With the unfortunate passing of a fine home poker pioneer named Barry (nutN2Lewz) in 2017, the home poker community also lost a great resource, his baby, homepokertourney.org. Barry did great work and it is my hope to continue his legacy here.
All of the content you see here was created by Barry, and with the exception of removing some dead links, is exactly as he left it.
I mean no harm or copyright infringement.
I host this site to honor the great work that nutN2Lewz did.
If you are the family of Barry and wish for his work to be taken down, please contact me at homepokerinfo.com and I will remove it at your request.

Howdy, I'm nutN2Lewz - that's a picture of me in my barrel. I host a monthly poker tournament in my basement and constantly
run into folks asking how to organize and run a poker tournament in your home. I'm no poker expert (You can tell a lot about a
man by the clothes he wears!) but this site should help you organize your next home poker party. What is the size of a poker
table and where can I find felt? Should I build a poker table or modify an existing table for poker? How many poker chips do I
need for my tournament? How many chips should each player start with? What blinds schedule should I use and how long will my
poker tournament last? How do I seat poker players at multiple tables and move them to a final table? Where can I download poker
rules? What happens when the dealer forgets to burn a card? Where can I find a poker blinds timer? Where can I find poker players?
I've got answers to all these questions and more ...

If you like the thrill of playing from your home, you may want to try online casino games, but choosing the right one can be a
difficult task. TopOnlineCasinos offers the best starting point,
including reviews and unique bonuses. Another place to find real money payouts can be found at
Real-Money-Casinos. It's worth remembering that every casino and
game has a different payout percentage. Generally it varies from 85%-98%, so it makes sense to pick the games and
online casinos with the highest payouts.
Hosting a poker game in your home is a legal activity where I live and you can use these ways
to help you find players. Make sure it is a legal activity in your neck of the woods
before you host or participate in a poker game (call your local police non-emergency phone number). No wagers are accepted on this
site, which is for information purposes only. Use the information provided on this site at your own risk.
If you're stuck and can't find a way to start hosting your home tournament, you can visit some of the
best online casinos. Visit Online Casino X and
find a site to place a bet. It has a great guide for the online gambling world! If you're Canadian and are looking for bilingual games,
you can also check out these top online casinos in Canada.
I hope you enjoy this website and find it useful. I consider it a pleasure and a privilege to have the opportunity to teach you a
thing or two about hosting a poker tournament. Hopefully, one day, I'll have the opportunity to teach you a few more lessons at the
poker table!
Good luck and ... shuffle up and deal!
