Poker Etiquette

by Winning Chips

People play poker because it is something they enjoy doing and they enjoy playing. Texas Hold ‘Em is a game of money. You should not enter a game because you need or think you are going to make money.

You shouldn’t go into a game because you need or think that you will win money. The fact is that most people lose money. If you need to make money you would likely enjoy something that involves much less risk.

Sometimes there is a player at the table that you think maybe will make you just go completely insane. Nothing can be more aggravating than having to sit next to this person. So make sure you never act like that person.

Always remember your poker etiquette. It doesn’t matter what type of game that you are involved in. There are certain rules!

Well, that is if you want people left who are willing to play with you. The first rule is not to react while you play cards. Have a stone face when you look at your hand.

Have a stone face when you are looking at your hand. Don’t let anyone read you at all. This will always give you the edge.

You’ll seem like your crazy for beginners if you show your hand, and planned to stay. Kiss that idea goodbye because once shown it is a dead hand. And if you were planning on folding you are still going to tick somebody right off.

Kiss that idea goodbye because once shown that is a dead card. And if you were planning on folding you are still going to tick somebody off. This is because you can give a player an advantage over another, and perhaps ruin a pot for someone.

There is other ignorant and evil thing you should never do. One is this, fold your hand, sit back and watch the flop. Discover that you would have had a good hand if you did not fold.

Another ignorant and much unappreciated thing that you should never do is this, fold your hand, sit back and watch the flop. Then you realize that you would have had a good hand if you didn’t fold. So you react so that everyone knows what just happened.

Again, it can potentially ruin a pot by giving some players an advantage. These are just a couple of rules to follow. Know this so that you are at least humble about what you are doing and don’t make your opponents want to walk away from the game because they can’t stand playing with you anymore.
