Re: Dealers mouth!
you should tell the dealer he can't comment on a hand like that as it can affect someone's decision and then let it go. obviously if this was a raked/casino game you'd expect much better.
everyone saying you shouldn't make the move is 100% wrong, however. thsi isn't shooting an ang;le at all. it's not like you purposefully miscalled your hand. you just bet. |

I think we're just a Mars/Jupiter difference on what a home game is. Before I address your comments, this is lifted from my current partial house rules draft: 'GENERAL RULES OF CONDUCT DPC MISSION STATEMENT All of the specific rules and examples that are detailed below are written as part of a more general, overall principle for the conduct of members of this private home game. This general principle is as follows: The primary goal of this private group is to establish and maintain a regular and “friendly” venue in which the invitees may play various card games. While the play of any card game, but especially poker, is expected to be competitive and individually-focused, a general concept of decorum and consideration is an overriding goal of this private game. The spirit of this general principle is paramount; all decisions and rulings made will be made with this primary goal in mind, even if those decisions would contradict a specific rule detailed below. In short, our goal is to play serious poker without being overly serious about it- an enjoyable experience is a primary feature of the evenings that we share. Your contributions to the group as a whole are an expected standard of playing- it is not just about you playing poker for your own gains." We play seriously and generally by-the-casino-rules, but there's more to it than that IMHO. [ QUOTE ] How is saying, "Give me the deck, we don't need your kind of help. If you do that again I'll kick your ass." going overboard? [/ QUOTE ] If you actually believe what you just wrote, either you don't get many new players or the sign above your door must say "Play or Die!" [ QUOTE ] I disagree with people saying, "Take it easy on the poor fish." I would be embarrased if someone did that to me. [/ QUOTE ] Maybe not "take it easy" but "help them learn and adjust"? |
