Home game insanity

Regular game at my house.

Two players in the hand.
After the flop> Player A bets most of his chips and player B pushes. Another player who is not in the hand yells at them to hurry up (he thinks the other player A has called) and opens player Bs hand. We all yell at him in mid motion but it was too late. Player A now sees that B has him beat, but with such few chips left calling is a no brainer with 2 cards left to see.

We are all friends at this game and had relaxed on the rules slightly but after this game we went back to strict poke rules.

"Without rules there is chaos" as we found out.

Is there an official rule with something like this? Other than when a guy kept farting up the place I had never given out time penalties before..

  • Personally, I would assure the guy who flipped the other players cards over that if he ever touched my cards while they were in play he'd be pulling back a stump.

    But I'm prone to rage outbursts sometimes.
  • There are four things of mine you can "touch" that will get you hurt:

    My wife
    My daughter
    My cards
    My chips

    Why is etiquette so hard for people to figure out?

    He said he'd charge me cash to play with his bag of nuts. Apparently there is some miscommunication here...
  • Wow. Guy is total jerk for being unable to wait. Also, how can you be so unaware of play. If everyone was seriously all-in, the cards would be flipped over in no time. If it was really not much back left to call, then I'd tell player to pay the extra he had back or leave and be banned from the game.
  • Robert's Rules of Poker, or the TDA Rules are your bets source.

    If this was a cash game, there is no requirement to reveal your cards unlees you want to claim the pot, or you are player who was "called".
  • There is no problem with having a relaxed poker game with friends, couple of beers and whatnot.

    But when stuff like this happens, its best to make sure everyone understand the basics of things like not touching another persons hand, otherwise things like this happen.

    Similar things have happened in my home games. I find its best at the beginning of these to just let everyone know the general do's and don'ts. Depends on your group though. If you're like me where three of nine people are there to play, with the remainder just there to drink it's best to run these through.
