The Ultimate House Poker Party is as much about the atmosphere as is is about the Poker Game Going on. As a host planning an event you must take into account all of the major pieces of the event. Below is a breakout of each of these areas and what items you must plan for. The areas of the Ultimate Poker Party are Who to invite, Poker Room Atmosphere, Food & Drink, Poker Supplies, and Poker Game & Rules.
Who to Invite – Who to invite to a poker game is one of the biggest decisions you have as a poker host. This decision is based on the type of game that you are looking to have. If you want to have a great poker game with allot of action and tense moments you shouldn’t invite the novice players that will kill the atmosphere. At the same time if you are looking to have a friendly but Educational game with family and friends you should consider not inviting the want a be professional who will add stress to the environment.
Poker Room Atmosphere – The atmosphere of your designated poker area can be a key contributor to the experience people take away with them. The Poker Table is the starting area. If you are playing on a Poker type table people will be more impressed than if you are playing on your kitchen table or a Fold up table. Lighting is another concern, the best lighting setup is if you can have it where the poker table / tables have direct lighting overhead and the rest of the room has more area lighting. Keep the poker room area for players only (If possible). Set up a losers lounge where people out of the game can hang out and discuss their faults. Try to keep kids out of the area.
Food and Drink – Food and Drink are important choices for the poker game. If you choose to have a meal make it something that the people can eat either at the poker game or while socializing with the other players. Drinks are always an interesting issue to deal with. You as a host want to take care of your guest but you also have to be prepared for people that cant handle their alcohol. You don’t want any alcohol issues at your party.
Poker Supplies –
Poker Game & Rules – The Rules of the Poker Game you choose need to be based on the invite list you invite. A poker pro want a be doesn’t want to bend the rules for a newbie. At the same time a novice doesn’t want to be harassed by a poker expert. You Should set your rules based upon a standard or based on your invite list.
Good Luck on having your Ultimate Poker Party!
