That’s gorgeous. That’s my dream game. To cook good-ish food for all my friends and play cards and bs. Spouses included if they like.At this point, there is probably an entire thread dedicated the the Hot Dog Roller. They are very popular. I go next level...

Of course, it helps when your crew contributes. However, poker is a skilled game. The more you play, the better you get. There is a very good chance you will play more than any of your other players, so you have the opportunity to get better than all of them. That helps to absorb some of the financial costs. The rest I attribute to the cost of entertainment.
On most nights, I spent $50 in food for a $20 buy-in. That's a cost I can budget for and absorb on a 8-9x a year party.
Do the +1s at your games/parties/tourneys play as well? Or do they usually sit out?
