Be The Poker Shark asked:


Ok so the chips are on the table, the beers are in the fridge you have your finest pair of all black sunglasses on stand by… so, is that all the bases covered for your home poker game? Well no is the simple answer. Don’t worry though this article gives you all the info to help you on your way to having a fine night of poker.

 

What’s the Buy-In and what are the Stakes?

 

Ok this is the most important part of the whole evening. Get this wrong, and the night may turn sour very fast. Make sure you set your limits before you start and don’t change them. Keep it friendly; remember the idea is to have a good night not to make it so your mate Terry can’t pay the rent.

Set the blinds, amount of re-buys, and structure (limit, no-limit or pot limit) before you start. Make sure everyone is happy.

 

Equipment

 

This sounds easy but trust me something will be forgotten if you don’t double check everything. You will at least need all the items on this list to make sure you have a decent game.

 

Cards x 2 decks minimum (one always gets damaged)

Pastillion x1 this goes at the bottom of the deck so no one knows or can see the bottom card.

 

Dealer button x 1

 

Chips: Now people if you have 8 players and every one is getting 1000 in starting value stacks. Break it down to 5×100 6×50 8×25 = 19 chips each or 152 chips in total. Most sets you can buy have at least 200 chips as a minimum and usually 4-5 colours. If you are having a re-buy game mark one colour as the same value as the same total as your starting stack of a 1000. This will greatly reduce the number of chips you need to play a re-buy.

 

Keep your players happy - if you want to be seen as a good host, make sure that you keep the players happy with a few pizzas and a good stock of beer. As a host collect a small flat fee from each player at the start of the night to cover food and drinks and this is a good way to keep everyone happy while not shelling out too much of your own money. Remember that a happy poker player will often spend (lose hopefully) more money than an unhappy one.

 

Well I hope this help you host the perfect home game, until my next update take care of your selves and take care of you cash by having a look some of our trusted sites and win some money @ http://www.bethepokershark.com/where2play.html

Tom Wilson asked:


Can you remember sitting down with family and friends for a relaxing evening of cards? How about those cups of coffee, snacks, and occasional beers that went down along side the friendly chat and gossip? Unfortunately changing times and busy schedules have transformed fun-nights like those into nothing more than fond memories.

Fortunately, not all is lost; card games have since crossed the threshold of our homes and found their way onto the Internet. Online card games can be played for fun, or for cash.

Online gaming websites typically offer multi-player as well as solo card games so you and friends can get together and create new memories. Though there are a large variety of playable online card games, the availability of them depends upon the number of players searching, the time needed for a game, the rules of the game, and the game desired.

Poker players around the world have discovered that online casinos are a great place to have fun. They can join in on multi-player tournaments or head to head games for fun, winning cash along the way. Websites typically offer a multitude of games including spades, heart, several varieties of poker, blackjack, and more.

For all Texas Hold’em fans, most online gaming sites will offer several tourneys for you to participate in, after you are comfortable with your poker playing ability, why not upgrade to Stud, Pineapple, or Omaha. Some sites offer some serious cash prizes for tournament winners. However, cash isn’t everything. You can also play free online card games which is good for practicing as well as spending some fun time for yourself.

Playing online is a great way to improve your odds of winning when it counts. By accumulating free practice, you will be better prepared when the time comes for you to win some serious coin; by then you will have developed strategies that fit your liking. One last feature about online card games that really draws people in, is the prospect of making new friends and creating a social network while playing the games you love, online.
