Hosting a Home Poker Game

Wednesday October 5, 2005
With Fall in the air and the days getting shorter, people are naturally starting to spend less time outdoors and more in the comforts of home. So what better time to start a home poker game? Whether you go all-out with poker room decor including a fancy poker table and poker chips and play high-stakes Texas Hold'em all night, or go for a more casual game of friends around the table with a dealer's choice game filled with seven-card stud and its many variations, it's sure to be a welcome fall tradition.

Some good advice on what snacks to avoid at home games can be found at CardSquad: Top 5 list of foods not to serve at a home poker game, which is sound advice if you want to keep the action literally clean. Any other thoughts on home games? Leave a comment!
