Is this standard pot limit practice?
I played both the dealer's choice and PLO games at Binion's over the weekend. The game is $1/2 PLO, but with a $5 minimum bring in where the small/big blinds are counted as $5 . Is this standard for live cash? It's easier, but we might as well just play 5/5 PLO at that point. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Re: Is this standard pot limit practice?
Are you saying that your minimum raise is $7 and you're thinking of the blinds as $5? Because if so that's wrong beucase in pot limit you can't your call before determining how much you can raise. If you're saying you cannot limp for $2 but can only limp for $5 then taht's weird, but I guess I see it because their dealer's are awful

The only thing "weird" is that PL and NL games are now played with such tiny blinds. Back in the day, they'd call such a game, "$10-20, $50 to go", and scoff at the notion of a PL game played with $1 chips. EDIT: To answer the title question of this thread, I would respond, "No, it isn't standard nowadays--but it used to be." |

Re: Is this standard pot limit practice?
To clarify my OP, the original call UTG was $5. If I wanted to pot it, it was $5($1 actual) + $5($2 actual) = $10 + the pot call ($10) + $20 for a UTG+1 pot of $32 which made the game huge. You were normally facing $100 turn bets just because anything else was stupid. After playing PLO poorly on the Internet, I thought I could go in a live game. I clearly misunderstood the stakes!

This is how we played in Tunica last time I was there.
FWIW, it is easier to get someone to play $1-$2 with a $5 bring in than it is to play $2-$5 even though they are the same game after the raising has started. |

If that dealer's choice game was filled with as many childish and argumentative nits when you played as it was when I was at Binions, you have my sympathies!
