Home Game Hints, Part 2: Do’s and Dont’s for Getting Invited Back 7 Min read As we discussed previously, playing in a home game is a very different experience from playing in a public poker room. We get spoiled in public rooms, where every non-abusive player is welcome. There are staff people to keep the game moving, keep the seats filled, deal the cards, explain the rules, provide security, and eject abusive players. Those who run home games have to do all of these things themselves. Accordingly, they may be more selective about who they let in. As a result, players looking to stay in a game must be more mindful of how they behave to make sure they make the cut.
