The Perfect Home Poker Game - Players, Stakes, Starting Chip Counts & More

[Zorba]

Good idea to use your own smartphone as tournament director to put the countdown for the player to act and other functionality such as the customization of the blinds and the configuration of the tournament structure.

A good game/blinds clock visible to all is a must, it stops arguments and keeps the game moving along evenly if there is more than 1 table.

I´m not a veteran,I´m just a beginer and my tips are patience and be good at math and calculus.
I don´t think this fórum missed anything. Cardschat is completed!

Very cool this guide, I have a bar with a poker table for my clients who appreciate the game, I will implement some tips for sure. I like CardsChat and I feel very happy to be here, I am always learning and evolving.

I've read an article about home games, and basically it's a guide, and I have nothing to add.But I liked the idea of home games on the pokerstars platform, but it is a pity that home games are not available from your smartphone.

 

[bruno13xs]

Very interesting because it is a home game, even with raked poker friends as well as fun can earn good money and improved their poker skills

 

[bruno13xs]

Certainly it would be very funny to play with friends and to be able to make fun of your friend that you won him in a blaff would be ilario

 

[cheeeer]

Even though Meet-Up site looked useful I don't have chips and cards. And I can't decide what stacks and blind strusture should be anyway.

I will need to print all those awesome home game articles.
It is legal everywhere to host real cash home poker game?
I am not sure that my provincial government like that.

Home poker games can be a lot of fun, but there is a bit of preparation and planning that goes into making the perfect evening.
Home poker game materials needn't be expensive. As long as you have a good table top for dealing cards on and plenty of chips you're good to go.
Home games are more experiments in social inclusion than gambling.
You have to mix the right blend of players to ensure everyone is happy and will return the next time.

Great post, been reviewing this lately.

 

[No1eJoker]

Really well explained and in detail ,for someone who wants to try to organize home poker game.. In my place poker is not so popular, so that I would not have too much success in organizing the Home game,unfortunately

 

[Paya_31]

For me a very comprehensive post, from which a group of friends should have from the start in a poker game at home until the different modalities that can be played. As some of the tools that can be used to speed up the game. For network play, with the group of friends we play on PokerStars Home Games, when we can not get together to play live. regards

Stattya is very interesting and useful. It is a great pity that my friends and acquaintances do not play poker. When I find a group of people to play poker, it wakes up very useful.

 

[Sakisdask]

Very interesting!!
it's a lot of fun playing with friends at home, not having to have a big time to have the motivation to play seriously!
I think it's a very good start and for those who want to learn poker to pick up crows and play at home!

Really nice article that goes real in dept into setting up a home game. It covers all the areas except for providing refreshments. Remember no home game is complete without snacks and a little alcohol.
The hardest part for me is finding people to play. No one has time anymore for poker they all out doing boring adult stuff like working and making and taking care of kids.

 

[Joey1998]

Side tables for drinks and food. Off of the playing table. A real table would be nice, lol. Inside, also, not a fan of outside distractions.

 

[bablovod]

with each new article, the guide about home games more and more there is a desire to start playing live, even use instead of coins or match chips. but none of my friend do not play even in online poker. How boring.

 

[guicor30]

game according to the moment, and this article will be the best host in my city and why not win a few $$$ without intervening in the game.
Thanks CC for nourishing us every time with good articles.

I really like the point of evaluating the guests regarding the number of chips per player very good.

 

[AvovchikA]

Also used a smartphone in order to keep track of the blinds. Our home games are more primitive, but they do not become less gay.

 

[sergik1992]

The problem for me is finding players for home game, because in place, where I live now, nobody has interest for poker... But nevertheless sometimes I meet with my friends and we play together.
Thank you for very useful article! I downloaded POKER CHIP CALCULATOR AND DISTRIBUTION and next time will use it!)

 

[Hackerosito]

I like this article, especially choosing the bets and players, I will take it into account and the evaluation of guests .. It is a very complete guide to organize tournaments and cash games.

 

[Dejange]

I like the article and really dunno what else a man could add???


Maybe to secure a refrigerator nearby the table, if beer would be the main drink
I recommend either glass bottled or beer kens, cause who will be that unlucky person to serve a draft beer

If stronger drinks would be served, make sure you have enough ice prepared and someone from the guests must bring nuts (fresh baked nuts are preferred).

That's my 0,02 $

[shanest]

We play a homegame every year the day after xmas. It is a great way to catch up with everyone. Usually just a freezeout for 20ish buy in.
Lots of drink and lose play as always
