I am looking to start a home game in my area, stakes would be 2/4 but would not mind playing anything up to 10/20 any good suggestions on how to find enough players.

Thanks

Work, friends, familly?

I don't know if I would want a bunch of complete strangers coming into my home to play for money.

It is impossible to start a game without players. Get a bunch of your buddies over to play even if only 5 or 6 of you. Then expand and grow. If you don't know anybody interested in playing poker you may as well not bother trying.

Instead try to find a homegame already in your area to join.

We've got a game in West Phoenix but I'm not the host. I've been slowly converting them to Hold'em but for now it's a dealer call. Usually hold em or 7card without any screwy games. We usually do a $50 buy in NL table stakes with rebuys.

Me and a friend have been trying to get them to agree to a SNG or two for the night. I can't really invite you (not my game) but if you want to email me your info (anyone else in phoenix also) we might need some extra bodies some night and I can recomend you. Or maybe we can start up some more games. I have one friend who is pretty dedicated and a few others who like to play alot.

I wouldn't mind doing more home games to avoid the rakes at the casino and to get a break from online gaming.

email me at texroadkill@yahoo.com

That would be cool... I like playing hold 'em and strictly that... i have played other forms but don't really committ much money to them simply because I don't want to try to master more than one game at a time.

Only home game I ever hear of is a bunch of old ex-marines that play twice a week, nickles and dimes. A really good night means going home with and extra $4.75... I never got invited anyway. I don't know how I feel about home games, tho... the action is just too good at CAZ...
