Okay based on the responses, and especially considering Thorin's situation (sorry to hear, man
)
let's make it next Thursday, 6pm arrival "goal" with 6:30 likely start time, and since it's a cash game (not a tourney) there's no problem if you can't make it until a little later than that. Probably will go until 10 or 10:30 at the latest.
Also, yes Thorin, the "buyin" is basically all you'll need to bring to the "table" in order to have a sufficient enough stack to not bust out within 10 minutes. Not including a "high hand of the night" contribution if you are interested in that. And you can always rebuy more afterwards if your stack shrinks...
After we play a few sessions at
$0.05/$0.10 stakes (actually, double that, see below), perhaps we'll have a better idea if that's enough to keep it interesting and FUN without unnecessarily excluding those with thinner wallets (or maybe we will boost it to
$0.10/0.20 stakes)...
(check most recent post for updated stakes info: due to SB being half of BB, minimum stakes will be $0.10/$0.20 i.e. SB=nickel and BB=dime, BigBet in later rounds is 2xBB, i.e. $0.20)But for now, bringing $5.00-$10.00 should be plenty sufficient to partake without any disadvantage (since it is Limit after all).
