chip call when they want to raise still an issue at least once per night.
Also string bet usually happens at least once.
Another one that drives me nuts is pre burning or once in awhile you will see someone pre burn and deal the full board face down on the flop.
Still see dealers burning cards straight into the muck. Don't do it.
Or a player thinking they can win the pot by just showing one card.
Players taking their cards off the table.
And pass your cards to the next dealer before you stack your damn chips from the pot!!!
