DefaultWhat should blinds be set at for a cash game?

I am hosting a cash game and wanted to know what I should set the blinds at. Suggestions for games with average $50, $20, and $5 stacks would be appreciated, or just a percentage of the average stack.

I usually set my minium buy in at 20 dollars. and make blinds $1 and $2 and just leave them that way I do not put a max on the bet we play no limit. So even with small blinds there can be big action

Keep the blinds in proportion to the buy in. For a $20 buy in the blinds could be 20 and 50 cents or less, depending how serious a game you expect. If it's mainly just for fun keep the blinds low and let the players enjoy.Basically blinds are set so each player can afford to play 100 hands with their initial buy in.

Generally the MINIMUM buy in for a ring game is 20X the BB, while the MAX buy in is 100X. 30X usually makes most people comfortable. So divide your buy ins by 30 to get the BB amount. $50/30 = $1.67. So round that down to $1.50, and make the SB $0.75. If you give people chips in $0.25 denominations it will go easily enough. Here's how I would set things up, going by buy in / BB / SB$50 / 1.5 / 0.75$20 / 0.75 / 0.50$5 / 0.10 / 0.05

A typical casino cash game will feature $1 and $2 blinds, but a home game may lessen this to 25 and 50 cents in order to have more chips with less money.They all want to keep 5 ¢ chips on the table, but then bet in $1 increments later on, but never want the 5¢ chips to leave the table.

My blinds are somewhere around 2 to 5 dollars. It's the best blind bets I used for trick and that's it.
