what opening bet makes the limpers fold in your home games? usually in my home game, it is $3+, more towards the end of the night. .25/.25 and .25/.50 play the same.
Depends on who is doing the raising.what opening bet makes the limpers fold in your home games?
You're getting twice the odds of everyone else at the table. Spend your quarter.You could have a limped family pot, but if I’m in the small blind with 2-7, I’m still folding, to save that quarter.

If that's the case, than pre-flop raisers are paying off too often when the villains hit.Most of the local games I play in, which are typically at those stakes, play much like $1/$2. A "standard" raise in 25c/50c won't push anyone out who is holding a hand with any sort of implied value. Pre-flop raise to $5ish starts to work most of the time.
opening bet sizing - have to size up if you want to limit the field. I find 3x is generally too small in a live setting.
to loosen up the game - introduce alcohol and straddles
Love the straddles, depending on how we sit, sometimes our Group will have 3 in a row straddle.
Our Group is also loving Bomb Pots, timer goes off on the hour.
