Default Re: First time hosting cash game

[ QUOTE ]
The tournaments I host are usually 10$ buy-in, sometimes up to 20$ depending on how many people come

...

Game: NL Hold'em
Blinds: 25cents/50cents
Antes: None
Minimum Buyin: $10
Maximum Buyin: $50
Chip Denominations: 25cents/$1/$5


[/ QUOTE ]
Perfect.

[ QUOTE ]

1)Are the Chip Denominations good for this game, or should I add some like 50cents or $2?


[/ QUOTE ]
.25/1/5 is perfect for this type of game. 200/280/20. People want to collect the $5 chips.

[ QUOTE ]

2)Should I allow cash to be used on the table...


[/ QUOTE ]
Yes. $20 only, cash plays.

[ QUOTE ]

3)Should I allow people to add money to their stack whenever they want...


[/ QUOTE ]
Stop here. Yes, in between hands.

4)How should I handle the cashouts?


[/ QUOTE ]
Anyone can leave at any time in between hands.

Good game for the stakes your players are used to, don't be surprised if most people prefer this format after a month. Don't worry about your "big" max buyin, almost everyone will buy in for $20. Encourage this, only later when a few stacks are deep will people want to buy in for $50

"Well, the max is $50 but most people buy in for $20 when it's like this."
