How do you structure you Home Cash Games?

[Snarf]

My group doesn't play a lot of cash games...

but when we do - we'll usually do either a $5 or a $10 buy-in.

For that you'll get chips that are some multiple of your buy-in and do a blind structure accordingly...we don't have a set way.

Like we'll do 50 100 blinds (.05 .10 blinds) and give you a starting stcak of 5000 or 10,000 depending on the buy-in.

Our rebuys rules vary...
and annouced leave times are requested - though we're pretty loose and easy going.

You guys?

we do a 5-10$ buy .5/.10 blinds but we just use chip values as follows:

white : .05
blue : .10
red : .50

you can reload at anytime and leave whenever although we berate people that leave after 30 minutes.

For $5-$10, $.5/.10 blinds are perfect. I then give each player a set amount of chips that equals to their buy in. Rebuys are unlimited since it's a cash game. However, our game usually has a catch. We have a cash out time. Meaning, that we'll start at let's say 7pm and cash out will be at 11pm. This keeps everyone at the game and wanting to play. If you let people cash out whenever they please, you may not have a game that much anymore. Also when we cash out, the person with the most chips rounds up, and everyone else rounds down. We do this because we don't want to have to deal with change. So if the chip leader for example has $25.01 and someone else has $6.99, the chip leader gets $26, while the other person gets $6. This system works out very well.

We play $10 buy-ins, NL, .10-.20 blinds. Makes for a good action game. Chip values are .10, .20, .50, $1.00. You can reload or rebuy any amount up to $10 at any time, and cashouts are allowed at any time (usually). At the end of the night, one last hand is played face up for change (only players with change left are dealt in).

Dividing by 1000 when cashing out, eh?

Ugh, you round the winner up for MORE cash? I'd prefer rounding the biggest stack down, myself.

Why?

[frsdchts]

For NLHE games we have a $10 buy in with .25/.50 blinds. We basically treat it as a sort of sattelite into a $25 buy in cash game since there is so much rebuying.

Limit mixed games are $10 buy in at .25/.50 limits, dealer's choice. Lots of game variety.
