Re: When do house rules override fairness?
Many people who play in home games want to make declare your hand the rule. It is not unheard of. I think it is a macho thing that if your too dumb or drunk to call your hand right you deserve to lose.
However, most home game involve drinking... and the more you drink the more mistaked in calling hands are made.
Personally, the cards speak should be the rule. I hate sitting back and seeing people lose when they have the winning hand.
