Default Re: Home game rules - slight rant

[ QUOTE ]
Actually I think the online boom has led people to expect that there are 'standards' to the game, which was rarely the case before.

Ten years ago and I could often wonder if I was playing the same game if I compared different homegames.

That's how the different versions of the game came to be also, without these variations we probably wouldn't have the poker games we love today.

I was thinking that online poker has the opposite effect. Online it is impossible to break any rules and there is never a dealer error so there is no need to know anything. Nobody can make a mistake. Transfer these players to a live game and problems start happening.
