Sticky Home Game Means New Rule?

[LetsRock]

I would do everything I could to discourage any hand speculations while the hand is in progress. After the hand is over, everyone can chat it up and I agree, that is fun in the right environment. But while the hand is in progress it is very poor taste and ettiquette to be talking about what could or might be happening right now. This can all be helped by not showing cards to anyone; you could go to the extreme of DQing anyone who shows his cards while the hand is in progress if that's what it takes.

Here's an example of where you can use this to your advantage....

A few days ago, I was in a game with J-Q and the flop came 10-9-3. I bet and the other guy calls.

Turn: 8 I bet, he calls.

River: 7

It's at this point somebody (not in the game) says, "Well, whoever's got the Jack has the nuts."

I bet... the other guy raises all-in and I call. He turns over A-J, thinking he has the nuts. Let's just say, he was a little embarassed when I flip the "true" nuts. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Sometimes it works out for you.
