Tell your friend not to come back to my house.

Re: Dumbest home game rule ever?
 

I played at a friends house who had a no check-raising rule. I know.. I know...many people have this rule as they feel C/R'ing is of poor taste. Meh, whatever. I told him that his game was not my cup of tea since the C/R is a valuable tool. A few weeks later, he came to me and said that some others didn't like it as well, so they changed it.

Me : "cool, you allow C/R'ing now.. count me in."
Him : "Well, we allow it in certain situations"
Me : [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
Him : "you can C/R as long as you don't have a flush or better"
Me : [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] "Um... yeah... never mind, I think I have to wash my hair or something"

At one home game, we played normal until heads-up.
Then we would shoot darts...whoever got to 201 first
won the tourney. Air hockey was used to break ties.

This is a pretty dumb rule. You better be the chip leader when you get HU

Okay, so we all know some uninformed people play by some pretty dumb rules, but have you ever heard one this bad? My buddy played at his neighbor's house this weekend, and there were a lot of asinine rules he told me, but this was the worst: when it gets to heads-up, they play 6 hands, and the person with the most chips after 6 hands wins. So basically if you have a big enough stack, you can just fold 6 times and win.

Do I get bonus points if one of the casinos I play at actually has this as a rule for tournaments once they get down to 4 players?

I was at a game and one of the guys running it was still in the game. There where 12 players left on 2 tables and the final table was going to be 10 players. 1 of the players on his table busted out and he said that the final 5 on his can stop playing and wait for one of the players on the other table to bust out. His reasoning was the blinds come to fast at 5 players.

I've played a NL home cash game where, if you have chips in front of you, you have to declare that you're leaving a half-hour in advance.

It's not as dumb as no side pots, but it's still pretty dumb.

Re: Dumbest home game rule ever?
 

I heard of some people that play if theres a four card straight or flush on the board - that you're not allowed to use only one hole card to complete the hand. Its like mixing Omaha in a four card straight/flush situation with Hold 'em....

Also... I've seen heads up chip leaders offer their opponent the victory if they strip. (when chip leader is a guy and opponent is female.)

This isn't even dumb if you play with a bunch of asses who win one big pot and then leave. I don't see where this is a bad thing at all.
