Home Game This Saturday...advice
I'm going to a home game this Saturday. We'll be playing 50NL with about 15 ppl coming. My live bankroll is limited and was wondering what's a good amount I could get away with bringing? It will be from 3pm-early morning next day, so lots of playing time. All the players are rather weak and I'd say 1-2 players are going to be tough.
Also what's a standard interest rate on money borrowed? |

What do you mean by 50NL? What are the blinds?

Re: Home Game This Saturday...advice
what are the blind levels? I'm assuming probably 1/2 which means $50 is terribly short stacked. You're going to see a lot of gambling, so either you're calling coin flips or folding for the entire night. 1st situation you should probably take 200 and if you bust out it's just not your night. 2nd situation well, you'll probably last all night on one buyin wishing for some damned aces.
I don't see anyone bothering with charging interest on anything around $200. You should be able to get someone who trusts you to loan you the money interest free. Or better yet just have them stake you if you don't have the means/desire to pay it back. |

Generally 50nl is .25/.50, 100nl is .50/1.00 and 200nl is 1/2.
I would advise bringing 4 buy ins with you, so $200. As for interest, charging interest on a friendly loan at a home game is really lame. |

And if you need to borrow money to play .25/.50 you shouldn't play. |

[/ QUOTE ] I don't get that? They're not playing 15 to one table. Sounds like 2 tables and it's a cash game and not a tourney so the players should not be moving around until late when people start leaving. |

[/ QUOTE ] Perhaps its one table, and the 15 people aren't all playing at the same time. So one guy busts out and they have more players to add to the game (meantime unless a guy leaves early as a winner more money gets added to the table) |

Oh, cripes, who cares, it was one detail from someone not comfortable in this world, so probably not giving exactly the information you deem valid. Relax, dudes. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
