"Low Stakes Poker"

[Lord_Strife]

As a poker dealer you tend to mix yourself up with a lot of people that love poker as much as you. We're currently trying to setup our home game that is extremely friendly but also competitive enough for people not to get bored with the stakes. Obviously some of us find $10 and $20 sngs boring (irl anyways), so our solution? "Low Stakes Poker".

I'm having pokerchips.com make me a custom set of poker chips similar to the ones from the South Point hotel and casino and the ones that are used in High Stakes Poker season 3. We want to make our game a 1/1000th replica of the game and play with stacks that are equally deep.

So basically the game will play as a .30/.60 game with a .10 ante. Now that sounds pretty small and for someone that's used to playing 1/2nl and 2/5nl it is pretty small. But honestly it's all about the stack sizes... if each player has between 100-300 behind (or 1k if you want to be brad booth) so the game will play pretty deep.

However, my problem is, we want to incorporate mixed games into the fun. We all deal stud, stud8, omaha, omaha8... might as well get them in. I think .30/.60/.10 pot limit omaha is just dandy so we'll keep that. For the limit games though, we wnat to play something with like a $100-$300 stack so that's approximately somewhere between $2/$4 and $5/$10 and I think a solid compromise is $3/6 limit omaha8 and limit hold'em. With the stud/stud8 I am kinda thinking about playing spread limit because that's what we offer in our room... $2-$5 spread limit stud games...

How interesting do you think this mix could be? I'm looking for ideas as to how to keep up the rotation because I'm not sure on the best method for it. When do we change games? Blah...

Thoughts? Ideas? Comments?

FWIW, we're definitely going to have bricks of $1 bills on teh table.
