By Toby Bochan, About.com

A great way to enjoy a good game of poker with friends it to have a poker tournament at home. You can play with as few as 6 or as many players as you’d like, and you can play any kind of poker you’d like. You can play limit, pot-limit, or no-limit, or mix it up. The varieties and fun are endless.

But to get started, the easiest and most common set-up though is to have 8 to 10 players at one table and play no-limit Texas Hold’em. This easy how-to will get you going in no time to playing the most popular form of tournament poker there is.
