    I play in a fairly regular home game and am looking for an accepted standard
    in payout/blinds/rebuys etc.....

    At the moment, no matter how many are in the game 5-10, there are only 2 buy backs...usually
    taken by the 1st 2 people knocked out, which is really unfair for those on the shortstack who stayed with it but now find themselves outchipped by someone who just bought in.

    Blinds....usually go up every rotation 100/200 to start, 5000 chips is what everyones got.

    Payout...My bane....no matter how many people play, no matter how many people buy back in (on the odd occasion more than 2 buy backs) winner takes all and the 2nd just gets their original stake back....

    Personally, i think this is brutal but trying to get that across is a pain cause all I get is "thats poker" like thats the answer :rolleyes:
    Ths is a crowd who still argue over "burning" cards.....

    I was hoping there was some kind of home game guide posted somewhere just to get people to consider how to play properly....

    Easy money though ;)

    When I play home games we always played freeze out and played all the usual rules. First out always pissed off waiting for a game but it meant a better game and there was usually a couple of laptops there to get an online game going if your waiting.

    Last time I played was in a mates house started at 7pm finished 7 am great games and came home with a nice profit. We played about 6 freeze outs with 7-9 players depending on the time.

    Right, Homepokertourny is kinda all over the place, I am having the same trouble.

    I would like to know, in a home tourny, what amount of chips to start with (300 case, 100 white, 50 each other colour), what to set the blinds at, when to increase the blinds, and what to set the payout at?

    I know I am asking to be held by hand, but we all had to learn sometime!!

    Slim,
    Our home games (7-9 players) we play as Freezeouts.
    70 in chips each (10 white, 12 others, whites are worth 1, others worth 5).
    Blinds 1/2, 2/4, 3/6 4/8, 5/10, 7/15, 10/20, 15/30, 25/50.
    20 minute blind clock first 3 level, then 15 minutes.
    Freezeout is a pain for the first people out, but as a consolation :p the first 2 people out get to deal !. (having 2 dealers keeps it flowing so we get through a lot of hands)
    Blind levels reduce to 10 minutes when 3 people left.
    Games usually last about 130 mins.
    Payout is usually money back for 3rd, twice that for 2nd, the rest for me.
    HTH,
    AJ.

    P.S. Also we do a 'seat draw' before every game, so that people cant spend all night sat to the right of the guy who never raises his Big Blind.
