Proper Planning

Planning for an ultimate poker night involves more than just marking the date on your calendar. You should have a detailed mental walkthrough of how the day will be right from when your friends arrive until they leave. Plan for things such as drinks and snacks to serve, when they will be served, and what order they will be served.
If the drinks run out, what is the backup plan? Next, decide on the time to start and how long you shall wait for latecomers. Then, come up with a plan on what you will do when the people don’t show up. Planning will make your night smooth and more enjoyable.

Be Conversant with the Game

As the host, you should have knowledge and skills in hand rankings, rules and flow of betting, and know the game etiquette. People’s interest in the game will increase when they play with a pro since they will learn a lot. In addition, being well versed with game rules will preclude the instances of players becoming buried in their smartphones trying to get poker rules which can consume most of the night.

Determine Playing Experience the of Your Players

Based on the level of playing of your players, beginners or pros, decide on how harsh the game rules will be. If they are all beginners, be more lenient when it comes to following rules. On the other hand, if some of your players are World Series of Poker enthusiasts, ratchet the intensity of rules, and forewarn newcomers, it will be a serious game.

Number of People You Can Accommodate

Determine how many people your “venue” can comfortably entertain. Look to see that everyone who shows up will have a place on the playing table. It would be heartbreaking for eight people to show up, and your table can only hold seven. Consider getting custom poker tables that can stretch to create beautiful and comfortable sitting spaces.

Establish House Rules in Advance

Make sure that your players are conversant with the game rules before starting the game. Such rules can include the worth of one chip, how many chips a player will get to start the game, penalties for playing or betting out of turn, and when to raise blinds. Also, state the type of game to be played, if it’s a tournament or cash game. Finally, provide a list of the rules and display it on the table.
