MGM Grand to add .50/1NLHE with a $20min/$50max & increase 1/2 Max buy in to $300!

Effective Monday, March 1st, MGM Grand will be adding .50/1NLHE to its game roster, and will be increasing the max buy in on its 1/2 game to $300.

.50/1NLHE will have a $20 min/$50 max
1/2NLHE will keep the $40 min but the max will be raised to $300
2/5 will keep its $100 min/$1000 max

The people I spoke to did not know about the rake on the .50/1 game. I assume it will be 10%/$4 max raked in fifty cent pieces. They might make the rake $3 max on that game, and they may opt to drop the rake in whole dollars only instead of the fifty cent increments.

Also, it is unknown if raises will be allowed in fifty cent increments (i.e. raising to $3.50 preflop) or if bets must be on whole dollar amounts.
