Good Etiquettes is Good Poker

September 24th, 2008

Live games teach you a lot than the online ones. Etiquettes for example are one such lesson that one learns in a live performance. Even though money is the first thing you’d like to focus, it is important to learn good manners to help poker clubs run smoothly. If good attitude is not considered, often games would not be played due to commotion and bustle. Why not then, imbibe the good protocol to ensure free and fair games?

One should for instance, never ask to see the losing hand of other players after the play is over. You can see the hand which called during the game. The set of deck allotted to the player is his property and no other players have rights to view it.

You need to follow etiquettes even if you are a winner. After winning a tourney, don’t indulge in talking and shaking hands with the loser unless he comes over to shake hands with you.

If you win a good sum of money, don’t feel sorry for the other players. In other words, don’t ever try to apologize. If you do, it shows that you are basically a liar and this would not go down too well with the players who have lost their money to you in the game.

Be reticent in a poker game. Don’t interfere between two players, don’t come in between the conversation of two opponents, and don’t talk when you are not in the picture.

However, even though you are a winner, you need to react when a wrong incident occurs. For instance, if you see your opponent’s deck due to the dealer’s ineptness, protest. Remember, it is not the players’ fault that you could see the deck.

Etiquettes however small they might seem bring harmony in volatile places, such as a poker table. If you want to stay longer as a poker player, ensure you follow the poker etiquettes properly.
