Default Re: Hosting NL game - Newbie questions

Thanks guys.

This is more of a friendly game than one strictly about the money so one of my concerns is having too much money in play. Not sure how the regular group would handle the increase in betting and pot sizes. So the thought with dropping to .25 /.25 is to try to keep pot sizes in line (somewhat???) to the old limit structure of 1/2. Plus if somebody is forced to dig in their pocket 3-4 times at the $25 max then they're not that far off an additional rebuy at the limit game (say a $40 buy in and rebuy).

Maybe my real question is what NL level is comparable to the 1/2 limit level? I want decent money but don't want everyone playing scared. So where's that comfort level, that happy medium?

Thanks again for the advice

Limit and NL are such different concepts that you might find with such a low buyin ($25) that there are more all ins than you expected. I feel that if people are used to playing 1/2 limit then they should be OK with a NL buyin of at least $60.
