3 of a Kind
I host a .50/.50 home game 2-3 times a month. Usually for the most part it is all buddies with the occasional friends friend who comes to play. The group has a lot of beginner/average players. It’s a great group and is always a solid time. I was curious on what sizes other .50/.50 games use, in terms of opening up the pot, straddles, 3 bets etc. With my groups of players, some don’t even pre flop raise monsters. They are happy with limp calling. Some will open up the pot in the range of $2-$3.50. With 3 bets I find there aren’t many unless me or one other guy are making it more, usually around $8 give or take. Straddles do happen often. We allow straddles, doubles, triples, as long as they are doubling each time. Usually this comes out later in the night when we’ve all had several drinks. I want to know in your game how big or small does it get? What sizes are used or is it all over the place?
