This poll is in relation to another thread I made entitled Critique this Cash Game set up. It seems there are varying opinions on what limits the Stud games should be that would fit best with the average .25/.50 hold'em game. Looking to see if there is an option that leads the way. I know not...

I am wanting to host a cash game in the near future and I want it to be a mixed game. Dealers choice but I'd like to have Flop, Stud, and Draw games in the mix. Also a mix of no limit, pot limit, and fixed limit. Also would like to have bomb pots involved. Below is what I came up with...

Backstory: Friend of mine has done almost all the hosting for years and years with dice chips. Most of the time he can get 8 or 9 players but with a lot of effort can get up to 16 to 20. He has done a good job recruiting new players so the dynamic recently is about 5 guys that have played for...

Has anyone hosted a 2-7 Single Draw NL Tourney? I think it would a really fun one to try out. Just curious if the structure would need to be different than a standard NLH tourney.

Looking to sell off this rack of 100’s. I have .43 in these. $43 + shipping for the rack. Still in the plastic packaging. Thanks!

I'm getting a cash set of Bellagio's and I could use more blue quarters. I will have a rack of 100's and am willing to trade rack for rack or maybe 3 barrels for 3 barrels. I won't be getting my chips for another month or so. They will be brand new, never used.

Have a group that has played a .25/.25 NL Holdem game for years. Looking to give fixed limit a try for a night. Here's my thoughts on setting it up. $1-$2 betting limits. Each player will buy in for $50 and get a rack of 50 cent chips. Anything over that will be $10 chips. That way one $10...

Play a hand with me. Second hand of a weekly live $40 tournament. No Rebuys. I've played in it maybe 5 times but never with the villain of this hand. There were 26 players in attendance. It's been about 2 months since I played any poker. My stack $6200 Villain stack $6500 Hand #2 of the...

I'm curious to know how much poker people play on average over the course of a year. I have kept results the past 3 years and by no means play in a regular game 2019 - 4 nights of poker 2020 - 15 nights (this was mostly Pokerrrr2 with some old friends) 2021 - 8 nights (Pokerrrr2 fizzled out...

Long time game I’ve played in has historically been .25/.25 No limit Holdem and the occasional Omaha hand. Last week to my surprise the group decided to play full orbits of dealers choice games and 7 Card Stud came up a few times. We decided to play it as pot limit and it seemed to work ok for...

I've been thinking of doing a dealers choice cash game for some time but I always struggle with the idea of games that are no limit mixing in with games that are fixed limit. Then the idea turned into doing a dealers choice tournament, as people are more typically more inclined to play in a...

Looking to run a 2 table tournament on Pokerrrr2 this weekend for a friends 37th birthday. The plan is $37 buy in with $7 of that going towards a bounty and $30 to the prize pool. The birthday boy will be a bounty and he gets to decide a player from the other table as the other bounty. If you...

Say you had a firm budget of $1,000 to spend on cards, chips, tables, and chairs. Starting from scratch. All you have is enough cash game players for up to 10 handed games on a regular basis. Once in a great while you could possibly get enough for 2 tables. Assume the game is primarily...

I’m planning to play the next Holdem tourney blind. Buy in is only $10 so I won’t be out much when I likely don’t cash. Usually around 12-16 players show up. I’ll consider it a success if I make the final table. I’ll be ecstatic if I finish in the money. The idea is to see if I happen to...

Our local Knights of Columbus puts on a few fundraiser poker tourneys through the winter months. Having 6 events this year. The chips we use are lightweight cheap plastic blanks. Have gobs of these chips. Currently a cheat sheet is created to show the denominations. I was wondering if it...

What is the most reliable formula you all have found to predict the end of a poker tournament? Assuming no chopping happens. I've read that when the BB is more than 5% of the total chips in play is typically when it ends. Also, whats a good predictor on when a tourney will get down to final...

Whats the most amount of money you have ever seen on the table in a home poker game that you have played in. Also include the game and stakes that were played. For my usual group that plays .25/.25 NLHE. The biggest night I remember was around $750 or so on the table. Pretty nitty group...

Just curious what rotation of games you all have thrown together in home games. I've only played in a few different mixed cash games. Have honestly never played HORSE. Have played alternating NLHE and PLO where it switches every half hour. Also have played a dealers choice where your choices...

A couple weeks ago I made the final table of a charity tourney that had 63 entrants and I was the chip leader at $130,000. This tourney had add ons so I'm not really sure exactly how many total chips were in play but my best guess is around $540,000. (63 players at 8k starting stacks plus some...

Playing in a NLO8 tourney in a few weeks. Looking for strategy ideas. $12,000 in starting chips and I believe blinds will start at 25/50 and steadily progress up from there. Probably will be 30 players. I think they do NL instead of PL to keep it simple, but it does change the game some...
