Hosting A Texas Holdem Poker Nights

(Unless of course your poker night is just a one-time special occasion!) If you’ve set a date, don’t change it. It’s a common temptation when a few folks cancel on you, but the reality of life is that you won’t have everyone present all the time. With a recent poker night, only three of the eight guys I invited could make it. Hosting your own poker night is a great way to spend time with friends and family. The first step to running a successful game is purchasing the right home poker supplies. In this article, we'll talk about essential items such as cards and chips, as well as useful accessories such as blind buttons and felt tabletops.

Determine your chip denominations. A typical casino standard is $1 for white, $5 for red, $10 for blue, $25 for green, and $100 for black. Note that chip denominations don't necessarily have to relate to the cash involved if you are playing for money.
Aside from poker acumen, what do you need to host a successful Hold 'em tournament? First, know the law. States allow home tournaments as long as you don't profit off the gig.

In his song, 'The Gambler,' legendary country musician Kenny Rogers crooned about a forlorn, lonely man, spouting wisdom about life and poker. Rogers' character had spent his life playing cards, draining him emotionally and physically.

The Gambler never met Chris Moneymaker -- and the last name says it all. In 2003, Moneymaker shocked the gaming world, winning $2.5 million at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event after paying just forty bucks to get into the tournament -- as an amateur. The success of Moneymaker and other players, combined with WSOP television coverage, has brought poker to the forefront of the gaming world.

Texas Hold 'em, is one of the most popular poker variations today, and according to gaming site, Titanpoker.com, played by more online players than any other poker variation. So, what's the allure?

In other variations of poker, you use five cards to make a good hand, though you're often dealt more. Sometimes you use all five cards, like a full house or a straight, but often, it's just a pair. You bluff, if you're a convincing player; fold if you have zilch. In Hold 'em, you get seven cards, but only two of them are private. Everything else is dealt face-up, in the middle of the table for everyone to 'play off.' Consequently, bluffing is harder and the game holds more of a challenge.

So, you want in on this gaming craze? Host a tournament! These tips tell you everything you need for a night of holding and folding.
