I am that guy.  My home game is the slowest ever, and everyone tries to pull shit like showing only one card or they forget to post their blinds, etc.Its a habit I got into.  Im not proud of it, but Im being honest.

totally with you. I play with total amatuers. I have become the poker naz1. correcting them, asking them not to react to the flop after they folded.I don't know why though, I'm the only one paying attention to that stuff. Everyone else in my game is either super tight or huge donkeys. Scary stuff. I angled a little on Sunday to see where I was at. I started counting out my chips when I was first to act to get my opponents reaction on the river because I fired on the flop and turn and he called both times. He reached for his chips, I checked, he bet, I folded. He flipped over trips. I felt bad for it so I told him what he did. Friendly game. All cops and me.

That was it!  I told him I'll show my other card when I'm censored good and ready, and until he's on the payroll and wearing a censored bowtie, he needs to shut his censored mouth before I stuff it with all of the chips I took from him.

Something tells me you dreamed up this comeback 20 minutes later on the way to your Hyundai.

I'm the same but no-one seems to mind when I do it. I think its different amoung friends. It also depends a lot on how you say and do it that can piss people off.

At my home game I always end up doing the same thing, but its mostly explaning what a string bet is, and telling them that they cant reraise $5 more after a raise 0f $20 or that they cant bet $1 on the flop when the blinds are 3/6.I get alot of nasty comments from the less experienced players at the table.
