Hello all.
For all you people who frequently play home games..
Basically I was curious to know what kind of structure do you use? How many people play? What is the buy in? Do you play a certain game? and what are some of your rules.... Also is it dealers choice?, limit games? no limit games? 3card poker games? old maid? uno? throwing the most cards into boxes from long distances??????
I usually play at my buddies house about 4-5 times a month. I'm not a rich man, and neither are my friends, so our buy ins are usually $20 max and $10min. Its generally the same 6 people, but sometimes it varies, there can be between 5 - 9 players in a given game
We generally play no limit holdem and stick to it. 20 dollars equals 2000 chips
We'll start out with blinds of 10 and 20 and we'll agree prior to the game how often to raise the blinds. Usually between 20-45 minutes, or, when someone is eliminated. We also agree before the game whether we are going to play tournament or cash style.
If we play tournament style, there are no rebuys and we decide prior to the game how to split the money up- usually either 2 or 3 players cash.
If we don't do a tournament, then rebuys/addons are allowed prior to hands when you have 10$ or less. We basically play till were broke, shitface drunk, or tired. This is when we all agree to call time on the game and play a certain number of hands and then quit. If you want to cash out early, you have to play at least 1 round(each person deals once per round) for each person at the table. For instance If I want to leave with 3 other people still in the game. I would have to play 16 hands or 4 rounds before i could cash out. This helps to prevent someone from trying to take all the money and run.
Our games last from 5 to 12 hours. Ive had to go into work with little or no sleep many times because of the card games. I try not to rebuy more than twice, but sometimes I just want to keep playing.
