Suggestions on dealing with the Home Game Jerk
 

A friend writes to me:

"In the other game I play in, one of the players (who is generally a good guy) has been exhibiting some poor card etiquette.
Me and a couple other guys are tired of his crap, and intend to focus next time less on winning ourselves, but more on wiping him out. I'm thinking of fun ways to do it, including calling pass the trash repeatedly and deliberately giving him bad cards every time, and quartering him every time he has a low split going.

Any good ideas? All insidious suggestions are appreciated, short of cheating."

Any suggestions out there? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

How 'bout saying to the guy " You've been acting like an [censored], cut it out."

Those type of plans never work. Either don't invite him or play your best and if he is worse than you then he will lose eventually.

If you cheat him, you are acting below his level.

Tell him to knock it off, or he won't be invited anymore. Simple as that.

Why do people keep playing with people they don't like in home ganes? Home games are supposed to be fun.

Tell him to correct his poor ettiquette, stop inviting him or don't play if you don't control the guest list.

Plotting to get him is cheating.

Because sometimes people that are good guys to hang with normally are complete assholes while playing cards.
