You forgot the beers mate

[@jaimestaples9658]

Not much a drinker but I agree with you. Alcohol a good addition

[@Mazaa87]

Im half trolling, its nice either way :)

[@gregburger5186]

You forgot soft drinks and also cocaine and bootleg cigars

[@tonylars4128]

I'm not sure but ,if anyone else wants to uncover reddit learning to play poker try Giizabauth Greenback Generator (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my partner got great results with it.

[@jujudeck]

Thats how fights start...

[@johnrodger2042]

I have run a home poker game every Thursday night since the 1970s!

[@samb7758]

Thanks for the upload, it's great to see plenty of interest in home games being played in the UK, looking to host one soon and needed a bit of a refresh as i haven't played in ages, just the thing i was looking for! I do miss the poker boom era. Just need to get some players now :)

[@MC-gj8fg]

I have a beautiful poker table, copags and real clay chips (not those cheaper metal slug chips mind you). Spared no expense! The only thing I'm missing is that it's no longer 2007 and finding players is basically impossible.

[@fernandb.6162]

That sucks :( I'm young so I've got friends at school with who I'm able to play. But at work, or just friends, it's pretty difficult to find some people who like poker and actually play it. Have you found some in the meantime ? :D

[@TheFreakVids]

This looked really fun :) great vid, man.

[@jaimestaples9658]

Cheers man it was a fun time for sure!

U made the making of this soooo connected to the viewer and it was very exciting.

[@mikefaz5374]

thanks for the great video and content!

[@tonybrewer2428]

For a home game single table tourney, you don't want the levels to go up after a certain number of minutes. You should do orbits instead. If you start as the dealer, then on your third (or second, or fourth) time dealing, the blinds raise. This keeps it fair for everyone at the table and prevents anyone from being able to take advantage of how little time is left in the round. Time is used for MTTs because that is the only way to keep it fair without having to go hand for hand around the room.

[@jaimestaples9658]

Interesting Idea. Never done it like that. Would work well!

[@trefwoordpunk2225]

Sounds like the old William Hill sit n gos before they moved to ipoker. Ive never been a fan of it live tho because when people just fold and fold the blinds just go up too fast

[@samduckford2921]

Nice vid man 👍👍 i like how you got a trophy haha allways look forward to seeing ya content. Legend

[@jaimestaples9658]

Cheers Sam thanks man.

[@kagman123]

Nice Vid. In my home game each player brings a good bottle of wine as a bounty. Some bounties are opened during the second game!

[@BrandonLearns]

steve kagan that’s a good idea 💡

What a great idea man.

[@jasoncrase9803]

I host home games almost every weekend..man how I’d love to see so many bad all-ins pre-flop, especially when we are no limit unlimited buys all night. Still looked fun playing young style!

[@grassbetweentoes2707]

I did not expect a game outa this. So hype lol

[@Rookslife]

Really enjoyed the vid!!

[@jaimestaples9658]

Thanks man :)

[@RubenLopezJr]

Excuse my ignorance but you said you’re starting the blinds at 25/50, you’ve got $100/$500/$1000 chips... where’s the change to actually start the 25/50 blinds?

[@kitsparxdraws3359]

You mentioned the chip value, but I don’t think you mentioned how many chips you gave out per player. Also, did you mention the value of green? Just wanted to know because i also wanted to host a poker game soon, but i wanted to do the same as yours. I’d really appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.

[@Zotnamm]

How was your poker game? And what values did you use?

[@PaulOliveiiira]

@@Zotnamm 8 green for 25, 8 black for 100, 6 blue for 500 and 1 yellow or white for 1000. That's pretty much what you need to start with blinds 25/50

[@Zotnamm]

@@PaulOliveiiira ok thanks

I'd love to know where you got the cards with the big font and 4 colors for each suit, my buddy we play with has trouble seeing the suits sometimes so i've been looking for decks like that

[@hugohernandez610]

How did u divide the chips ?

[@tiagopereira9140]

Very funny this video :D

[@MarcoCaifan87]

Essential items: - Felt table - Poker chips - Cash - Cold cuts, cheese, nuts, and chips - Beer and liquor - Cigars - 2 helpers to serve the drinks and snacks

[@fernandb.6162]

You forgot the cards... Pretty essential would say, you can also just do some drawing beforehand, and do it on some paper.

[@davidmcaninch4714]

Cigars are a must.

[@mikehascats26]

home cash games are better because people can rebuy anytime. compare that to a tournament where people get knocked out and then get bored. i use 5 cent chips and make a standard buy-in $5, so poor people wont be scared away. i put $5 worth of chips in each ziploc bag to make buy-ins quick and easy. try to invite more people than you need because there will be no shows. print out poker hand ranks to give to new players

[@shaneharper67]

i plan on doin a similar thing with a tourney like once a week or so.. A game for us broke stoners to chill and have some fun lol

[@theredbaron057]

Well, one very helpful suggestion would be to not play on glass. It's a terrible surface to handle cards, has no cushion for chip splash, and you can SEE through it. Your dogs will know what you're holding!

[@m0nterzur]

Awesome content last couple of weeks, could u maybe make a video about how and where to study mtt strategy (it would be nice if u tell us about free places to study, not only RYE :D)

Why do you flip one off before the river and the last card

That's the way the casinos do it. There's one flipped off before the flop too.

Robert MacPherson just because he isn’t using a PokerStars chip set does not mean he’s been dropped 😂 we organised the game the night before having it. I don’t think chip sets grow wings and magically appear the next day. Relax 😂

@@jaimestaples9658 That one was funny wasent it :p

[@damianheaven4786]

That isn't really what I would consider a home game. A home game for me is a cash game. Which basicly means if you don't know the players get the same amount of chips they buyin for. For example is you buyin for 30 then you get 30 in chips buyin for 100 then you get 100 in chips and the blinds always stay the same. So 1/1, 3/5, 5/10 ect.

[@lonewolf4027]

So blind raise every 15 min. Or is it up to the host.

[@ciprianchiciuc6297]

I can't believe you used the cheapest chips on the market..

[@user-bw7kr7yf3m]

I've been doing home poker games for the last 20 years. I had a 3000€ table 10 leather chairs with wheels. I had personalized poker chips worth 3000€. I hired a professionnel dealer. Hot waitress. Message Lady. Ex military doorman at the Bottom of the condo and a private taxi for the players. The players could eat Sushi or whatever they wanted to order. You had to be on a guestlist. Only whales over 30 years old. Minimum 1000€ buyin blinds 5-10 then 10-20 then 20-40 near the peak of the game. I raked every pot 5%. That's how to do it not this amateur!
