Re: Guys not showing both cards, flipping cards onto community cards.

Technically you have a right to see the winning hand and they should be showing both cards (and at a casino it would be mandatory) but you're in a friendly home game so your argument may not have a lot of sway with your fellow players. You should find out their motivation for playing before insisting on following all poker rules to the letter. Lots of home game players just want to hang out with their buds and drink, joke around, and gambool in that order.

Hi Rottersod,
It's my nature to be a stickler for rules in any kind of game. That's just the way I like to play games--I think adhering to the "official" structure of a game usually makes it better.
A friendly poker game is probably not the right venue to sweat the details though, and especially since I'm a newbie when it comes to playing live. I'll just lighten up and go with the flow. Maybe I'll mention something during the course of play without being insistant or making a big deal about it.
