I set a firm stop time for cash out. I say anyone who wants to keep playing can but the game officially ends at the set time. This way no one gives the winners a hard time for leaving.

I have a set 9 guys and then alternates. If someone finds out they can't make it they notify me and I get an alternate. This way my game always has exactally 9 guys. Leaving early is frowned upon and if someone leaves early more than once they are taken off regular status and moved to alternate. Everyone brings multiple buy ins.

I do not like the idea of advertising for players as you don't know what type of person you might get. The best games have a synergy between players that creates a friendly yet competitive atmosphere. I play golf and most of my players are advid golfers which creates a good bond among the players.
