Extra rules for home games?
While cruising looking for the straight dope on Tom's Royal Flush/Straight Flush scandal I came upon Harrah's 2005 WSOP rules.
There are two rules here that interest me, and I'm curious if they're enforced at local poker rooms. In addition, would anyone else would like to see these enforced in the MTTs, I know I would.
[b:a9064f1155]21. Players must keep their highest denomination chips visible at all times.[/b:a9064f1155] Yeah I know it's cute to hide your big chips against the rail behind a massive wall of 25ers, but it doesn't seem ethical.
[b:a9064f1155]22. Players are obligated to protect the other players in the tournament at all times. Discussing cards discarded or hand possibilities is not allowed.[/b:a9064f1155]
This happens a lot, and most of the more seasoned players adhere to it, but yet they don't pipe up when the fish do it. Announcing it beforehand might save some frustration. |
