This is really lame. Seems like a bunch of home games just want to play to see the flop, and set up their rules accordingly. I woudln't even bother with this game, and tell them why you think so (obviously don't say stuff like proper pot-odds preflop, and no benefits to position). It appears that they understand what gives players an edge, and are seeking to destroy it in every way possible.

Tell them to get out of the kiddie pool.

Thanks guys. I thought the game was really effed up, but the guys in it made me feel dumb, like of course this is the way its done, that other stuff is just for casino play cause its set up for the benefit of the casinos. And I just haven't played any non-tourney home games so I had no idea, other than I didn't like their rules much.

It's not cut and dry though, people always refer to things as a "serious game" or a "Social game", but it's not like that, there are various degrees of social games.

I play in a lot of home games, some follow very strict rules and play tournaments, and others we play dealers choice games and just cut up, but they are all social games.

In the dealer choice games, we ante every game, because some games are ante games, some are blind games, but it's not fair to the players if you post blinds when the guy to your right picks a blind game, and then have to post again when someone else picks an ante game. If you dont' enjoy that style of play, thats just not a game for you, I wouldn't try to change the way the play.

yeah, good advice, I'm not going to try and change em, they seem pretty set in their ways of doing things. Its just too bad since this would be a weekly game. I'm not willing to drop a hundred or two a week in a game I don't like and am probably the fish in.
