How to
Host a
Home
Game
You have
watched
the pros
battle
it out
on TV,
and not
want to
battle
it out
with
your
friends
but you
have no
clue how
to
start.
These
step
will
help run
a
successful
home
game.
1.
Get
Supplies
You will
need to
purchase
poker
chips
or
already
have a
set. You
will
need a
standard
deck of
52
cards.
Be sure
to check
or use
an
unopened
deck.
(You get
very mad
when you
have
been
playing
for 5
hours
and get
dealt
pocket
queen of
hearts
and have
to call
a miss
tourny,
trust
me)
2.
Find a
Table
Dinning
Room
tables
work
well, as
well as
poker/card
tables.
Make
sure the
table is
clean
and the
cards
slide
nicely
over it.
3.
Decide
who's
Dealer
Since
you are
hosting
the game
you
decide
who the
dealer
will be.
You can
have the
deal
pass
around
or pick
one
dealer
for the
whole
tourny.
I like
to be
the
dealer
if I am
the host
of the
game.
4.
Determine
Buy-in
You get
to
decide
how much
the
tournament
is worth
and how
much the
payouts
are for.
I like
to
payout
to the
top 3
remaining
of the
tourny
to a 50%
30% 20%
percent
scale.
