I take a lot of pride in the home game that I run. We do a $5 NLH tournament with pictionary and cash games as side games (no betting on pictionary).

We get a lot of "different" playing styles. My starting requirements are really high if I am opening a pot in early position (early in the tournament. Once the chips have moved around a bit, I get more involved. It is a mine field though. I find I need to play very close attention to the kinds of hands that different players will call you down with.

My home game is somewhat similar depending on who shows up... we do have a couple guys that "get it" and understand at least the basic concept of starting hand requirements, pot odds and the like. But we still do have some guys that play ATC and will stack-off very light (the "keep you honest" mentality). At first it was hard for me to bite my tounge when someone made a horrible play, but I've come to realize that some of them are just there to have fun with the guys and get away for a few hours. So, they don't need someone telling them why they played it wrong because (1) they probably won't get it anyway, (2) they might not even care, and (3) I'm happy to let them play poorly and take their money over the long run.
