Poker Etiquette Act in turn Keep your cards on the table at all times Act in a timely manner. Don’t take too long to make your move. If you are not in the hand, don’t comment: Don’t give advice or information (about the flop or anything) to players who. One hand one player: Don’t give advice to. Poker etiquette is the glue that holds it all together. Poker etiquette has nothing to do with strategy or how best to play your cards. It has everything to do with how you conduct yourself at the tables. These loose “rules” apply to live poker, and often online poker too. Let’s take a look.
In poker, the action proceeds clockwise around the table, one player at a time.
Etiquette is one area of concern for poker players that’sapplicable almost exclusively to live poker. While there’scertainly a certain amount of etiquette that should be expectedout of online players as well, it’s hardly anything that themajority of players will worry about. Etiquette starts from themoment you sit down at a table, and it’s something that willlikely corner you into a few awkward positions of your livepoker playing career. If you want to ensure that you have apleasant experience when playing live poker, etiquette is one ofthe many areas of the game that you will need to have a firmgrasp on.Etiquette in Table Talk
Table talk is arguably the biggest element of pokeretiquette. You can say the wrong thing at the wrong time and itwill be just enough to upset the right type of person. Somecommon areas where problems arise are more frequent than others.Before expanding into how you should handle your general tabletalk, we are going to look at some of the “problem areas” thatmany players tend to experience.
After a player loses a big pot, there are a handful of thingsthat they don’t want to hear. This is not to say that someplayers aren’t more accepting of your input than others, but it’s generally a good idea to just keep quiet and tosay nothing at all. There’s no point in trying to intervenewhen the best case scenario is not really beneficial to anyoneat all.
When someone loses a hand, for whatever reason, theydon’t want to hear about how you think they misplayed it. Thatis one of the most aggravating things that any poker player can everstart talking about. Not only were you not involved in the hand,but it isn’t your money that they are playing with. As odd astheir play might have seemed to you, there’s no reason to tryand belittle an opponent. In fact, even asking why a playerplayed a hand a certain way is just asking for trouble. Yourbest bet in these situations is to simply say nothing at all.
If a few players are involved in a hand of any size, youshouldn’t be commenting like you are Norman Chad and the gameis being televised on ESPN. Saying things like, “he raised, youknow what THAT means,” or “wow, what anover bet,” are just asking for trouble. Imagine if you wereplaying in a pot and another player started to incessantlyramble about what they think of your play as the hand is goingon. Not only is this type of table talk totally inappropriate,but it’s also against the rules in many poker rooms. You’lllikely get a simple warning the first time that you do it, butcontinual talk like this is certainly grounds for removal from a game.
Perhaps the worst thing that any player can start to talkabout in a game is how bad a certain player is. Not only are youlikely to offend and/or upset the player that’s beingdiscussed, but there’s more than a good chance that your otheropponents will be aggravated that you are trying to chase a weakplayer out of the game. The phrase “don’t tap the glass” is usedin these types of situations, and it means that you should nevertry to scare away someone who is trying to hand you their money.
This type of talk often times starts after someone loses a handto a poor player. It could have been that the winning player gotlucky, played their hand terribly, or both, and the frustrationfrom the losing player causes them to call out the bad player.As annoying as it might be to lose a hand to an inferior player,it’s just dumb to try and get them to quit or to focus onplaying better. After all, if your opponents were all premierplayers, you wouldn’t be able to earn nearly as much money.
One thing to keep in mind is that a player who berates others isusually not very good at poker themselves. Lots of poker playershave completely unwarranted egos, and you’ll realize that thebiggest mouths frequently correlate with the biggest losers,both figuratively and literally.Etiquette in Acting Time
Live poker can be a slow enough game as it is, so takingunnecessary long periods of time to act in each hand can becomeincredibly annoying for other players at the table. Most playerswho are guilty of slowing down the game are either drunk, arenew to the game, or are simply not paying attention.
You’ll almost have to learn to deal with drunk players, if only for the factthat they are going to usually give away all their money. Newplayers are learning so it’s difficult to be overly critical ofthem. Players who don’t actively pay attention to the game,however, are the most frustrating to deal with. There’s noexcuse for slowing down the game if you are simply talking withothers and/or not paying attention. Always do your best to keepthe game moving at a reasonable pace and no one is going to havean issue with how long you take to act.Etiquette in Breaks
Taking a break is fine and there certainly is nothing wrongwith it. The problem with taking breaks stems from players whoconstantly wander the floor and are seemingly never in theirseat. If you don’t want to really play, go ahead and rack up.No one is going to throw a fit if you simply leave.
The reason that players don’t like a constant wanderer is because it meansthat one extra seat at the table is now vacant. Players,especially those in live poker, always want as close to a fulltable as possible, so a few empty seats will dramatically changethe pace of the game. While this isn’t the type of issue thatwill usually garner disdain from other players, it’s stillsomething that you should keep in mind.Etiquette in Following Rules
Rules are something that every player should always be payingattention to. If you are a long time player with a lot ofexperience, the chances are that every facet of the game comesas second nature to you. For many, however, a disregard orunawareness of the rules seems to be very commonplace.
