New Rules for our Home Game!!! Effective now.

After last nights game we need to address a major issue plaguing our weekly game. We have all been playing together for several years now which has led to some loose lips at the table and random chirps when not in the hand. For the sake of our game and what's at stake, we will have a few new rules regarding table talk.

1) There is to be no "Table Talk" by any player not in the hand.
2) If there are 3 or more players in a pot, there will be no table talk about the hand in progress by anyone at the table.
3) Heads up, only the players in the hand can discuss the action.
4) There will be no exposed hands, unless heads up.
5) No reaching for folded hands to show your buddy what you "would have flopped", no more comments about what you "would have flopped" period.
6) No more offering your opinion about a player's hand and what he could possibly have if your not in the hand.

These Rules will be enforced and the penalties are as follows: The penalty will be whatever the big blind is at the time of the infraction. Those chips will be taken out of play. If it so happens that someone is blatantly disregarding our rules he will be dismissed from that nights game, we all need to be accountable. We are trying to make our game as fair and competitive as possible. Lets all do our part in making it happen. We all take this a little more serious than your average home game, so its not too much to ask. See ya next week.
