Lighting is terrible, looks much darker than they all are.
 
Phone allowed while in a hand?

Form a cabal and share your hands via group text. Knowing 6-8 cards every hand would be awesome - and apparently legal!

Next game, 5 card Omaha! You'd have knowledge of close to half the deck!

I think your overestimating my GFs magical cheating skills. we've had a game for 18 years... It's not perfect, but we have a good time either way. But hey, maybe she's going for the long con and next week her plan is going to come into effect....

Mostly I was pointing out how outstandingly easy it is to get players to put their phones down. Tell them why it's a rule, and they do it without question.

No. In this case, they don't. We have a twenty dollar game with friends to watch football. This isn't the Bellagio. It's been a topic but if it's we cancel our game over something as simple as someone playing Scrabble on there phone, well, no one wins. Action happens, we don't slow down, and we have a good time.

Not everything is worth a battle....

I'm now worried my GFs plan will drop next week and the 4k she lost over ten years is going to come back and haunt me when she wins first place next week for 120 bucks.

And she might not pay me back for the 20 dollar rebuy she had last night. SHIT....
 
Just because your girlfriend isn't taking advantage isn't the real issue. If I were a guest and got cleaned out, it would be a thought, and I probably would not return.

I also have not returned to games that regularly allow...
  • rabbit hunting
  • players to discuss their hands
  • string betting
  • tournaments using dice chips
  • self dealt games where players to choose not to cut the deck
So the cell phone thing - it would be one more way that I could see people I didn't know very well possibly cheating me. Money, even $20, is something that someone out there would try to steal.

You can allow it if you like, but before you get defensive, be aware you are on the opposite side of the rules.

Then again, I can go 2 minutes without being on my phone, and I would never be as rude as to ignore the table to play a phone game. I guess I'm just don't have the Millennial mindset.

What if it's a dealer's choice cash game and someone calls nlhe. I need angry birds to entertain me until the orbit is over :)
