Default Re: How to implement a cap?

[ QUOTE ]

I was thinking of using a cap, but how would you implement it in practice?
Do players separate out the cap amount before each hand? Or does someone keep a running total of how much chips the active players have put in during the hand?

For your typical home game crowd you would have to get everyone to agree not to splash the pot and to keep their bets in front of them. It may take a while for people to get used to it but after 1 or 2 nights everyone should adjust (except there is usually one player who for some reason never understands new concepts).

Another option for some people is to have them seperate their stacks into the capped stack and the rest and only bet from their capped stack. After each hand they adjust their stacks accordingly.
