Blinds Question

fraserbrown · #1 08-20-2007, 08:18 PM

Im going to be playing at a new casino in the next day or two and found out that they spread a $5/$5NL game and no $2/$5NL. Is the only difference here that both the big and small blinds are $5 and thats it or are there other differences?

In LA at the Hustler and Bike the $5-$5 blind spread buy is $300 to $500. The games with a smaller SB usually have a $200 or $300 fixed buy (or smaller spread buy at the Hustler).

I know of course you can't be in LA County i.e., I don't expect a new card club around here during my lifetime [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

So the only difference is the max buy in ammount? I have heard that this game is pretty loose, is. calling $150-$250 pf with 45s. Max buyin for the 5/5 game is 500, 1/2 is 200.

well you'll have people that are just insane in any game. That's pretty extreme though.

I usually avoid looking at that spot since it's usually filled with some smart-alack youthful type expression that leaves me clueless.
