I’ve played a lot of poker, both socially and in cardrooms. I would probably not join a game that needs legible commitment mechanisms. If it’s not sufficiently high-value to succeed on it’s own, I probably have better things to do most of the time.
Mostly my recommendation is to find/create games that people like enough and feel safe enough to tell each other their expected attendance. Also, get good at short-handed play—it’s useful if a few people drop out, but even more useful to be able to play while some people are still en-route.