One of the biggest poker rules that’s broken in live poker is the order ofaction. If you accidentally muck your hand out of turn once, it’s perfectly acceptable and is actually a very common error. It’s the players who do it over and over again who can becomequite a nuisance. Players who intentionally act out of turn aresometimes looking for an edge over the table, and this kind ofpotential cheating mechanism is hardly welcomed. If you arecontinually making mistakes at the table, stop whatever else youare doing and work on focusing your efforts on the game at handfor a handful of orbits.The Unwritten Rule
This next area of poker etiquette has to do with followingmore of an unwritten rule more than one that’s actually set instone. One of the worst things that a player can do in livepoker is start to react to the board after the flop is dealt.Needless to say, it’s almost always players who already foldedwho are guilty of this. In getting upset after the flop isspread, you are basically telling the world that you would havemade a strong hand. This will tip off each player into realizingthat their opponent is likely weak.
How would you feel if youraised pre-flop, missed the flop, planned a continuation bet,and then had another player get all upset after the flop comes?You now know that the other player is more likely to call youdown, rightfully assuming that it’s less likely that you toohave a big hand. Some players don’t understand why this is sucha breach of poker etiquette, but once you get burned by an overanimated player, you’ll realize that it has no place in thegame.
Poker is viewed by many, first and foremost, as a form of pure entertainment. There are some players that truly only care about how much money they can win, which is fine of course, but there are also a lot of players that are primarily interested in having fun. These players would obviously love to win some money if they could, but they don’t mind losing providing they are having an enjoyable experience.
This is one reason why it’s so important to act properly and be respectful while playing poker. To some extent, every player has a responsibility to ensure that other players have a positive experience. Knowing the rules of how to play is simply not enough, as you need to know the rules on how to behave too.
There’s a great deal of etiquette involved in poker. There are some unwritten rules which dictate what you should and shouldn’t do and breaking these will likely alienate your fellow players. You should be aware of these, as you don’t want to upset your opponents and ruin their overall gaming experience. There are several formal rules too, which you need to abide by in order to avoid a penalty or being asked to leave a game altogether.
Below we list and explain our top five rules for behaving “correctly” at the poker table, along with our top five taboos that you should avoid. In addition to that, we also focus in on some extra etiquette that’s worth mentioning.Five Golden Rules To Follow
The following rules are what we consider to be the five golden rules of poker that you should always try to follow when playing it live. They aren’t in any particular order because they are all equally important, in our opinion.1. Be Polite and Courteous
If you play live poker for long enough you’ll probably encounter plenty of players who don’t follow this rule. It’s a very easy one to stick to yourself and there’s really no excuse for not being polite and courteous to your fellow players or your dealers for that matter. You don’t have to overdo it and you can even stay quiet if you want to, but using good manners isn’t hard to do and it’ll create a more welcoming atmosphere at the table.2. Keep Up With the Play
You have a responsibility to pay attention to what’s happening at the poker table while you’re playing and it’s especially important to know when it’s your turn to act. It certainly won’t take long for other players to get frustrated if they have to constantly remind you when to play. You should also ensure that you post your blinds and antes in a timely manner and that you avoid acting out of turn. Don’t take an excessive amount of time while making simple decisions and don’t keep players waiting while you order a drink or something to eat.3. Make Your Actions Clear
Making your actions clear will not only make your life easier but your opponent’s life as well. Shoving a few chips into the pot and mumbling “call” or “raise” under your breath doesn’t give you an advantage and it’ll probably just annoy your opponents. It’s not hard to slide a neat stack of chips in front of you and declare your actions with clarity. This will avoid any confusion and it will help ensure that you don’t get accused of trying to gain an unfair advantage by misrepresenting the action you are taking.4. If You Show One, Show All
If you win a hand without going to a showdown, you can choose to show the table your cards. What you cannot do, though, is show them to just one player. This potentially gives that player an unfair advantage, as they are then in possession of information that no-one else has access to. It may not be extremely helpful to them, but it’s the principle of the matter that’s the real concern. As the saying goes, “If you show one, you must show all.” The same rule applies if you decide to muck (throw away without showing) a losing hand after going to showdown.5. Be Gracious in Defeat AND Victory
No one likes a poor loser or a poor winner, so you should always try to be gracious in both defeat and victory while at the poker table. There’s nothing wrong with showing a little bit of frustration following a particularly crushing defeat, but you won’t gain any respect by going on a massive rant every time you lose a hand.
