Are there any "general" etiquette rules here?

For instance, establishing prop rules/values close to occurrences, what happens if someone shows but makes a mistake in announcing the props values, etc. (props)

For props/sidebets, is it OK to talk about amounts one off particular people or details/odds given without their consent? Surely it's OK to say "hey, I won $300 last night in props" but maybe not: "I killed Todd for $100,000 in props and sidebets last night?" unless he's been open about it as well?

I can see how if there's a particular player/pro who likes to rely on staking for big games and tourneys, and you announce that yesterday, you took $100,000 off him playing HU in your basement, took another $20,000 off him winning props in the big game later that night and won $30,000 from him on FSU-Miami, he may have more trouble getting staked when somebody knows he blew $150,000 in a day.
Fortune favors the brave.
