2) Players asked if straddles were allowed. They weren"t in Coventry, but I like the thought of cash game specific features like this. What do you guys think? If applied, what rules would you have around them?

Just seen this question.
I would be in favour of allowing only one straddle plus the opportunity to straddle the button (Mississippi)

1 - I understand the need for it to be accessible (don"t really disagree with you Adam) but it definitely needs to retain some depth. Even with everyone taking reloads, an open to £2, couple of calls. Rodders squeezes to £12. I can"t continue with 66 despite a 200BB stack. The game can quickly become nitty and there are limited opportunities for creativity as preserving stack is an important factor. Maybe 100BB stacks, with more reloads behind would be better? I"m really quite undecided on format, clearly.

Easy shove IMO. Rodders is full of it ;)

Probably right. Anyway, I"ve dusted off bigger stacks with worse holdings than that!
MintTrav:
Des" questions:
1) Definitely don"t limit it to £100, but why have a limit at all? I felt that some of my decisions at Coventry were compromised by not being able to reload, which is not usually the case in a cash game. There is no danger of someone buying the game if you limit each reload to £50, but don"t limit the number of reloads.
2) Not a fan of straddles. The pots will probably get too big for the stacks (and the players" wallets?). Definitely no straddles if the stacks are limited, but probably not in any case.
3) I would prefer not to show the cards.
4) No. The extra small prize for the winner is pointless. They already have most of the cash.
SirPercival:
John raises a very good point about the reloads. If they are restricted in that you can only reload if bust then that changes everything. Most players in Coventry took their optional reload before the first hand was dealt.
