Default playing with cops

i got invited to a regular home game ( .50-$1 nl ) that is mostly undercover cops with some uniform guys too. never played with cops before. should i bring a box of doughnuts?

Be as normal as possible. Cops don't really like free thinkers.

Unless you have a specific reason to make dumb statements, and are willing to post said reasons.... don't make dumb statements.

I was uninvited from a home game for "attitude/demeanor". I thought for a time it was a class war thing (long story short - I'm from a college town. this was one of Dallas' more affluent suburbs), but played in another tourney in roughly the same area and those guys didn't have a problem with me. A bit younger and relatively "hipper" (more the fratboy type).

Then again, it's Texas, free thinking is generally not a desirable trait amongst certain groups anyway...

I'm quite happy with my home game now. Fun people and we all like each other to some degree. A little bit in-jokey, but new people are welcome if they can hang with a bit of the ballbusting. Well, and the occasional "You [censored]!" when they river me. (I was not doing this at that game.)

Delete this thread and start over. Be more clear about what you're aiming for. Proofread.... or define "risk afined"

Looks like we've got a road game sarge

Eh, cops are normal people. A friend of mine is a CHP and he couldn't make a game, but he came by to fake a raid while on break. Shoulda seen the look on a couple of dope smoker's faces. Like I said, normal people. Another regular player is a sherrif. He knows about the funny smell, but we respect his job etc, so we go out back, but it is obvious what is happening.
