Re: Two Questions about Home Game Ettiquette (long)
We've always follow the rule of 'show one show all' as 'show one person PLAYING show all.' Quite often the ones of us who care a lot about poker have treated looking at mucked cards as their 'tip.' If that makes any sense. Not so much to learn how specific people play to take advantage of them, as much as to learn more about poker. How to effectively play certain hands in certain spots, or NOT to play, etc...Learning from each other.
Surprised to hear disagreement on the issue really. I really thought it was 'show one player show them all' not 'show ANY person NOT in the tourney show them all.'
Probably in the future the dealers just won't look while hes playing to avoid any conflict.
As for the smoking issue - someone brought up allowing it in place of taking breaks. I kinda like where you went with that. I've been thinking of initiaiting breaks into the tourneys anyways.
You guys have breaks in your home games? Every 2 blind levels? 3? I've always been nervous about the breaks getting out of control and taking too long.
