i would rather have that then when people dont take it seriously at all, trust me. you get annoyed pretty fast when you play with about 5 other guys who arent paying attention half the time, never know what the bet is, act out of turn, always asking if its on them, always having to be told when its time for them to bet, etc etc... gets quite annoying and takes forever for a hand to finish. its cool to have a good time and make jokes and stuff, but when it takes 5 minutes to get your attention to act it is quite discouraging.
