Nope. Never. The people I usually play with have improved their game over the years, so at this point we usually just shove money back and forth from week to week.
We did get a local home game going on P* a few years back. Had some decent turnouts sporadically. Then at one point, some of the folks from neighbouring towns started whining that the Kincardine people kept winning? It was weird. Numbers started dropping and I just didn't bother setting them up anymore.
On the weekend at a buddy's place I kind of crushed the table. It was very low limits. Buy in for $10 gets you 40 chips, blinds 1/2 so basically .25 / .50 with 20 big blind stacks. After a quick triple up, I went on to cash out up over $150 in a game I expected to be down or maybe up $10 or something. It was just suppose to be a fun night of drinking and loose card play.
I think you basically got what you were looking for with 20bb stacks. Loose card play. Not a bad thing unless that's not what you really wanted. Might either want to increase the buyin or decrease the blinds. Give people some room to maneuver.
I agree. But it wasn't my game and they have been playing that way for awhile. I'm usually at my league game and can't attend, but there was no conflict this weekend.I don't think room for maneuvering would help most of them, bet sizing was not a concept most of them knew.
A guy min raises from early position, I call in late position wtih 5s6s. flop comes 4s7hJs. Raiser bets 4 chips into a 5 way 20 chip pot, all fold, I call. turn brings nothing. He bets 4 again. call. river Qs. He bets 4 again.
