Depends what levels you want to play at really.

Most casinos will have a wide range of blinds available to suit your bankroll

You first need to decide if you’re playing “Limit” Texas Hold ‘em or “No-Limit”.

As Frank said, $1 – $2 is the most common, but that’s for “No-Limit”. In “Limit”, you’re more likely to find $2-$4, or $3-$6.

Bring as much as you can afford to lose. In “No Limit”, you could lose your whole bankroll in 1 hand if you get unlucky enough. (You get pocket Aces, and someone beats you with pocket Kings and a lucky flop.) I wouldn’t bring much more than 2 to 4 hundred.

Depends on which casino, some have a bigger range of stakes than others. The lowest no-limit hold’em game you can play is 1/2 which has min buy-in of 60 and max of 300. The highest might be 5/10, 10/20, or higher depending on which casino or if there’s popular demand for a high game that night (for instance, the night of a big tournament). The lowest limit hold’em game is 2/4, which i believe has min buy-in of 20 and i don’t think it has a max. The highest might be something like 40/80 but again it depends on which casino.

If you’re asking this, then you probably intend to play low stakes. If you’re gonna play 1/2NL, you can bring like 600 and buy-in for 200, then you’ll have 3 buy-ins. Or if a stack gets down to 100 you can add 100 to it so you’re not short-stacked. If you bust out 3 times you probably won’t feel like playing more. If you’re gonna play limit hold’em, 200 should be more than enough to last a while in 2/4 (otherwise you’re not folding nearly enough!).

The lowest game in a poker room for Hold’em would probably be $1/$2, 7 Card Stud 50 Cent Ante $1 Bring In and Omaha $1/$2 It all depends on the casino, but this is your basic starting point.
