My usual 4/8 game. Dad comes along and takes a seat across from me at the table. Teaching dad to play could make a whole other post. To make a long story short, he is bad but not terrible, plays too many hands and calls too much. I recently taught him how to run over the $1 SnGs at UB and he can hold his own at the PS .25/.5 table.
Dad is on his second rack. I'm up a rack and a half (with a 3 1/2 rack pyramid in front of me) and am catching comments. The LooPy guy to my right keeps telling me "man, you play too tight." The guy 2 seats to my right says "you read the right book." It's a good table. For some reason I've earned the nickname "Dungeons and Dragons."
I catch the monster Q  6 in the Small Blind. The usual cast of limpers including my father, I complete. Flop comes A K  rag . I bet out. "Don't call him Dungeons & Dragons doesn't bluff" (nevermind that I had taken down a pot on a bluff and for some stupid reason showed 2 I played hands ago) Folded to dad, who calls. Turn is a blank, I bet, he calls. River is a blank, drat, well you can't win by checking and folding.... I bet.
"Don't give him the satisfaction"
"You know Dungeons and Dragons has it"
Is is just me, or does the table usually root for the guy in dad's spot to call it down?
Dad mucks his Ace rag offsuit, suddenly fearing that his kicker is no good.
I show my bluff. The table is in shock. I can't imagine what they would have thought if they knew I had just bluffed my dad out of a pot...

Seems more like a home game than a Casino.

why would your dad sit at the same table as you? I have a rule when gambling with my brother.....separate tables. My theory is, If I wanted to take my brothers money, we could have stayed home, save on tolls and gas, he gives me a few hundred bucks and I kick him in the nuts.
Last weekend he gets moved to my table when his broke, and I flop trip 10s with suited doyle in my hand, I check raise the turn and he calls me down, only to get all pissed that I played a shitty hand. I prefer have 9 people at the table that I can take money from that wont be bitching about it on the ride home.
Just my 2 cents

He heard about my last 3 trips and wanted to see me do my thang. Was a real eye opener for him to see just how TAggy my game is...
Funny aside. So I'm catching remarks about just how tight I'm playing. I raise up KQo UTGish, get cold called in like 3 spots plus the blinds refuse to fold. Flop is Ace X X. I bet, I think one person folded. So much for the myth that my table image hurt my action. I check/fold the turn.

Usually I want my brother at my table. Just because we have a lot of fun making comments and shit and then last time someone brought up "what do you guys feel about table talk" and it was when my brother was trying to be a mind reader and guess my hand. I'm like dude my brother has already folded. And he is like oh ok thats fine then. Usually its just a bunch of like "ohhhhhh shitttttttt" and "god damn man that fool is crazy, you never know what his crazy ass has"
But the tournament before last - which he paid 20 to enter and 20 to rebuy - which was my god damn 40 bucks by the way - I knocked him out like 12th or something with my KQ getting a full house vs his AK. Usually we avoid each other though. And we are both such tight players we are rarely in a hand together anyway. He had gone all in with his AK and call it cheating or wrong or whatever I figured he would beat me and I was close to chip leader so I figured Id maybe give him some chips (we dont share cards or any shit like that and i know for a fact he would never give me a single one of his chips but I was just trying to be nice lol). I went on to win that tourney and collect 380. KQ was the miracle hand of the night I guess because when we were down to 4 I took out a AK flopped flush draw with a pair of Queens.
