| Home games can be easier ways to make some money, that is, if your home game isn't littered with sharks as mine is. Playing with really good players 12+ hours/week can really improve your game though. If I want to make money, I go to the casino, but if I want to have fun and enjoy myself with my friends, I play a home game. |

| Home games are great to get togeather with some friends and play for fun. I have made some cash before off of home games. We have a small $5 buy-in with $3 re-buys and we try to play two games if we don't have a full table. I've made $200 in a night before winning both games with everybody re-buying as the were busted. ( I didn't have to re-buy once, knock on wood). Casino's are a great way to make money if you are close to one, I'm about an hour and a half away so I don't go as much as I should. I enjoy both to be honest, so on your poll I pick C. All of the above! |

| Home games are for fun, casinos are for trying to win real money. My problem with home games is that I only really play them with friends - consequently, the stakes are low because I really don't want to take large sums of money off them. If I could get a regular invite to a cushy home game where I didn't have that qualm... I'd probably have a different view |

| im gonna go with home games because i would probably lose my temper after losing to a suck out so it would be a bad idea for me to go to a casino. while at home games its just kind of like w/e you have couple of beers play some poker and its all good and no pressure at all, while at casinos you actually have to try and shit like that. |

| Home Games My home games are usually with family and we play $5 freeze-outs with little chips just so that we can get a few tourneys in at fam-jams. It's really nothing more than a bingo shoot-out. But it's fun and entertaining just talking about anything or picking on each other. I definitely go to a casino when I want to get serious about playing and wanting to make money. Plus, don't want to be seen as too serious around family and trying too hard to take everyone's money. |

| Home games were fun to me when I had no idea how to play. After winning all most all of my home games and my friends games it lost its appeal. I stopped getting invited to games after this. Here is the big question who here likes to take money from friends?? I for one dont like it. Strangers and other poker room regulars I have no problem with taking their money. Most of them can loose it and not cause problems. |

| re: home games poker I play in a bi-monthly year round no-limit tournament with a player of the year award and toc tournament at the end of the year. It is my first year in their poker club and have been having a great time. The tournament usually has around 45 players and it has been fun to get to know new people especially since I have been winning. I vote home game as I don't go crazy there as it is only a $60 buy-in which includes snacks, soda, and food (byob) so I never can lose more than $60. |
