Could someone please tell me why the max buy in on stars for 5nl is 12.50 and 10nl is only 10?I thought 5nl (0.02/0.05) would be max of 5 dollers?

Actually there are different buy-in levels. It's not always 100bb, though most games are. Some are 250bb, 50bb, and 20bb. They used to have a bigger range of buy-in structures, but they trimmed them down a few months ago.

You can choose which buy-in structures you can see in the lobby by checking the appropriate boxes in the filter.

The deep stack ones are still there - they all have an ante though, so if you've got that filtered out, you won't see them.

Short and Cap games have gone from NL though they still exist for limit. I seem to remember an announcement about that but can't find it.

Edit: ah hang on - I had Fast tables unchecked. All the shorter buyin games are fast tables. Makes sense.

Yeh 2nl and 5nl are both 250bb max without an ante, 10nl+ there are 100bb and 250bb max tables, the latter with an ante.
