Poker Night

There are more than 1,000 casinos in the United States and, with over 86% of the U.S population having gambled at least once in their life, there is no telling how many of people are addicted to the risk and possibility of making easy cash. Perhaps, instead of only individuals, we are a Nation addicted to gambling.

For, while gambling in casinos may not be for everyone, there is a place where players at different levels can come together with low risk: the neighborhood Poker Night. Even if we are not playing poker then we are playing the lotto, sitting in our own Chicago apartments betting online, or playing another card game.

At least in our own homes we make up our the rules. If you are thinking of getting together with some friends and introducing your own regular Poker Night, here are a few things to consider.

  • Have players each bring a type of food to share, or have them take turns bringing food, so that the burden of feeding a hungry group does not fall on one person.
  • Spice things up by playing a variety of games and welcome new players. You may get used to your Poker buddies, but share the love. Guys, don’t forget the ladies, and gals, let a guy in once in awhile.

  • Keep it light by playing with small amounts of cash or something other than cash. This lessens the possibility of fights, someone losing their rent money, or becoming addicted to the game. Poker Nights are a great way to enjoy the thrill of the game with low risks and lots of fun.
