Wacky Home Game Rules?

[ICMoney]

I heard two rules (different games) that left me scratching my head.

One was the "no check-raise" rule. I guess this is like slapping their mom in the face.

There other was really strange.
Once per night a player can raise himself.

For example, I bet in the SB on the flop and get a few callers, button calls but doesn't close the action. I have the option to raise myself to any amount.


Any other happenings that make you go, "Hmmm?"
