Just hosted my first game! Not only was it my first time hosting a poker game, it was my first time hosting anything EVER.
It was just 5 handed 10c/20c with $10 buy in, between close friends whom I have known for approx 10 years. I have been playing poker for a long time but never with my friends, they probably only play once a year if at all. Wanted to post here as I used this forum was very useful in helping me set up the game.
Table : Researched extensively on this. Decided on 4 feet round tabletop as it was going to be largely a social game (so everyone can talk to one another) rather than serious poker. Also makes things easier as we are doing self deal. It was comfortable for 5 players.
Food and drinks : Another part where I researched. Ended up getting KFC chicken tenders, nuggets and fries. Stocked the fridge full of non-alcoholic drinks. My friends offered to chip in at the end but I declined. Since I only intend to host 3 to 4 times a year, it wouldnt cost a lot.
TV : Read the thread about what to put on the TV. Didnt have sports channels so I put Netflix's physical 100. Ended up being a good decision as everyone there enjoyed exercising and have seen the show.
