Home Poker Games 101

Saturday March 11, 2006

Now, in New York, where I live, it's not legal to run a poker room, which leaves me with two options: Go to Atlantic City, 2.5 hours away, or get together a home poker game. I have a regular home game I go to, but honestly, sometimes once a week is not enough to feed my poker cravings. Also, when you host your own poker game, you get to make the rules, and that leaves me free to declare that instead of playing Texas Hold'em all night, we're going to have a rotation poker game. And the games we rotate through are going to include my favorite, Omaha poker and Razz poker. Hoorah!
