rivermenow 0 Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 You guys are a creative bunch...can you give me something I can do to solve this problem?Ok, so last time I played a home game with my friends from college, one of the players (we'll call him player A) took issue with another players' (player B) preflop raising - especially when it was in player A's blind. He got very vocal and mad whenever his blind was raised. Can you guys give me some tactful ways to tell player A that raising is part of the game, and to read some books to handle it in a game situation? Or, do you think I shouldn't be tactful and tell him to grow a sac and place some balls in it?Like I said, you guys are a creative bunch Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites

capthowdy981 0 Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Thats tough. Try putting the money into a pot, so maybe he will no longer see it as his, as opposed to the pots? Link to post Share on other sites
