We all have to recognize that this is not a casino but a bunch of guys hanging out to have some fun and maybe win some money. We should not be bullying, commenting on others play, not passing card, on their phone while in the hand, trying to be loud, making fun of a play. (There is a difference between making fun and commenting on a beat). If a player(s) comment on another players aggressiveness or another players manor at the table that player has to recognize that others are annoyed at their play. By no means should we all be stoic and just sit quietly but at the same time we are not a bunch of five year olds at a birthday party. If you’re not in the hand watch don’t give your opinion while the hand is in play. Opinion would be I would not have played that. Not why would you play that? We have a good thing going here. Most of us have broken the common curtsey rule. We’re all adults so if someone says you’re bothering them then stop and think before you continue. So please be respectful of others and if you feel disrespected say something. – Evan

Not sure who wrote the above but thank you. Personally I’ve always enjoy the camaraderie, the evolution of the game and even the colourful characters that have come and gone. Breaking balls and joking around has always been part of our night but when it goes too far, its on all of us to police it. Just be respectful. Al
Very simple.
Dealer takes control of the deal.
He controls the action and the pace and distractive talk. Is some one gets abusive to the dealer you get penalized for a whole blind.
If the said dealer is sitting at the end of the table, get off you butt and stand so you can get the cards further down the table.
If your not in the hand your cards are a mondatory muck.
You have a maximum of one minute to make a decision on a call.
How can this game have the same conversation and discussion every few months.
More importantly IMO this game is running an average of an hour past where it did before the no time limit on rebuys.
Fix this fucking website so it shows who is posting.
