List all things that make a home poker game good , or better

OnlinePro · #1 08-30-2007, 08:50 AM

1. Nice poker table.
2. Comfortable chairs.
3. Air conditioned room.
4. Quality chips.
5. Profesional atmosphere ( no fooling around )
6. Food and drinks on demand.
7. Fishy, action players.
8. Good deck of cards.
9. Tv in same room ( watch games )
10. New players every week.

Am I missing anything here ? I basically want my home game to be the most enjoyable home game anyone every goes to. What else would I need besides those things listed above ?

Is it legal to have a bad beat jackpot if everyone agrees to it and we take money out of pot and save it and accumulate every week ?

In addition to your list:

1. List the house rules
2. No jackasses (unless they are ATMs)
3. No smoking

I think a bbj is legal -- as long as the house doesn't take a rake, you should be OK.

I think this really depends on what you're looking to get out of the game, i think some of the things in your list are kind of unrealistic for a home game, but yours may be very different to mine...

I generally play with my mates as a kind of break from online, casino so i guess i'd be looking for things like:

Drinks, TV, no [censored] (even if they are complete donaters) and i guess just a moderate level of seriousness

I think you're looking at it from a different perspective however, and whats been listen above sounds pretty good as a whole...
All i can think of is MAKE SURE your chips are not easy to duplicate and only one person EVER touches the bank...im sure you'd already have thought of this but im just making sure [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] good luck

Your posts are unreadable and foul up an otherwise interesting thread.

He's trying to explain that it's almost impossible to understand your posts - because they are unintelligible.

You've got a real problem. You need to address it, especially if you're a young man. Life will be long and hard if you're unable to communicate at a basic level. Unfortunately, that's your current situation.

You may now proceed to insult me for trying to help you out.

this hurts a home game, in my opinion. i play home games to goof around with my friends. if i want a serious atmosphere, i can drive to a card room.

I agree. I see the home games I played at as "quite, no stress, no work night out" or simply just to goof around. Seriousness and focus are good things, but it's also good to be relaxed and have a good time. Too uptight is not good for a home game.
