comes with the territory
That sucks that happened - but when stuff like that happens to me in the home games i play in, i look at is as sort of a trade-off.
I get the benefit of playing against some weaker players - but then i have to accept that they dont understand how things like the 'donkeys' table talk, folding out of position, string bets, banging on the table when 5,5,K comes after they folded preflop, etc. effects the game. You just have to know that things like that are going to happen when you are playing a home game with no 'tournament director'. Still annoying though |

I agree, although I am the tournament director so to speak.
Who's blind is it? What's the blind? How much did he bet? Who's turn is it? What do you mean my pocket 3s don't play on a 88KKA board? The guys that play at my place are all about sharing hole cards (once someone folds). People will grab mucked cards and look back at them when the second deuce hits the turn, shit like that. I didn't cuss him out, but I was pretty shitty with him. I ended up apologizing a few minutes later cause I could tell he was a little embarassed and felt bad. Also, wanted him to feel welcome back.

You should politely address and explain each of these issues as they happen. My regular home game from about two years ago was a complete mess for the longest time. I would gradually make improvements in it week after week, and over time, it got pretty damn solid. IF you take the polite and "here's why" approach, people will understand and the game will change. Not only that, but in the future, they will look to you to make the tough decisions.
