THE WORLD'S #1 POKER MANUAL - Card Games

Poker Book, Games
The best time for telephoning players is late in the afternoon before the game. This is early enough so
everyone can plan for the game and late enough so those available will seldom have a subsequent excuse
for not playing. The good player then knows who his opponents will be for that evening.
An important and convenient tool is a photocopied form (as shown in Table 28) that lists the players'
names and telephone numbers along with a column for their responses. By filling out those forms (as
shown in Table 29) and periodically reviewing them, the good player obtains valuable information about
the--
● health of the game
● attendance patterns
● character of his opponents and their motives for playing
● losers with declining attendance records who may need special treatment to bring them back as
regular players
● ways to keep the game organized and players interested.
