Sitting Out
Hello, new forum member coming back to poker. Really appreciate all the knowledge on here.
I used to play NLH tournaments many years ago haven't played much other than a very occasional online tournament. A few friends with little to no experience expressed interest in playing and it got me down the poker chip rabbit hole and trying to figure out how many chips I might need along with the best way to make it fun for a small group.
It would be 4 players to start with but maybe I'd occasionally be able to rope another couple of people in. Most have either never played or just dabbled a few times years ago but we already play cards together a lot. I'm mostly wanting this for a social thing so thinking NLH tournament style with a low buy-in, no rebuys to keep it simple. Does anyone have recommendations for starting stacks/chip structures for shorthanded games and any tips in general for playing shorthanded and/or with new players? Also how many chips would I need to buy to support 4 - 6 players in a game?
