Do\'s and Dont\'s to make a good game
List some things you can do and things you shouldnt do to keep a game running smoothly and all players content and happy. Lately many of the games I've been playing in are turning sour and I'm not sure I find a table full of disgusted people on tilt all that profitable or enjoyable.
Do tell you opponent "Nice hand" with respect when he beats your hand. Dont tell your opponent "You had only 2 outs to beat me," when he catches that miracle. Please add to my list. -J

Re: Do\'s and Dont\'s to make a good game
I'm not sure it's possible to keep things running smoothly AND have everyone content and happy.
Well, it might be possible if you consistently lose lots of money to everyone equally, but... I think you'd like to keep the game moving and keep folks civil. One route is be the Hitler at the table and aggressively keep the action going and tamp out any smoldering disagreements quickly. Not easy, but if you can bully the crowd along into playing, and not get people too personally mad at you, you've made progress. Don't allow "hot button" issues to discussed at the table. This might be politics, sports, religion, whatever.

Re: Do\'s and Dont\'s to make a good game
Why are these games turning sour? Is it because of rules disputes or suckouts? Are there players who feel they have the right to win every %80 all-in? or even worse every %55 all-in? Are there any angle-shooters?

Re: Do\'s and Dont\'s to make a good game
i really don't think it make a difference if you berate a fish or not. If you berate them they'll just get angry and want to prove to you once again how good they are. likewise, i guess the same is accomplished by giving compliments, either way, im just not sure being overly nice to fish makes a difference.
