Home game 5CD

[Invigilator]

I am still hosting my home game league. Last night we had our annual NL 5 card draw event. 2 hands stood out, both of which involved breaches of etiquette. NOTE: we drink a fair bit in this game

Hand #1:

3 handed with me, OW and a very competitive friend of mine who most people end up rooting against.

Being late in the game he open shoved with a pair. OW called, started laughing and said "sorry, I got dealt this. Draw whatever you want" and turn over a straight flush. I know etiquette was breached here, but it was pretty funny.

Hand #2:

Early on and getting a cheap draw with TT, I hit quads and our regular crazy lady raised me all in. I called, she slammed down her cards and yelled FULL HOUSE (Aces full). I could not pass up the chance to deliver the immortal line: "I have 2 pair. A pair of tens, and another pair of tens"

That's awesome! Breach of etiquette? Sure. But this is a friendly home game. Worst case scenario is someone gets a cock-punch. One of my first home games had the resident donkey deliver the two-pair line - except he had NO clue that he had quads. (As an aside - he's greatly improved since that fateful night to the point where he won the league last year. But a lot of that was still luck.)

Good stuff

That might be where I heard the line.
