So a bunch of my idiot frat brothers wanted to get a weekly game going, and knowing how stupid and horrible at poker they are (mind you I only play 10NL and in comparison to even me theyre HORRIBLE) I gladly accepted.
I get there and ask what the stakes are and they say .25/.50. Naturally I pull out $50 to buy in and they are like "Whoa whoa $50 ? What?"
They go on to tell me that the "max buy-in" is $20 to "even the playing field" I calmly explain that 40BB is not a sufficient stack to be playing serious poker etc etc. They were all like "let it go" "drop it" blah blah, so I just left.
Correct me if I'm wrong but playing with a table full of shortstack idiot monkeys doesnt sound like good/fun poker.

Your completley right, you guys should just do like i do when i play with my mates. We put in a buyin and just play for chips after that, lot more fun/easier to sort the cash out and then you can make chip values whatever u like. Usually we just do £5 which is like $9 buyin and winner gets most, 2nd place takes his buyin back. |

i'd probably still play, i mean just for kicks and its still EV+ in addition to the fun, and as Ket said they'll still make mistakes all the time |

yeah I started playing at this game and its been pretty profitable but making reads on some people is near impossible because sometimes even THEY dont know what they have. TAG works but its boring as shit playing 1 table of slow ass poker when youre used to 12-tabling |
