FAQ: READ FIRST! Rules, and How to find a game or players.

Home Game Listings forum rules

This sub-forum is where you can look for players for a game you host, or find a game if you are looking for one.

When posting in Home Game Listings, you must follow these rules:

• Posts about your unraked home game can be made in an existing or new thread. You must explicitly state that there is no rake or fee charged. If you do not do this, a mod may delete your posts or the thread.
  
• Posts for raked games or games which require any type of payment in order to play should be made in the Pay-to-Play Game Listings sticky thread. This is the only place these types of posts are allowed. You must also give details about any rake and fees charged.
  
• Listings for online games, charity events, bar/pub poker, etc. are not permitted. If it isn't live poker in your home, DON'T list it here. (PokerStars "Home Games" are online games, not home games.)
  
• Don't post about illegal games. State and local laws vary, so it is up to you to determine if your game is legal. While this website is not a substitute for legal advice, it may give you an idea of whether your home game is violating your state's laws: http://www.gambling-law-us.com/State-Law.... Whatever your local laws, 2+2 is not responsible for your decisions about your game, nor for you posting about your game here.
  
• You may not advertise others' games. You must be the host to place a game listing in this forum.
  
• The purpose of this forum is to help hosts and players find each other, so please limit off-topic conversations.
  
• Anyone misrepresenting their raked game as a non-raked game will be permanently banned from this website.
  
• Safety warning! Please do not include specific game locations (or anything that would make it obvious where the game is played), and be careful who you invite. Addresses or other specific location info will be deleted.
  

Some additional guidelines:

• If you just say "home game," you'll get more responses, but the guy looking for 2/5 PLO8 probably isn't going to be interested in your .25/.50 NLHE game. Don't waste his time or yours - include game types and stakes in your listings.
  
• For your own safety as a host, it's a good idea to develop a method for checking out new players before you invite them. This thread offers one system.
  
• Avoid posting contact info (phone, email) in an open thread - exchange it via PM. Otherwise you're opening the door to spammers, prank callers, etc.
