Guide to Poker Night
Greetings, all, and welcome to Dave's Guide to Poker Night!
First, a quick look at what this place is all about - there's a lot of
poker out there these days, and Dave's Guide only covers some aspects
of it - this isn't for hardcore tournament players, it's not about TV
or celebrity poker, and we definitely cover a lot more than just
no-limit Texas Hold'em! Instead, this is about poker with friends -
poker as a pastime, not a profession, to be enjoyed over the course of
a night as entertainment. Don't come here to learn how to win
big by fleecing your opponents - hopefully what you learn here will be
how to play with the same group of friends, family, or coworkers for
years, having fun and not turning them into
enemies.
This guide presents the way that I've found are the easiest to learn
and most enduringly entertaining styles of poker play. From
the house rules and betting systems to the games, the material here is
designed to keep poker night accessible to beginners and remain
entertaining for experienced players. It's not THE way to do
things; it's just the way I've found that works best! I hope
it can work for you, too.
In Dave's Guide, you'll find the following sections:
- Planning -
How to go about actually getting a poker night together! After
all, you can't play alone!
- Setup -
There are things that need to be done to set up a successful poker
night; make sure you get things started right!
- House Rules
- These are the overall rules for how poker night works, in
general. All the games work underneath the house rules, which
cover things like betting, order of hands, how the dealership changes,
and so on.
- Games - A
solid variety of interesting games
that'll keep the players on their toes! Nonstop Hold'em does
get boring after a while, ya know...
- Links -
Some other good resources out there, for your reference.
