Home game rules question

Whatever he got, he deserved it. That rule is BS. I've never heard of such an obvious angle! Even if this rule saw some legitimate use in SOME situations (and I know of NONE), its potential for abuse (especially heads-up) would lead any reasonable person to strike it from their home game.

I honestly think that the host was just doing his best to take advantage of the n00b's lack of knowledge of the rules. He saw an opportunity to fleece a new player and took it. That's why I feel his black eye was well deserved.
