How to Host a Successful Poker Game

Hosting a poker game at your apartment is a great way to get friends or family together for a night of fun. However, being the host of the poker game means that you are responsible for making the game run smoothly along with a variety of other responsibilities. Here are a few tips that will ensure a successful poker night:

• Carefully select your guest list – When hosting a poker game, it’s important to ensure that all of your guests will enjoy each other’s company. Invite people within similar circles or people you know are friendly and tend to get along with everyone. Don’t invite people who you know do not like each other, as that can make for an awkward and uncomfortable night. 
• Provide food and drinks – Poker games can last for hours and your guests are sure to get hungry at some point. Don’t spend too much time worrying about preparing a fancy meal, as the main focus on the night will be the game anyway. So just order some pizzas, provide some refreshments, and enjoy the game.
• Agree on the rules beforehand – Before the game starts make sure that everyone knows which type of poker game you will be playing, what the buy-in will be, and when you will raise the blinds. This can eliminate any surprises or disagreements from occurring.
