Hosting NL game - Newbie questions
Some quick background info: I've done numerous tourney's ($25 buy ins) and limit cash games (1/2) but going to do NL. Expecting the same players at NL as I get at the other cash games. Typical buy in for the cash game is $40-$50.
Looking at some other threads the following seems to fit:
Blinds of .25/.25 with buyin of $10-$25.(40-100 bb's) Buy in levels appropriate? Is having SB and BB the same okay? (Really don't want to go with a chip smaller than .25 but if I should then I will)
Would .25/.50 be too big? Buy in would be $20-$50?
Looking at some other threads I've noticed people increasing the blinds during the night. I know it's not required but is it the norm? What's the reasoning?
Finally, What's the reasoning behind limiting the buy in, more specifically having a max? Is it just to protect the big stacks? Do smaller stacks (in the 40-80 bb range) encourage more play?
Any other thoughts or suggestions? Thanks for the help.
