Hell, I wish we had a cop or two in our game. It'd be good security. And we do plenty of illegal stuff.

OP might be surprised. Many cops are pretty wild and into pot and booze when off duty. Needless to say, strippers and hookers are usually welcome as well.

This has been my experience also.

However, just like any other home game where you're new, lay low for a while until you know what's acceptable and what's not. Ask the host what to bring, if there's any entertainment, etc. Basically, treat this home game like any other home game.

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

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.)

I play in a game with an ATF agent, a couple of sherrifs, K-9 police officer, and a prosecutor. Game is very loose and crazy, but there is always a lot of money at the game and I never worry about someone coming to rob us, especially with the 2 big K-9's laying at our feet.
