About the game and players

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

Right now I see four players. I know some of you have kids and think that they will remember you fondly taking them out for Halloween.  Once they turn 16 they will forget most of their early childhood only to remember in their 70’s. By that time you will have been walkum sky long time. So forget the little buggers and sign up for poker. As for the wife nagging you. I can honestly tell you sometimes you’re better without them.
