Texas Holdem Game Rules

In a perfect world everyone would already know all the rules to Texas Holdem, but if we lived in a perfect world I wouldn't have such a fat ass! Ha ha! Take some time at the beginning of the game to go over the rules to Texas Holdem for the novice players and the players who haven't played before, and explain how the game is played. You may even want to play a couple of hands open first so that they can practice (& hopefully they won't bug you later!)

Also, have a schedule for increasing the blinds, say every 20 minutes or so once play starts to wind down. How much you increase the blinds by is determined by how long you want to play and how much the chips are worth. If you want a longer game you can give the chips lower values and increase the blinds less often, but if you're trying to keep a short game, give the chips a higher value and increase the blinds more often & to higher amounts.
