P-P-P-Poker Face

Looking for a fun, low-key evening? Invite some friends over for a night of poker. It's a great way to catch up with friends, and heck...maybe even make a little money!

First, you need to decide what kind of poker night it will be. If you are playing a dealer's choice game where seven-card stud is a possibility, you can't have more than 7 players at the table. If you are playing Texas Hold'em, then you can have 6-10 players. Invite friends accordingly.

Then you need to decide what the buy-in and the stakes are. You will need to tell your friends how much cash to bring for the "buy in". It can be anywhere from $10 to $100. It is fun to make the money matter, but we aren't trying to send our friends to the curb if you they lose. The other thing you have to consider is what the stakes, or the betting structure, will be. How much will the min/max bets be, and so on?

Before your big poker night, make sure you have all the supplies to play--along with some food/drink to nourish the players! You will need poker chips, two decks of cards and a table to play on.
