| Help on setting up my own home games Hey guys im interested in starting my own home games with around 6-10 people, i have a 9g clay chip set and cards, and a card table, i was just wondering what more you guys entail when u have a game. for instance, clear cut house rules, etc. Keep in mind it would be with college students with probably a $20 buy in. Thanks alot, Jonathan |

| Best thing to do is set up what you want to run. Holdem, omaha? Tournament or ring (cash) game? If you run a tournament, set up the blind structure before you start and have a timer or program to run it for you. A good free program would be tournamentdirector.net. House rules are not really needed unless you have people who have not played alot of poker. Then a quick explanation of splashing the pot, etc could be done. I prefer to keep it lighthearted and your players will feel the same. You make it serious and your friends will take it that way also. It is up to you. |

| Definately set ground rules... Here's a site that I found very useful for home games (chip amounts, blind levels, other random things). www.homepokertourney.com |

| re: Help on setting up my own home games poker what i usally do with house games is play a tournament where we start of with blinds and raise them every 15 mins or so just like online and then once ppl start getting eliminated well start a side cash game so no 1 gets bored and we can keep gambling |

| You forgot the most important ingredients, beer and chips. And also sort out the payouts before you start to avoid any arguments. Little things like bum deals, flipping a card over while dealing it to a player are others ones to have clear cut rules for. Enjoy, home games are great fun. |
