There are several threads regarding people's preferred blinds and stakes. However some can only play certain ones because of their players or financial situation. Thought creating a poll would be a great way to see the general consensus on this topic.
What do you believe to be the best blind stakes for a home game overall? Not what you personally want but all based around:
-Personal experience or general thoughts.
-On your players thoughts, comfort level, &/or preference.
-Good middle ground between fun and serious play.
-Kepping players interested in coming back.
For me, $0.25/$0.25 seems great for people either recreational or serious. When having multi-table, it's good for making decent profit, but not losing too much, even when rebuying, to make a difference in the person's life. Moved my friends up I host with to this from $0.05/$0.10 and $0.10/$0.20, and while most of them don't rebuy often ($10-$30 max buy in) they really enjoyed these blinds, especially only using three denominations and good sized pots to make the game more intense but fun at the same time. They've gotten to be better players from this as well.
My goal is to have a $0.25/$0.50 ($20-$60 max buy in) game, but doubt that'll happen with my friends any time soon unless it's once in a good while for a special occasion.
Feel free to leave your thoughts, along with the max buy in ranges for your choice.
