Dealers choice game

Good Day,
I want to play a home game, with 7 players. I have 25 cent. 50 cent, $1 & $5 chips to use. We will probably have a $1 limit for bets. My question is, Who antes? all players, the dealer? How much should the antes be? I just need a little help in starting this game.
Thanks so much
Lorenzo

how much is the buy in? What are some of the 'dealers choice' games you play? Without knowing that info, and you saying that you want $1 bets, i would say the ante should be .25.

Dealers choice

This is not a no limit game. They can buy in any amount they want, $30 or $40, what ever they can afford to play with.

I play draw with friends at the $1/$2 level and $0.25 for an ante from everyone is alright. It actually should be $0.15 (10% of the average of future bets) but a quarter is ok.

If you're going to play dealer's choice at a $1 bet I would say make the ante 0.10 each. Have the dealer post the ante for everyone... 5 people makes a .50 ante. 10 people (can only play flop games so you could just do blinds) would be a $1 ante.

So basically you can make a $0.25-$1 spread limit game with a single, dealer supplied ante using your $0.50 chips.

Dealers choice night can be a bit confusing. In 5 card draw and 7 card stud ante's are pretty mandatory, along with the bring in bet in 7 stud. I've never really used an ante system when it comes to hold 'em or Omaha, just posting blinds. If you've got one dealer that prefers stud, and another that prefers hold 'em, I can see some players paying more per round thatn others, just because of there placement at the table. That can be a bit discuraging at times and you might get a few upset players.

Home game

I guees maybe I need to structure a limit hold em game, with a $1 limit. What would the blinds be .25 & .50 or .50 & $1? How would I structure this? I'm new and the players are not experienced either, but we would like to start playing, but not have someone be eliminated for the whole night by having a no limit game.
I think we would only buy in with like $30 - $50 worth of chips, not everyone would be able to ppurchase the same amount.
I hope someone can help me do this.
Thanks,

Here is a suggestion, If the dealer would like to play a stud/draw game he should post/ante the most amount of money to play the hand. We play dealers choice where the dealer post $5 and everyone has to at least call $5 to stay in the hand - in our Stud/draw games he would posts $10 and everyone antes $5. You could adjust this for you game. Say Dealer post $2 and everyone antes $0.25 or $0.50 to get a hand. We generally play most games with H/L split.

You are the house man so you can run the game how you would like. If you are going to play limit holdem you could play .50-1.00 blinds. Everyone has to call $1 to stay in the hand with a max of three raises. the stucture would be like this 1/1/2/2 with a three raise max.

Lorenzo,

A limit game with a $1 maximum bet would be a .50-1.00 limit game. Blinds for this limit would be .25 & .50, the betting limit preflop and on the flop is .50 and the limit on the turn and river is 1.00.

First you figure out who's to deal and have them shuffle and then offer to the person on their right if they want to cut the deck. The first person to his left is the small blind(.25) and the second to the left is the big blind(.50) - these blinds are forced bets or "antes" to get the action started. After everyone has two cards the person to the immediate left of the big blind is first or "under the gun" and has to fold, call .50, or raise .50(which makes it a dollar total). Everyone after him does the same but can only raise by .50 over the highest bettor. I suggest a 4 raise maximum.

Next is burn one card and flop 3 cards. The first person to act is now the the first person to the left of the dealer(first person who's still has cards, not the person to the left of the big blind like in round 1). His/her options are to bet .50 or check. The action continues around the table clockwise with a .50 raise maximum. Next is the turn card(4th card) - burn one and turn it. Action again is to the first person to the left of the dealer, but now the limit is 1.00. All bets and raises on this round are in incerments of $1.00. The river(5th card) has the same $1.00 betting/raising limit.

After all the action is done on the river next is the showdown. Generally the person who was the last to bet or raise shows their cards first. Then all the other "callers" can turn theirs over to see who has the best hand. Once a hand is turned over "cards read". ie. If someone turns their hand over and says "two-pair" but it's really a full house... that's what they have. Both cards have to be shown on the table face-up and the best five card poker hand(made from their two cards and the 5 on the board) wins the pot. The person who was the small blind now becomes the next dealer and deals another hand!

All that said, we don't play a fixed limt, we play a spread limit. In your case how that would work is the blinds would be .25 and .50 but everyone could bet or raise anywhere between .25 and $1 on any round(except preflop where the action is already to .50)

Two more things: 1. I feel that allowing the checkraise is a mandatory part of poker - I don't care if your mother is sitting at the table. 2. I hope this helps, feel free to ask any more questions.

Now, shuffle-up and deal!!!
