Private poker tables

Stake should come up with an option of private poker tables

Yeah that would be fire fr, imagine running your own lil game with the boys. Would def make poker more fun on here.

Facts bro, private tables would go crazy. Would be sick to run some rounds with the squad without randoms joining.

Would be dope if they let us set the stakes and rules too, not just lock the table.

Yeah fr, being able to customize the blinds and game type would be huge. Right now it's pretty limited and half the fun is setting up weird house rules with the boys.

ngl a private table with full control over blinds and rules would get me playing poker way more often

for sure, plus it'd keep the vibe way more chill since u ain't gotta worry about some random tilting and ruining the table energy

Private tables are cool and all but honestly I'd rather they fix the net code or whatever first before adding new features. The current tables are laggy enough.

yeah running a game with just ur buds would be so nice

i think id prefer them fixing the performance first tbh. private tables sound nice but it woudt matter much if the game still lags every few hands when ur trying to run a home game style thing with the squad

This would definitely make the site more sticky for groups of friends. I could see setting up a regular weekly game with the same crew, which you can't really replicate with random lobbies.

Would be great for organizing a low stakes PLO night with my five friends without some stranger joining every ten minutes.

imagine the rake setup for a table nobody else can join though

Rake on private tables would probs be brutal anyway

Hosting a weekly Texas hold'em night with the same eight degens would finally be possible without random sharks crashing it.

I figure the main obstacle is how they'd fit it into the existing rake and cashier system without it feeling like a separate app.

Tried hosting a game on a diff site once and half the crew just watched the host misclick fold a full house

I can already picture our usual crew spamming six max NLH with some absurd blind levels at 2 AM. Bet half the group would still punt stacks within ten hands but at least randos wouldn't swipe the table away mid session.

Even a 10% rake sees steep for a kitchen table game.

I doubt they would want to deal with the extra support tickets from people fighting over home game ruilngs

honestly if they do add it, skip the rake and just let us set a time charge per seat or a flat buy in that includes it, simpler for everyone and less nitpicking about pot deductions after a big hand
