It Beats Just Waiting


If you are part of a weekly or monthly poker group there may be a time that you have more players than necessary for a game of poker but not enough to warrant another table. Normally you would set up some type of a rotation plan to be sure everyone gets to play. However, this can be a little boring for the people that are waiting to play so you may want to consider including some side games for them to help pass the time.

Perhaps they could take an extra deck of cards and play a few hands of blackjack. If you have a dartboard maybe you could set up a game where two players compete for a seat at the poker table. Then after a designated amount of time, the player that is in last place at the table would give their seat up to the winner of the darts contest.

It might also be fun to set up an area where the extra players can play craps; again maybe the winner would get a seat at the poker table. Alternatively, you might want to get a nice Backgammon Set, to help fight the boredom and quite possibly use the winner to gain entry to the poker table, or use the doubling cube to determine the next player. There are many ways to help keep everyone entertained while waiting for their turn at the poker table. It also helps them enjoy their natural competitiveness along the way.
