Re: too tight for home game??
What's the blind structure?
To me, that's the most important question in any home tournament -- right up there with overall quality of play. If the blinds start small and go up gradually, there's plenty of time to play tight/aggressive and do just fine. But if the blinds get steep in a hurry, you've probably got to make something work big-time in the first 20 hands -- or find yourself playing push-or-fold.
If there are chatty players or clumsy shufflers, it's amazing how few hands you may play at each blind level. Try to nudge people to stretch out the time between blind increases so that skill and hand selection makes a difference. If not, ask yourself whether it's worth playing in a luckfest.
