Getting Set Up So, now the essentials are in the bag youβre ready to begin thinking about the finer details of π your home poker tournament. Letβs take a look at everything you need to keep the tournament moving, from setting blind π levels and starting stakes to poker chip distribution and tournament structure. Stakes Setting stakes in a home poker tournament boils down to π how much the players want to play for. Ideally you want a buy-in that players will be comfortable paying for π (and if rebuys or add-ons are going to be available, that should also be a factor). Setting buy-ins too high may π put off some of your invited players who are seeing your poker home game as more of a fun activity π than the chance to win some prize money. Likewise, setting the buy-ins too low will probably put off players who π are attracted by the opportunity to win some extra cash. Itβs a balancing act that depends on the players who π will be playing, so bear that in mind and, however much you choose to play for, make sure everyone knows π the details in advance. |
