Poker etiquette.
By: Ian Johnson

Poker as a live event requires some kind of an etiquette. It prevents from making mistakes, which would make us unprofessional player. First of all we shouldn’t make any scenes, no matter if we win or loose. After a good game and bigger winnings we should take our chips out of the table and run away. It won’t be in a good style, however plenty of poker players practice that. Let’s estimate that we would play carefully further games and after half an hour we can stand up from the table. Otherwise you might have problems with finding poker pals to play with.

We shouldn’t think of the past hands to much. We should wait until the end of the game to analyze our play. If we experienced a bad beat it might be even more dangerous to our further play. There is no point of doing so out loud as it might frustrate our poker pals and the good atmosphere is the most important after all.
Don’t comment the game while you’re playing. If you’d play a serious game you might by punished by sitting-out. Don’t react once you fold the cards. For example if you have 2-7 and the flop shows 7-7-2 don’t make any weird sounds as this might frustrate other players.

Play quick and don’t slow the play down. There might be some hands, which require more time, however most of the time you’d be able to make a decision quickly. Might be even better to switch the mobile off and focus on the game. There is nothing more frustrating the player who asks: Is it my turn?
If you fold the cards try not to show them. If there is all-in situation don’t show the cards before other players make a decision. Keep your stack visible to everyone. Don’t make a mess with the chips and don’t hold your cards in a hand. This might be badly seen by others and cause some misunderstandings.

Don’t teach others how to play. Even when some poker players don’t really know how to play poker, once you’re all in the game you shouldn’t tell them what to do in a particular situation. First of all other players would like to win as much money as they could. Second of all they might not want to hear our advices as they came to have fun.
