I read your report and I did realize that the "semi-long" thing looked ridiculous when compared to yours.

That just proves that you've attached "ridiculous" to the wrong person :P I'm pretty sure the War & Peace idiot is the ridiculous one.

The first hand starts and someone raises to 0.75. I mention that the raise has to be at least double the big blind. The host tells me: "it's just a friendly game".

We get to the turn card and someone bets 0.25. I mention that in cash games, it is normally the convention that the min. bets on the turn and river should be twice the min. bets pre-flop and flop. In a 0.25-0.50, the min bet on the turn and river should be at least $1. I am told again how this is a friendly game.

You sound like the table coach from hell.

So once again I have to put up with all this because it is not my house nor my game.

You answered your own question.

OK. So I don't make an ass out of myself in a cash game if I ever happen to be in one or post about it again, let me see if I got it right.

Limit:
sb-bb. Min. bet pre-flop and flop = bb
Min. bet turn and river = 2xbb

No limit
sb-bb. Min. bet at every stage = bb

Is this the correct structure for cash games???

Thanks for the responses.

Just to clear this up, this is ALSO the correct structure for tournament play, if you are doing it differently, you are wrong there as well.
