I usually won't play holdem. I don't like the odds structure because of the way it is played. You could almost say it is socialistic. I also wouldn't play it with a fixed payoff, it has to be what is on the table. If the house need a cut so be it. I would prefer to play jacks or better, sometimes trips to win.

But realize now you probably will have to take a CC to get the people staked. And I would recommend $100 per session. At least then it can be a buck ante and it is worth while.

It's not my place to tell you what to do, but you came here looking for opinions. I think $25 is not enough. What's more I couldn't afford that right now, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. That doesn't change the fact that I would be reluctant to play holdem, like I am not really fond of stud anymore. But you could do well.

Good luck. I might participate but it is not my favorite game. What's more even if you charge a CC for the initial stake, you can't just undo that if people win. The CC company will not accept that so you must issue checks. That's a paper trail and that means taxes. That also means possibly attracting attention, as they are making it hard for operators of online gambling casinos to survive. Go figure.

I might take a crack at it though, I'll think about it.
