There is so much to concentrate on at a home game. WATCH the players. Look how they bet when they win a pot. Remember their actions and mannerisms. It's amazing.
Here's a story:
In my group of friends, there is one other person who I actually respect. He is a good player, well-read, does well online, and is ferocious heads-up. Sitting blankly as I folded hand after hand, I picked up an interesting tell, which TO THIS DAY he still does. I told him that I got something good on him, and he claims he doesn't give anything away.
It's incredible. And, it's fun when you pick something up like this.
