To make the game enjoyable for both you and your friends, here are some things to consider when setting up a home poker game.

Find out if it’s Legal to set up the game in your home

Having a poker game in your home is legal in some states as long as no one is making any form of profit from the poker game. This however does not mean that a person has to give back their winnings at the end of the poker game. It only means that the host of the game should not take a rake or any kind of fee by setting up the poker game. This is the general rule about this for most state, but it is important to note that different states have different rules pertaining to the game. The popularity of the poker game had made many state legislatures come up with new statutes in relation to the poker game. It is for this reason that it is important to always check the local laws of your state before setting up a poker game.

You should set up reasonable stakes

Hosting a home poker game is about having fun. You should design a game that you are sure everyone would enjoy. This should not mean that you should not try to win any money, just ensure that you win it fairly without having to alienate your friends. All participants should decide on stakes that they are comfortable with before starting the game. You should figure out just how much a play can lose in a night and ensure all participants are agreeable with it. Always remember that your home is not a casino and participants may have reservations about coming back for another game if they lose too much money. Avoid leaving the game early after winning a few pots since this may ruffle the feathers of some participants. It is good to alert other participants an hour in advance when you plan to leave the game. You can also choose to set up an agreed ending time before the poker game begins.

You shouldn't let the Players Cash In and Out Themselves

Let one player handle the chips to reduce the chances of cashing mistakes. The host is usually the person handling the chips. The host should also be responsible for making sure that everyone is paid at the end of the night. A winning night can quickly become a loss for the host if there is no enough money covering everyone's chips.

Follow the above rules will guarantee you an evening of great fun and success in a home poker game.
