Re: Rules of Thumb for Cash Games?

One rule of thumb I've heard is 100xBB for NL games. But I agree with jojo, just set a cap. When we used to play some .25/.50 NL, we played a $20 max buy-in. Pretty low, but after a few hours, you'll still have some big stacks built to some crazy numbers. Depends on what your group is comfortable with. Just by the nature of NL though, it can get kind of hard to control after a few hours of play and a few buy-ins. If you don't want the wild swings, stick to a limit ring game.
