I'm sure a number of you have read my rant about my rough game Saturday night. If not, here's the link:
https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/poker-nights-should-be-more-fun-a-rant.31096/
I've been thinking about it a lot since then, and in addition to having clear rules about the game, I'd like to have a short list available to establish a culture for our group. Things like betting protocol, one-player-to-a-hand, not insulting others, follow the rules or leave, etc. I'd like it to be fun, but clear.
A couple of my players who didn't like the way things went Saturday tell me I shouldn't become a stickler, but not being a stickler is exactly why things went downhill. When the rules aren't clear, and can get changed to benefit one or two players, the game can't be fun.
What would be on your list? Or do you already have such a list?
