Re: When do house rules override fairness?
You were correct. If this has never been an issue before but NOW the host calls the old, "I have a house rule stating you must call your hand." It's bullshit. You know it's bullshit, I know it's bullshit, the host knows it's bullshit. He was shooting an angle.
If this guy wants a non-standard rule like "call your hand", he really needs to post it ahead of time. I don't mind the "verbal posting" but each player needs to know about it BEFOREHAND. A pre-tourney announcement should take care of it.
Angle. Sucks he tried to pull it against a newbie.
