we normally have 4-10, if we only have 4 we normally start out with a tourny of lightning(alternating games of holdem, razz, omaha, stud) until more people arive.
Then we either play 1-2 cash games or 10 to 25 dollar tournies.

Usually we get anywhere from 4 to 10+. We play any one of a variety of games, and the stakes depends on who's there and who just got their paychecks.

I normally play 6-10 games with a 40 buck buy-in with refills. pretty fun except that I play with wealthy guys who don't mind losing 200 bucks. They go in all hands and it's quite hard to win with skill. The highest I've won is 200 bucks.

I like to get tourneys together, so the more the merrier. Last one my brother put together we had 20. 2 tables of ten. Worked out fairly well. We kind of blew the table balancing deal. Final table was 2 from one table and 6 from the other. The two from the one table had obvious chip leads and dominated the final table.

I like it best when there is 8-10 at one table. I am thinking about getting a cash game together if I can gather enough chips. Again I would prefer 8-10.

yea for the tournies i have every nite at my friends house, i love to have as many as we can get. like when u get say an even amount of people together for a tourny (say you have 16 people) have 8 on each table and play til u get down to 4 players on each so that way it'll be more evened out.

I prefer about 6-8 because then we can all fit at one table, but I have had 18 a few times (very tight tables and long match). Home games are a lot of fun because I get to play with my friends, but it just takes so long to play. A lot of the times its hard to get one clear winner after the time we have to play.

The more the better. Cash games I could care less how many people are in but for tournies, atleast 8 for me. Any less and theres not enough money. We usually give top 3 money, but if we don't have as many people only two get money. I know in the area I live in we try and have 2 big tournies a year where we get anywhere from 25 to 30 people.
