Bachelor Party

[stone_7]

I am getting married soon and would like to go to atlantic city with my friends who are novices at poker. I would like nothing more than to play some poker while we are there. I see 2 basic problems here.

The first is that my friends are not good poker players and would be playing limits way over their comfort level at AC. Some currently play .5/1 on party but not often and not well. I don't want to take everyone on a trip that costs them a bunch of money.

The second seems like a bigger problem which is that even with a group of people who are comfortable playing poker we will essentially be paying upwards of $100 to play poker with each other with little or no chance of making money off of other players. I can think of a lot of other things that cost $100/hour that would be more fun. Hell we could probably hire a dealer and a stripper for $300.

Should I just suck it up and play Black Jack with everyone at the table or does someone have a better solution?
