Sitting Out
Hello everyone,
I want to start off by thanking everyone that has posted helpful information in this forum. I am hosting my first ever home game this weekend and have been reading a lot of the cash game breakdowns on this site. I just created this account so I could talk to you friendly people.
The information on this forum has been very helpful so far, but there is something I don't understand that I am hoping can be cleared up.
I plan on playing 0.25/0.25 NLH with an 80-100 BB buy in (whatever my friends are comfortable with). I have seen many posts that suggest that in this format, the $1 chip will be the workhorse chip. I am having trouble understanding this because that is essentially a 4-bet, which I would think doesn't happen every hand. If that's the case, how is the $1 the workhorse chip? Am I missing something?
I'll also add that both me and my friends know the rules, but many of us have not played regularly (some of us at all) in the last 10 or so years.
Thanks!
