Poker night was started in the early 90’s by 10 founding members as a fun, social event. Since then new players have joined and improved the quality of the “game”. We all want the same thing, a fair, competitive, quality game. However I think the “fun, social” part is declining. Some of the jokes and jabs are getting a little uncomfortable, I include myself. The same way we need structure with game rules, we also need structure with social rules.
*Be more respectful —- (wives, kids, religion, race, colour,) should be off limits.
*Try to communicate —- (In or Out, if you are going to be late, give a time)
*Maybe no electronics? —- (creates distractions and slows play) hey you might even have talk to each other
*Try to help with the moving of chips and cards.
*Be nice to new players (instead of taking offence to these suggestions maybe just agree)
