How do you end cash games (1 Viewer)

When it gets to the already agreed-upon quitting time, announce one more orbit

We play mixed games on a rotation presented by using a slideshow. When the rotation reaches the end, the night is over. We usually play for 5-6 hours depending on how many players we have.

Generally my games end themselves naturally without me having to force it.

If I have 8-9 players at 7 pm, by midnight these will be down to 6-8. By 1:30 it’ll be 4-6.

At this point one of two things usually happen:

1) If the group consists of more gambly regs, we’ll switch from Hold ’Em to mixed games… especially our favorite, the game of all games, Rosey (which is best played 4-5 handed). In this scenario we may last another hour but this has been known to go to 5 am.

2) If the remaining group includes people who don’t play mixed games, we discuss how much longer everyone wants to play. Often we’ll wrap in this scenario by 2 or 2:30 am.

The time to end is usually when the players don't want to play anymore. This may because it's late or the game has become short handed, or whatever. If the players want to play longer than the host wants to stay awake, just let them know you're calling it in X amount of time.
