Message: [QUOTE="maltz, post: 639345, member: 26654"] Actually I don't like people acting like they are the judges in small buy-in home games. People are looking forward to a fun night with $5 and they can express their shocks and tell their jokes freely. Trust me, just like donkey plays, most of the times they actually help you. For example: 1. Flop comes high monochrone and everybody AHHH. You know they are scared. 2. Flop comes 33X and one guy suddenly SH*T. You know he folded a 3 PF. Or the flop came 468 and he folded 57, things like that. 3. When people chat and laugh in the game, they loose up and play like an idiot to chase unlikely draws to sustain the atmosphere. If it is correct that your opponent has the correct pot odds to call, you are not betting enough. It is partly yourself to blame. Remember that since you bluff less than half of the time, most of the call encouragement actually help you. [/QUOTE]
