home game penalty for cussing - what to do?
Just looking for help with a fair way to penalize people in home tourneys.
History: I take issue with the use of G.D. This is well know among my friends. Most of them try to avoid using it but it slips, I understand. I don't blow up or get all pissed about a few slips. However, one individual in particular seems to try to use it as much as he can or push the envelope as hard as he can - just to be an ass. It doesn't mess my game up but it bothers me that someone (an adult) would act like this....thus: I am thinking of enaacting a no cussing rule in our home tourneys (yeah, I know, you don't have to say it). This way seems fairer. All cuss words are banned - which effets me. My question: What is the best way to penalize for this? 1st a warning then: sit out a certain amount of time, take a certain number of chips from them and put it in the next pot, or other? If time, how long? If chips, how many? X# of BBs?

Help here is appreciated, not smart-assed comments so you can build you post count.

If you're a religious person its not too much to ask your guests to take reasonable measures to not offend your religious sensibilities. To the OP, a cursing penalty sounds like a great way to kill your home game. If you have a problem with the actions of one guy just don't invite him back. It sounds like the rest of them are doing what they can to comply already. Penalizing them on top of it will have them looking for another game.

[/ QUOTE ] yeah...most of the guys are considerate...it's a small game, too, so I have a hard time with banning anyone. I don't want to make it a penalty for just daying G.D. because that didn't seem fair. I will probably end up just telling the one guy if he can't watch himself then not to worry about coming back. He was trying to be an ass and I'm not sure why...they know I don't tilt easy, especially for $5. I make more playing on-line but enjoy playing poker with my friends. He isn't making it very much fun for me.

I am the one who always has the tourney at my place! I never said I had a problem with cussing, ass hat! I said I had a problem with G.D. Does anyone actually read post or just post to try to bump their post count? I said that I was, get ready, here it comes, thinking about a no cussing rule. I wanted to see what some fair penalties would be. I don't have a problem with cussing. I just thought it was the fairest way to deal with it. I also don't let them smoke weed on my balcony anymore....guess I need to grow up!

[/ QUOTE ] Maybe they are cussing cuz they can't get high and calm down. Implement a mandatory smoke session pregame and take care of the issues. Personally though, I have always stuck by the mantra "If you don't like it don't listen". What if you showed up at a game and were required to say "God Damn" every time someone beat you at a pot?

[/ QUOTE ] For someone that is against cursing I find it strange that your reply to someone that doesn't agree with you is “just freaking vote! smart-ass” So let me understand your rules. No swearing but saying things like GD, Freaking, “HE (double hockey sticks)”, shoot, mother pucker, etc. Would be OK? Are you running a poker game or a kindergarten? I think an appropriate penalty for anyone that swears would be to make them hang out with you for a couple of days. Doesn’t anyone else have chips and a poker table where you live?
