Poker Etiquette
If you don’t want
to get kicked out of a game,
make sure you
remember to play nice.
|
Don’t Act Out of
Turn Always wait until it’s
your turn to go before you make any decisions concerning your hand and your
bets. If you fold or make a bet before your turn comes up, you could possibly
change the outcome of another players’ decision. Folding out of turn tends to
annoy people the most. |
|
Don’t String Bet When your turn comes
around and you decide to bet, never string bet. This is when you call the
current blinds/bet and then you reach for a raise. You should always announce
to everyone that you want to bet/raise before you call the current bet. If
you fail to do so, the person after you may think you’re done and go on with
his call/bet. |
|
Don’t Touch the
Kitty Never ever touch any
of the money once it has been put in the pot/kitty. It’s like going through
someone’s piggy bank just because you felt like it. If you need to get change
from the kitty, you should always make sure someone is paying attention and
make an obvious switch so not to confuse anyone. |
|
Don’t Be Salty If on the river you
decide not to call the last bet, don’t demand to see your opponent’s cards.
If they don’t want to show you what they had and you didn’t call, then too
bad for you. Also, if you lose, don’t get all sore about it. Learn from your
mistakes and move on. |
