Just wanted to give a layout of our weekly Friday night home game and get some feedback of what everone thinks. Also wanted to hear about your home games.
Our basics are $10 buy-in gets you 2000 in chps. We have from 6 to 11 players each round, and usually play 2 rounds per night. Each round usually takes 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
We keep a point system that gives you 1 point for every $10 won. We have 2 "captain" chairs, the rest are fold outs. We place cards face down on the table, A thru however many play. Example 6 players A,2,3,4,5,6 face down.
To start, the point leader picks his card and chair, with the A being the button. Everyone else follows according to point order. This gives us a random seating order. We play with 2 decks to keep the game moving (plastic cards last forever), with the SB shuffling the cards they will deal.
With all bets, calls, and raises, chips are kept if front of players until action is finished. We then push chips to the pot. (No "splashing" the pot) Otherwise, we try to keep our rules as close to a "casino" environment as we can in order to get players used to it if they ever decide to play a tourney at a real casino. Also, we have our first round of blinds the same in order to avoid an early chip-up since most everyone calls the BB in the first round. We play with 15 minute blind rounds
Blind schedule: 50/50 Payout schedule: 6 plyrs $50/$10
50/100 7 plyrs $50/$20
100/200 8 plyrs $50/$20/$10
150/300 9 plyrs $60/$20/$10
250/500 10 plyrs $60/$20/$20
350/700 11 plyrs $60/$20/$20/$10
500/1000
1000/2000
So, that's our basic layout. Let me know what you think. Any questions and I'll answer them the best I can. Also let me know about your games.
We have one of the most organized home games I've played.
Thanks for feedback and GL all.
