I am thinking about hosting an in person poker night once covid is done with. Any advice for what all I would need?


I’d start with at least two decks of plastic cards. Plastic will be way more durable and don’t crease or stain like your standard paper cards. You want to play with two decks so you can always have a shuffled deck ready to play after each hand instead of holding up play to shuffle. Of course a decent set of chips.  With that you’re good to go. If you have the space a felt oval poker table would be great for the game. 
 

That’s about the minimum you need but of course every good poker game should have access to at least one TV for sports and plenty of drinks and food.

Also I’m assuming this is just for a friendly tournament game. If it’s a cash game you may look into finding someone who will work as the permanent dealer.

I held a weekly game for years...kids kinda killed it.  All my buddies got real busy.

Need to start it up again.

KEM or COPAG playing cards are generally seen as the "best" plastic playing cards.  I've also had good experience with the 12-pack of Bicycle cards available at the local Sam's Club or Costco (I prefer the Big Pips because they're a bit more fun and easier to see across the table when the dealer is laying out the community cards, but that's a personal preference.  Bonus for using a 12-pack? Once the decks start getting dinged up you have spare decks to swap in as needed.

If you're doing tournament - which some folks prefer since it puts everyone on an even $ playing field - then you'll probably want to get some freebie poker timer/blind app to keep track of when the blinds will go up. Some tokens to indicate BB, SB, and Dealer are usually helpful too.

Make sure you have enough chips to cover the denominations you're playing. A standard 200-chip poker set may not provide a 12 person, two table NL tournament with adequate chip coverage.   Perhaps @Cary Kollins can offer more advice on that front.

      For Bryce Young and Dave Canales, the emphasis is on details

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      You should because before the preseason fiasco and the start of the season fiasco, all the reports, including Frank’s responses, were that Fitterer and Reich were in lock step. Remember the press conference where Fitterer talked about both he and Frank saying who they wanted before and after the draft process and that they both picked Young and it was glorious? People got hung up on Tepper saying the point guard analogy in April when Brown was interviewed by a Panthers reporter describing how a QB needs to be a point guard in huge detail. That was in February. I think Tepper was just parroting Brown to make himself look like he knew what he was doing. Mrs. Tepper hugging Bryce always overshadowed CJ saying how he called her Mama Tepp. We fuged up as a team, probably more so because Fitterer always said he had Young as his #1 the year before, probably because we looked at all the QBs that year as well. Reich’s love for CJ started when he got on the hot seats for frankly doing a horrific job. He's been in the league a long time and has a lot of media friends and that was a face saving CYA which we know well with many years of Hurney. Still amazing to think how much better the team was under Rhule/Hurney before Fitterer got any control when Rhule was on the hot seat.
