Default Re: First time hosting cash game

[ QUOTE ]
I originally thought that .10/.20 or .10/.25 blinds would be a good idea too. My problem would be if someone wants to cash out with like $21.35 or something and it would be harder to keep track with all the change. That's why I wanted to keep 25cents as the minimum denomination, but I also realize that is a lot for our low stakes.

Should I do 10cent/25cent/$1 denominations for the chips, with a maximum buy-in of $40?

Oh god no...

Just play .25/.50 like you were planning, with my above suggestions it'll be fine. Everyone will have a donktastic time until they settle down and by then the'll be used to the stakes. Some will want .50/1.

edit: One thing I'll do to encourage the game to start is to have .25/.25 *until* we are 6 handed. The early crowd seems to appreciate this... it's like it doesn't really "start" until there are 6 seated and playing.
