Default Home game rule list redux... anything i blatantly need to add?

ULTYHAÜS POKRULZ

All floor decisions are made by the highest ranking official present. Adam is supreme chief floorman. Todd is almost-as-awesome floorman. Palmer is the phone-a-floorman. When sober, all floormen have the right to touch players chips in order to match or count a bet to speed action. If you desire, Adam, when sober, will deal for you-- he is the official house pimp/dealer.

The standard Ultyhaus games are .10/.25 No-limit Texas Hold'em with a minimum buy-in of $3 and a maximum buyin of $25. .25/.50 blind NLHE ($10 min, $50 max), .25/.5, .5/1, and 1/2 limit are available by request.

0. Pay attention!!! I realize that you may be drunk or otherwise distracted during the game, but unless you have a valid excuse. This rule applies to ACTING IN TURN as well as ACTING ON TIME. We will put a 30 second clock on you if you take an exorbitant amount of time to complete your action. Players are granted the privelidge of acting out of turn for bathroom breaks and favors.

1. No string bets. You cannot "call.. and raise" or return to your chips to raise after making a call without declaring raise. If you are preparing a bet, do so on the wooden racetrack. Once you place chips onto the felt, they are considered to be a live bet in the pot.
2. Placing an oversize chip into the pot is a call unless "raise" is stated verbally.
3. Two cards dealt faceup is a misdeal, one card is not (it is dead and will be the burn card).
4. Cash plays only with permission of the floor
5. High denomination chips (i.e. in a cash game all $1 chips and all t$500 chips in tourneys) must be visible to all players (at the front of your stack).
6. Cards speak. Don't get angry at anyone for pointing out that someone misread their cards and has, as a result, beaten you. You should do the same, even if it costs you the pot.
7. In a cash game, a player is not required to table his hand when all-in unless he is the last aggressor. Players must table their hands when allin in a tournament unless there is a side pot.
8. No slow-rolling (Nice hand.. [waits 10 hours] .. but mine beats it.
9. Place bets on the felt, not mixed into the rest of the pot.
10. A hand may not be retrieved from the muck even if mucked mistakenly by a player. If the dealer accidentally mucks the hand, floor will ask the player his exact hole cards and their approximate location in the muck.
11. Odd chips are broken to the smallest denomination. Any resulting odd chips are awarded to the player furthest from the button (i.e. small blind, then big blind, under the gun, etc).
12. TABLE TALK: When out of a hand, do not discuss the action until the hand is complete.
13. TABLE ABSENCES: Players confirmed to play but not present in a tournament will be blinded off away from the table until for the first hour of a tournament. After one hour, their chips are voided. Players otherwise absent from the table will be blinded off in a tournament. Players away from the table will be dealt in but may be immediately folded if it is apparent they are not returning to the table.
14. Unless returning from a table absence, you do not need to post to sit into a cash game, but may not sit in on the button or small blind. If returning from an absence during which you missed both blinds, you must post a live BB and dead SB to play.
15. NO RACES: When a denomination is no longer needed in tournament play, all players with excess chips of said denomination will have their odd chips rounded to the next denomination.
16. Standard Tournament Format: T5000 if a freezeout, T2500 if a rebuy tourney. T2500 Addon allowed at the end of the second round of levels in rebuy tourneys. Seats will be randomly assigned at the start of the tournament and during any table breaks. Tables will be balanced if any table has two players more than another. Tournaments are expected to last 4.5 hours on average (excluding breaks), so don't play unless you're willing to stay that late.
17. $1s, $5s, and $10s are preferred to $20s when buying in to either game. House credit must be repaid the following game or it will not be extended for that game. Markers are preferred.
18. It is poor ettiquette to make forward motions to fold, bet, or raise without doing so.
19. DO NOT AGGRESSIVELY ADVERTISE OUR GAME. WE DO NOT WANT A.L.E. AGENTS BUSTING OUR MICROLIMIT POKER GAME BECAUSE YOU WANT TO BRING TWENTY SEVEN FRIENDS TO PLAY. ALL TWO TABLE TOURNAMENTS WILL BE ANNOUNCED WITH A FEW DAYS NOTICE AND HOPEFULLY CLOSED FOR REGISTRATION WITHIN A DAY.
20. Do not cheat. We hope our respect is worth more than any amount you can take from the table at these limits.
