Default Re: Ethics andgood poker table manners

It's a home game. Most stuff like that can slide however, if you want it to stop, ask him politely after or before the next game begins to stop what he's doing.

If it continues, give him a major dose of his own medicine. And let him know you'll be doing this so that all the other players will fold to his bets on the river, saving them lots over the course of a night and costing him lots over the course of the night. Count out the pots very slowly and openly do the math for percentage calls. Start showing all hands that are folded not just the ones he wants to see, this will get others on the train to hell also.

It really is and can be a pain when someone continually does these things. Careful though, some home games are destin to become lost to people like this.
