About LinkBacksAlright, im not new to texas holdem, I started out playing with my older brother and some of his friends and now me and my friends play on the weekends...but i have always played tournament style
I wanting me and my friends to start playing a few cash games but i do not know how some of it works. I know you can buyout whenever and rebuy in whenever but does everyone buyin for the amount of chips they want or is everyone suppose to buy in for the same amout and go from there? Also which works better blinds or antes or blinds and antes? Also should you put a time limit or how long someone has to play because it seems like (or at least my friends) once they can get more than they started off with they would buyout
I would really appericate if someone just give me a randown on the basics and some good rules to put in play when doing a cash game.
thanks

1) Cash games: Blinds. no antes
2) There is a minimum & maximum buyin. Max buyin should be 100 big blinds & min buy in 40bb. So if you are playing $0.50/$1.00 the max should be $100 & min buyin $40
3) People can buy more at any time, but never more that the max buy in.
4) No min time limit, but if people quit and then want back in later, they have to buyin for what they had when they left. So if the max buyin was $100 and someone quit when they had $120, if they want to play again later they have to buyin with the $120 they left with"People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are.

Just my suggestion, not a rule written in stone. Originally Posted by MJPerry

Cash games are a lot more flexible than touraments and I would say take much more skill to master.
the main reason is that the blinds never increase which means that if you're 100bb deep with another player then you will start seeing a lot more post flop play and that is the skill you want to work on.
Most of my profit in cash games is made on the turn and river as opposed to tournaments where top pair on the flop can often be when all the chips go in.
Good Luck
