JakeUp 0 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Hey,New poster to this forum. Me and my buddies want to start playing some 7 Card Stud cash games. The stakes arent going to be high at all, probably $50 max buy in. What would be a good ante/small/big bet structure?Any help would be great.Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
FCP Bob 1,312 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I would suggest a fairly large ante to encourage action.For a $50 buyin something like $.50/$1.00 with a $0.25 ante will mean you will only need to use 2 chip colors and will be pretty straight forward.If you feel that ante is too large go to a $0.15 cent ante or $0.10 at the very least.

KingJames 11 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I posted in his other thread for .1 ante, .25 bring, .5 small bet and 1.00 big bet.I am a nit and love the small ante games tho. Def agree that a .2 or .25 ante would encourage action.We've been playing a fun stud game lately; a black maria variant. Stud hi with the high spade in the hole getting 1/2 the pot. And if the queen of spades is dealt as an up card the hand is immediately ended and the pot remains, the limits are doubled and you play another hand. Let the limits double up to 3 times. So .5/1, 1/2, 2/4, 4/8. It's fun and adds gambooooolll... even tho I'm a nit it's lots of fun at a home game. Link to post Share on other sites
FCP Bob 1,312 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 At a home game I want to punish nitty play and that's why I suggest the large ante.At most home games there are going to be a couple players who want to play every hand. I would want a structure that helps them and hurts the nits. Link to post Share on other sites
