I’m throwing a surprise poker party for my mum, and I’m stuck on what I should do. I was thinking of buying some chips and whoever ends up with the most chips wins. Do anyone have have any good ideas?
That's a lucky mum!
Well, for starters, you are def. going to need to poker chips. From there, you can have a tournament. Which is what you described. They can differ in the amount of players that will win money, ie., 1st, 2nd, 3rd.
I always like to have light music in the background. As well as some refreshments. Remember, alcohol always changes the way people play poker. So, provide at your own risk…LOL!
A fun game of poker relies on a few things. Good company for one. Keeping the amount of money to buy-in at a reasonable price is good, too. And lastly, make sure you let everyone know the tournament details. Round time, re-buys, and chip values, for starters.
If you are having a couple of tables worth of poker, about 18-20 people, try not to give everyone too many chips to start with. About 2000 in chips, with 20 minute levels/ rounds is pretty decent.
Above all else, have fun and Good Luck!
***One last thing. When you have a final tally of players that have bought into the game, choose a chair at each poker table and make it number 1. Once you have done that, write on small pieces of paper the numbers of how many seats you have on each table. 9-10 seats. Fold the pieces of paper and place them in a cup, hat, or whatever you have available so the seating is random. That way, no one complains because they chose their seat!
Tournaments are ALWAY the best way to go as far as a party! This way its a set number for each person, and once one person is eliminated, then the game will be over quicker. Are you playing for money?
Snack and beer always make the party more INTERESTING
A tournament isn’t a bad idea however you need to be aware that the people who drop out will need to be entertained and you might end up with the poker table as the side action

Bear in mind that not everyone will know how to play poker. Maybe making sure there is a few people who know enough to teach the others.
Also how about decorating the room or veneu in certain colours . Pink would be my choice but I’m biased. Then get all the guests to dress in those colours or style .
