I used to play in a lot of home games. My favorites were the $5-$50 freezeouts with standard starting stacks- which let you get in a few games in a night. Usually the final 2 would make a deal unless it was the last game of the night.
The other format I would see a lot was a $20 buyin for deepstacks with a rebuy and addon. With this format you only usually get in 1 game per night.
