Message: [QUOTE="MrSamsa, post: 4166467, member: 289813"] This past winter I actually played in /hosted a lot of home games in the ski resort dorms I lived in. It was mostly cash (NL50) but with a fair amount of tournaments in the mix too. We even had a 100$ buy in tounrament at the end of the year. I think one of the points that the article makes but doesn't dive into, is that having people who are actually interested in playing is extremely key in helping the games move along. When it was a bunch of players who loved the action and were there for the games everything went far smoother. We never had to remind one another to post blinds, there was no dispute on boards on who won, and overall the game was more engaging and fun. There were times when even just one person who was there just to hang out and drink slowed things down and disrupted the game flow to the point that it was almost not even worth the time. If anyone is interested in starting up their own home games I know that r/poker on reddit allows request's for players and their skill level is on par with everyone's here so there wouldnt be like the article stated some boring hoodie pro on iphone trying to hang out and set up his micro edge. I do disagree with how the articles makes it seem like you need some sort of set up, with a nice table, good chairs, chips, etc. I think all you need is a table and a chip set. Like I said its all about the players not just for the quality of the game, but just hanging out with people as the same passion as you who you can talk with joke around with and discuss strategy will not only be enjoyable but will also help improve your game. Which is something I was surprised the article didn't mention home games are great ways to get study groups together or too meet up and discuss new strategy's All in all though i thought the article was well thought out and informative [/QUOTE]
