Default Re: Home Players & Hosts Peeves

I play in a home game among friends, and guests of friends, so it's pretty casual and I'm not a nit, but here are a few of my gripes.
[*]Blinds do not go up at pre-specified intervals
[*]Raises and re-raises are allowed in big-blind increments - I'm used to a raise being a min. of double the bet. We play nlhe tourneys, and it astounds me when I make a pot sized bet and someone raises me 1 big blind. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] We have a mix of n00bs and solid players, and it's always the inexperienced players doing this, but I always wonder what they're trying to accomplish.
[*]Table captain scolding other players - We all pretty much get along very well in spite of the alcohol consumption, but every once in a while someone will get harsh with one of the new guests about a rule. I'm all for understanding and adhering to the rules, but there's no need to get obnoxious about it, especially with a new player.
[*] Someone not in the hand calling out possible made/drawing hands post flop. - They're told to keep quiet, but inevitably it still happens every once in a while.

I'm sure there's more, but that's all I can think of at the moment.
