Default im getting together my first MSNL home game.....

im having some buddies over who fancy themselves pretty good at poker for a rea micro-stakes NL cash session (5NL).

does anyone have any suggestions on how to make things run smoothly, and to make the situation as light as possible? sometimes i think i take it a little to seriously for these guys (i dont do much live play and they notice me paying attention).... suggestions welcome...

i'd recommend $5PL... maybe $0.02/$0.05 Blinds. $5NL will get out of control quickly. PL will be pretty sick, too... but it's way too easy to light $5 on fire.

Get chips, and lots of 'em. Post rules.

I play for $10 buy in and use 5cent 10 cent blinds and the most anyone loses in about a 5 hour session is $20

I just let people know right before we play that "if you don't get crazy $10 lasts all night. And the game is actually real good. Not too much craziness.

i've found that if you play for $5, it helps if you pretend you're playing for $10 or $20 and give 2x or 4x chip value, then scale everything back down for cashouts. then when you start announcing "raise to $4" its a little more significant than a bag of candy.
