| Re: How to deal with etiquette at home games i feel your pain. don't be afraid to tell them to head to a casino and see if their shenanigans would fly there. or pull out a copy of robert's rules and tell them by entering your house they agree to play by these rules. it's damn frustrating, i know.
some people just honestly don't know they're doing anything wrong. calmly explaining a) what they did wrong, b) why it was wrong, and c) what they can do to correct the problem helps a great deal. "oh, i didn't know that was wrong" or "thanks for explaining that to me" are responses i've gotten when explaining string betting, splashing the pot, etc.
good luck.
