I hope to make it up there soon. Thanks!
I can’t comment on the 2-2, but the 5-5 is capped at $2,500 buyin and usually runs a $25 straddle either on the button or UTG depending on what the players agree on.
The “5-5 NL/PLO mix” is actually 5-10 NLHE (usually with a $20 straddle so really 5-10-20) and the PLO is usually 5-5-25 as described above.
Buyins for both 5-10 NLHE, 5-5 PLO and the mix are all usually the max $2500, at least by all the regs. If you come into the game late in the day/night when stacks are deep and you can only buyin with $2,500 you better be okay getting it in because that’s how it’s going to go.
The mix is a great game though.
