    ideal structure for mixed cash games

    Ive searched and searched online and cant seem to find anything that indicates a proper blinds, ante, bring in structure for mixed games such as Horse or more complex such as dealers choice with multiple games being offered (having to consider the mix of blind games like Omaha and Holdem with the different structure of say Razz and Stud which require Big Bets, Antes and Bring In). this is a legit serious question so if anybody can point me in the right direction or has their own take Id appreciate it. Id legit ask Chainsaw the king of structures but hes into tournament ideas and not so much cash.

    as a game runner you want max commitment from players before any cards are dealt. as much as they can stand without crying about it.

    I’ve played a lot of hs mix live and online and ime

    The limits will be listed like a limit game. If there are big bet games in the mix, they’re usually capped so as not to make them play much larger than the limit games proportionally. Almost always the cap (maximum each player can lose per hand) = 10 big bets or 40 big blinds. Blinds in big bet games are usually half the size of the limit games. Some exceptions to that structure would be for big bet games with only 2 rounds of betting, such as 2-7 single draw NL or 5 cd draw hi (very rarely spread), where the blinds might be bigger than half the size of the limit games, but the cap might still be 10 big bets.

    Besides that, the only other variable would be the ante structure in the stud games. Sometimes the structure in the stud games might have a straightforward 1/2/4/8 structure, where the antes = 1x, the bring in 2x, the complete 4x, and the first raise (or two bet) to 8x. That structure promotes action and light defends/steals/resteals. You may sometimes see a flatter ante structure, something like 1/1.5/5/10, where the bring in is much closer in size to the ante.

    Any deviations from those default structures would likely occur because of a particular reason. Most mix games regardless of stakes can be reduced to a 4/8x or 3/6x structure of some sort