Likewise, a small celebration after winning a big pot is perfectly acceptable. Celebrating too wildly is just going to agitate your opponents and gloating about how brilliantly you played a hand is equally annoying. If you want the respect of your opponents, then you should act with some degree of humility.Top Five Poker Table Taboos
Poker etiquette isn’t just about what you should do, but it’s also about what you should NOT do. The following points are the top five taboos that you should avoid at the poker table, and again these are in no particular order.1. Revealing Your Cards During a Hand
Revealing your cards during a hand, regardless of whether you are still active or not, is very poor poker etiquette. It gives away information to the table that may provide an advantage to one player over another. For example, if one player is on a draw and hoping for certain cards to come and you reveal that you had one or more of those cards, this could change the way they play the hand, which ultimately is an unfair advantage.
Please keep in mind that there’s more than one way to reveal your cards to the table. It’s easy to avoid telling everyone what you have, but you need to be careful not to reveal your cards accidentally too. Carelessly throwing your cards away when folding, for example, can easily result in exposing them. Your reaction to seeing a flop after folding your cards can also give away unplanned information. If you exclaim in frustration that you would have made a great hand, then players may be able to determine what exactly was in your hand to some degree of certainty.2. Talking About a Hand You Are Not Involved In
Giving a running commentary during a hand that you aren’t involved in definitely goes against poker etiquette. No one wants to hear your views about what each player may or may not have, what they should do next, or what you think is going to happen. It can be annoying to the players that are involved in the hand, as they probably just want to concentrate. It could also be constituted as giving advice to a player, which is prohibited in most poker rooms.3. Criticizing Your Opponents
It’s not your place to criticize the way any of your opponents have played. Even if they have made a huge mistake, or you are just trying to offer constructive feedback, it’s simply not the way to behave at a poker table. Everyone has the right to play how they want, within the rules of course, and it’s not your responsibility to point out where they might be going wrong. In any case, why would you want to help your opponents improve their game? You want them to make mistakes, as that ultimately improves your chances of beating them, so please keep that in mind.4. Blaming or Berating the Dealer
Remember that Poker dealers are just there to do their job and they have no control over what cards are dealt. Verbally attacking a dealer because you’ve suffered a bad beat or are getting a poor run of cards is never acceptable. You are practically guaranteed to get some bad luck from time to time. It’s simply the nature of the game and it’s your responsibility to learn how to deal with the frustration and stop yourself from taking it out on the dealer.
It’s also worth pointing out that this rule is applicable even if a dealer makes a mistake. Dealers are human after all, and mistakes do happen. There’s no excuse for berating a dealer, even if their mistake might have cost you money.5. SlowrollingPoker Etiquette
The term slow rolling can be used to describe a few different circumstances, but it would generally apply when a player knows he has the best hand at showdown and takes a long time to turn over his cards in order to build up suspense. It could also apply when a player takes a long time to call an all in bet, despite knowing that they have the best hand at the table.
Many poker players consider slow rolling to be one of the worst breaches of etiquette. It serves no real purpose other than trying to wind up other opponents and rub salt in their wounds after you won a big pot. While some players will slow roll precisely to put down their opponents, it’s really not a move that we recommend making.More Poker EtiquettePoker Etiquette Slow Roll
The points discussed above are the most important to be aware of when playing live poker, in our opinion at least. There are several additional rules that others may think are just as important, or maybe even more important, so please try to follow the ones below as well.Don’t splash the pot
If you follow our golden rule #3, then you won’t do this anyway, but it’s a good idea to be aware of what the term means and why you shouldn’t do it. Splashing the pot is basically throwing your chips into the pot when making a bet, call, or raise. This is considered bad etiquette as it makes it extremely difficult to see exactly how many chips you are betting.Poker Etiquette Leaving The TableDon’t make string bets
A string bet is when you don’t make your bet in a continuous motion (i.e. you put a few chips in front of you, then a few more, then a few more) having not announced the total amount of your bet out loud. This is frowned upon and is technically against the rules, as it not only slows down the game but it can also be used to gain an advantage over your opponents. String betting can potentially allow you to gauge an opponent’s reaction to the size of your bet, and then decide whether or not to increase it based on their reaction.
String betting is a very common and often times an unintentional mistake, that’s typically made by inexperienced players. It can be used by players for tactical reasons but this isn’t usually the case. You don’t want to be accused of attempting to cheat, so you really should try hard to avoid making string bets. Again, this is relatively easy to do if you simply follow our golden rule #3.Be considerate to others at the table
When playing live poker it’s possible that you could spend several hours sitting next to the same players. Although you obviously want to beat your opponents, you don’t want to ruin the whole experience for them either. Being considerate might seem like common sense, but there may be a few things that you haven’t considered in the list below.
*If smoking is permitted, it’s still courteous to ask neighboring players if they would object to you having a cigarette.
*Some basic personal hygiene is also a must; sitting next to a player who doesn’t smell very pleasant could negatively affect a player’s experience.
*Many people are offended by swearing, so you should try to keep the profanity down to an absolute minimum.
*There’s nothing wrong with having a drink when playing, but moderation is a good idea. A player who has had one too many drinks can easily ruin a game for everyone else. Beside
