House games I usually play in usually have $10-$20 buy ins for a tourney or just a no limit cash game with $0.50 & $1.00 chips with $0.25 & $0.50 blinds.
Cash games are usually better for those looking to get the most out of their $10.00-$20.00 since tourneys can wrap up quite quickly & force you to play hands you otherwise wouldn't had the blinds not gotten so high. UFC/Poker nights usually kick ass so I was wondering why it hasn't been done here yet...
