final stack. I think I won $2k, or within h a few dollars that it doesn’t matter.
Looks like a Wanted poster was issued for his chips.
Had a dealers choice homegame this night.As @detroitdad said, any pot that hits $30 I take $3 out of. $2 of it goes towards the high hand and $1 to cover the food and drinks provided. We stop collecting at midnight when the high hand is paid out.
The TRK’s have had the longest wait so far, but they are going to have to wait a little longer still (part of the reason of I’ve been willing to sell them) in favor of the mixed set which has had the next longest time from the felt.
The new cut cards will also get to make their debut.

No excuse for that.Even though I’m crushing the game I’m not very happy since 4 people no called no showed and aren’t returning any texts.

Agree 100%. I sent out some harsh texts stating as much. They all apologized and promised it won’t happen again. They are all on the bottom on the invite list now.No excuse for that.

The real problem is the harm it does long term. The other players that did show may be more likely to not play worried it will happen again.
The only good thing is the players that came know they all said they were coming because I sent the invite in a mass text that they all replied that they were coming. So they know I didn’t lie about how many players were supposed to be to be playing.
1000% this !!!It's the most frustrating thing about hosting, by far.

How would you rate texting you half an hour before the game to say that unfortunately they can't make it?Such bullshit and agreed with @MrCatPants its definitely the most frustrating part of hosting. I had a new(er) PFCer say him and a friend were coming to my last game, no show no text not even a PM with a sorry I forgot the next day. Welcome to my blacklist.

No mention that their kid, wife or pet had to be rushed to a doctor or something.

Better than nothing honestly. But I've had that scenario take a table from 7 to 6, or 6 to 5 before, and since then I've started checking with my players 24 hours in advance to reconfirm, when I'm "on then order", and that seems to work well to prevent late cancels when im a little shorthanded.How would you rate texting you half an hour before the game to say that unfortunately they can't make it?

Older is by no means a problem in itself; I would say the contrary. But it usually also means children, and most importantly and sadly, wives!Now that I’m in a position to start hosting, seems rough to get going. Everyone’s older now!?
Well it not like his FIL was going anywhere. I mean, priorities right? I'm just saying.I had a friend of mine about 10 years ago no show for a game. He was only a twice a year kind of player. Very reliable once he committed. About three hours into the game he called. He was a disaster on the phone. He had went to his FIL house and found him dead in a recliner from a heart attack. He apologized for no showing. So I banned him. J/K, lol.
