Cash Game Equivalent Limit Levels (1 Viewer)

[Mr Winberg]

When switching from nl to limit cash games (holdem), how much do you raise the blinds for the same crowd?

Example: If your crowd plays 1/2 nl, which blinds do you have for limit? 2/4? 3/6? 5/10?

(To avoid confusing me, please make it clear if you mean small blind / big blind or small bet / big bet. I am easily confused)

Limit blinds of 4-5x bigger than NL blinds are comparable as long as NL is 100bb without straddles etc.

Therefore 1/2 NL is like 4/8, 2/5 NL is similar to 10/20, 5/10 is like 20/40. Again that's only for 100bb for NL. If you start bumping those caps or adding straddles often (common at 2/5 and 5/10) then a 2/5NL could be closer to 20/40 and a 5/10NL be closer to 50/100.

Cheers, @Payback!

Is that </thread>, or does anyone disagree?

That's ballpark correct in my experience. Generally gonna buy into a limit game for about 20-25big bets. As far as playing a big bet mix game, combining $1/2NL/PLO with $5/10 limit would be easiest as far as using the same chip denoms.
