Playing Poker with Family and Friends is About So Much More Than Cards!
Bond With People You Care About
Neighbors, old friends, family members – a poker game let’s you spend quality time with the people you care about, but might not get a chance to spend extended time with. Between hands, you’ll have the chance to catch up, tell stories, and build the kinds of relationships that last a lifetime.
We often engage in small talk at family gatherings or have quick chats with our favorite coworkers, but how often do we set aside time for fun and fellowship? A full poker game can be a long undertaking, and plenty of opportunity for snacks, laughs, and a great time you won’t soon forget.
Teach Kids Patience and Strategy
If you’re playing poker with your children, their friends, or young relatives, it’s a great teaching moment! Not only will the kids have to learn the rules, they’ll also have to take turns, manage their chips (or change), and communicate with one another to keep the game going.
As the game goes on – or as you host more poker events – the kids will catch on to the lessons of the game, and with them, skills they can take into other areas of their lives.
Make New Friends
A poker night is also a great way to entertain people you’ve just met! If you’ve just moved into the neighborhood, started a new job, or just want to get closer with your acquaintances, have a poker night!
Just like the quality time spent with the folks you already know, some friendly competition, good conversation, and refreshments help bring people together! This is great for making new friends, developing your professional network, establishing connections with in-laws – you name it!
Not only will you have a chance to enjoy each other’s company, you’ll also learn important character traits as people win, lose, get frustrated, and ride the emotional rollercoaster that comes with every poker game!
To host the perfect poker night, you can get a table, chips, cards, and other accessories at Emerald Spas and Billiards. Come visit us today!
