Re: Introducing No Limit
If you're playing NL or PL, you absolutely must stick with table stakes.
Cap your buyin at $100 (or the smallest stack on the table, whichever is bigger). Also you may consider two 50c blinds instead of 50c/$1. You should strongly consider investing in more chips and eliminating cash on the table. You cannot play NL with only 50c chips and cash. Buy chips with different edge markings for the color blind guy. You should get at least quarters, dollars, and fives. Allow $20s on the table if you run out of chips. No 50c chips. $1k on the table is a below-average night at my game. We play 25c/50c and 50c/$1 NL.

Re: Introducing No Limit
Maybe we should go back to .50/$1 limit, those were the good ole days, you could play all night with a $20 buyin.
Thanks for the 'differing chips' suggestion pfapfap, never occurred to me. We could even use plastic chips for large denominations if necessary. He can differentiate some colors but I think blue/green look identical to him.

Hell, blue/green are hard on ANY poker table. Chips need to be starkly different. [/ QUOTE ] So I was hosting this big tournament (pretty BIG) and I made the 3 biggest consecutive denominations all very slight variations of orange. Do you think this was a bad idea?

"You cannot play NL with only 50c chips and cash. "
Why not? As long as you're willing to put up with the "how much do you have?" questions every 3 minutes...

Re: Introducing No Limit
I think we'd be fine if we capped at $20 or $30 with .50 chips. I can't figure out why the guys won't tolerate this, I guess they think it's chump change. For some it is but for others $20 a week is too much. But this isn't a 'player can't afford to play' thread...

Re: Introducing No Limit
How many players do you have? $30 is not nearly enough for a .50 chip game, especially not if blinds are .5/1. If most want to play at higher stakes, why not? It sounds like you're the person uncomfortable with the stakes of the game.
If there are enough players, why not make two games at different buyin and blind levels? If there aren't enough players for this, find some so that there are. That's what we do here, and it works very well. People who do well at the smaller game can take a shot at the bigger game, and people not doing well or off their game at the big table can step down.
