I picture forming a poker group like this: I think the way to form a group would be best a combination of a home game and those same players going to clubs together. Maybe not playing against each other at the clubs, but maybe a few at this table a few there and two-three at that table etc...
Then at the home games, they would be more social and most of the talk would be about each other's play and the play of those at the club (or casino). And particular reads on a player's style, moves that work against one player but not another and why... I don't think you're going to get a bunch of people to sit around and talk poker, but if you had an informal / social home game going on, broken up with group trips to clubs and casinos, it's likely that the majority of the table talk will be poker related, especially if you start the home game with the intention of making it for talking about play.
Damn, I wish I lived in NYC, I would be the second charter member!
