Thanks for the reply.
This is a semi-friendly home game; not raked. We still enforce all rules of play like a casino would, but we self deal the cards and don't get too upset about order of cards (ie - should two people's cards become intertwined during the deal due to poor dealer aim, they'll just grab the four closest cards to them and be fine with it).
Are you suggesting that I should "go along to get along" here? Should I have to show all four cards to beat my opponents two cards? Seems like my opponent is using this opportunity time and time again to force their opponent to show all cards, while not extending the same courtesy (and really, it is a rule, right? Show your complete hand when it's your turn), under the guise of '
it's a friendly game'. At what point do you draw a line in the sand, or do you?
This particular opponent I would be fine with chasing out of the game, so I don't mind if they care if what I'm doing is 'friendly' or not, b/c I don't consider this person's actions friendly in regards to this issue. However, I certainly don't want to upset the overall feel of the game.
