I've been playing no limit a lot live and would like to take shots at limit. I've never played limit before and would like to learn it. What is the normal buy in at a limit game. It will be majestic star in gary indiana 3/6 i think is the lowest limit they have.

At Majestic Star the normal buy-in for the 3/6 game is a single rack of white - aka $100. You could sit with $200. If you buy in for more you'll just feel crowded.

While the players in those games aren't great, they're mostly not going to fall for the "buy-in for $500 and look intimidating" approach. These are people who play that game all the time: half won't notice and the other half won't care.

Just make sure you have enough chips to cover all the betting rounds to the cap - just in case.
