Seats Open for Hellmuth’s Home Game
Looking to keep things fresh and interesting, BetRivers Poker decided to give its players a chance to express their interest in being part of future episodes of Hellmuth’s Home Game.
To get on the waiting list, you need to send a message to “hcorvese” on Discord, letting him know you’re interested, at which point you’ll get more details. What’s really important is that, should you go for this opportunity, you need to be able to jump in on short notice.
For the players who get selected and are able to play, BetRivers Poker will cover travel, food, and accommodation costs. The game in question is $25/$50/$50, with a minimum buy-in of $5,000 and no maximum cap. The buy-in is not included in this offer, so you’ll need to decide how much of your bankroll you’re willing and able to risk.
Everyone with a BetRivers Poker account is welcome to reach out and put their name forward. Volunteering doesn’t guarantee that you’ll get a seat, but players with a higher iRush level will be prioritized.
If this opportunity appeals to you, there is really no downside to reaching out and putting yourself up for consideration. That said, do make sure you’re in a position where you’d be able to free up your schedule and travel to Reno on short notice if you get picked, since there is no doubt there’ll be plenty of interest and more than a few players ready and waiting to take your spot.
Great Environment for Less Experienced Players
Hellmuth’s Home Game has garnered a lot of popularity since its launch a few months back. The show features an interesting format that has no official commentary and focuses entirely on the players. This gives it a proper home game vibe that producers were going for, as viewers can enjoy all the table talk without any interruptions.
In addition to Phil Hellmuth, the game features a mix of experienced pros like Dan ‘Jungleman’ Cates and Xuan Liu and enthusiastic amateurs like Randy “3Coin” Sadler. This balance helps create a lot of action on the felt as well as plenty of quality banter and funny situations that keep the game entertaining.
All these elements make Hellmuth’s Home Game a welcoming environment even for those who don’t have much (or any) experience playing on poker streams. For most of these players, $25/$50 isn’t particularly high stakes, which means they want to have fun and strive to create a pleasant environment.
It’s safe to assume that the waitlist is filling up quickly, so if you’d like to have a shot, you should get your name on it sooner rather than later. This might be your one chance to finally put a bad beat on Hellmuth and have a poker story that will last you a lifetime.
