Default Re: Dumbest home game rule ever?

I played a Home Game with no side pots. If you were all-in for your last 100 when the blinds were 1,000-2,000 you could win the full pot of 3,100. You could also win any additional betting the other players made.

Needless to say I only played once.

Dumbest. Rule. EVAR.

I'll be honest, I don't know which rule is worse.

6 Hands Heads up.
Ability to win full pot if you have 1 small denom chip left.

That is...tough...
I feel like an idiot for griping about some of the home game rules I've ran into...

Aw, come on. Side pots are just too hard to figure out.

I played in a limit game where you had to "bet the raise". Every hand starts out as a $0.25-$2 bet. If you raise, that raises the lower limit of the spread, until you got above $2, at which point it's fixed limit.

As an example. I raise preflop to $1 and get 4 callers. I bet $1 on the flop and there's a raise to $3. Now my options are to call $3 or raise to $6. If I raise and get called, I can only check or bet $6 on the next round.

Here's the kicker: you could not check-raise or sandbag (call then raise on the same round).
