I'm planning on running 5 Friday night games from now until the end of January. I'm thinking of playing a new game for each game. Has this been done before?
When youre teaching people new games, play limit or pot limit. And stud/draw games are very rarely played no limit.All will be played NL except PLO8
ok, if I do limit, how much should I make the limits if I do .1/.1 blinds regularly?When youre teaching people new games, play limit or pot limit. And stud/draw games are very rarely played no limit.
Limit you can usually increase the blinds and itll play similar, but I stress that when teaching a new game you don't want people going broke! 10c/20c is fine, or if its playing too small, 20c/40c. That way betting is still limited but people have skin in the game.ok, if I do limit, how much should I make the limits if I do .1/.1 blinds regularly?
The general rule of thumb I have seen is 8x the blinds for FL.Limit you can usually increase the blinds and itll play similar, but I stress that when teaching a new game you don't want people going broke! 10c/20c is fine, or if its playing too small, 20c/40c.

And I gotta say, when youre just starting out and teaching people what poker nights are like and how to play the game, might be better to stick to one game for awhile. I have friends who would probably be bored of stud night and then would skip the next few.
I would consider regular Omaha instead of Omaha 8. Your other 4 games are a single pot win where Omaha 8 splits with hi/low. Could alienate people who are not used to split pot gamesSo I'm thinking the 5 games I want are
Crazy Pineapple
Stud
Omaha 8
5 Card Draw
Short Deck
