General Discussion / Re: Maximum no. for a poker table?

« on: January 02, 2007, 08:57:54 PM »

During both Home games and charity events on our area, we tend to keep the table to Dealer plus 7 players.  This is mostly because until October of last year, the Michigan Charitable Gaming Division only allowed 7 players.  We got used to this set-up and continue to run our home games the same.

General Discussion / Re: Rebuy's

« on: January 02, 2007, 08:53:58 PM »

We have a group of 10 - 20 players that get together a couple of times a month.  Each night we usually play two to four games lasting between 1.5 and 2 hours.  We have only allowed rebuys one time in the last two years and only one player used the option. 

The original buy-in was $10 for $1000 in chips.  After going all-in within 5 minutes of the tournament starting the player busted out.  Since we hadn't offered rebuys in the past, we took a quick poll of the players and allowed him to rebuy for $15 for another $1000 in chips.  These lasted him another 15 minutes and he was busted again.  Of course he wanted back in, this time we agreed to charge $20, these lasted one hand and he was out again.  That was it. No more rebuys!!!  The winner of that event thanked him for the addition $40 in the pot.
