Home Game: Too many?

[AggroMob]

I play in a home game every week that is always 12 - 16 people, and we 2 table every time.

I had a bunch flake at the last minute last night and we ended up going 6 and we all liked it very much. We even played 5 handed and everyone liked it a lot more than thye thought they would. Most times I have a hard time getting enough to play at all.

Most of the time when we play at home were also with 12-13 players. Most of the time we play a small rebuy tournament then. When there are 9 or 10 players left we move to one table so the other table can play cashgames.

When we are with 10 or less players we mostly play cashgames.

you must run 2 tables in this situation. Rotating in during orbits is not fun enough for a home game which people are looking for.

If you have 12 people, you have to split.
If I had my way, I would also split with 11. But it seems like most people would rather play 11-handed than 5-handed, so unfortunately we usually squeeze into one table with that number.

Agreed.. though lately, it's the reverse at my game. Last cash night, they split a 10-player into two 5s, making me set up another table for the nummies ( < not a typo, BTW).

I blame it on 6-max online games.
