Rules of Poker Etiquette
Cordiality
- Be polite.
- Do not swear or be verbally abusive.
- Be modest when you win.
- Refrain from criticizing another player’s play.
- Limit unnecessary chatter to avoid disturbing active players.
- Do not hit on another player, or the dealer, no matter how attractive you find them.
- Be kind to the dealer. Good karma brings good cards.
Table Presence
- Manage your table space reasonably.
- Keep your chips and/or money on the table.
- Do not handle another player’s chips or cards.
- Do not stack chips in a way that interferes with the deal, the viewing of cards, or another player.
- Chips and/or money on the table are not to be transferred from one player to another.
- Protect your cards so that no one else can see them.
- Keep your cards on the table. Holding cards against your shirt or putting them in your pocket or lap is not allowed.
- It is proper for an opponent to complain when a player consistently has the opportunity to see another player’s hole cards. It is improper to complain when someone exercises this right.
- If you step away from the table, please advise the dealer of your intentions.
Play
- Play at a reasonable speed.
- It is each player’s responsibility to follow the flow of the game. Play in turn. Do not act out of turn.
- At no time should any player or spectator make statements that could unfairly influence the play of a hand.
- Do not comment about the cards you just threw away.
- Refrain from making comments about possible hands. “The board just paired. Someone could have a full house now!”
Betting
- Do not splash the pot.
- Do not string bet.
- Verbally announce your action, particularly in games with non-professional dealers.
- Chips and discards should be placed as far forward as reasonably possible to make it easier for the dealer to handle them.
- When discarding your hand, do so towards the dealer at a low level of flight so that no other player can see what you have discarded.
- Do not expose any cards until the showdown.
The Showdown
- Do not mis-declare your hand.
- Show your winning hand quickly. Do not “slow-roll” (allow your opponent to think he’s won when you know he hasn’t).
- Rabbit hunting (asking to see what cards would have appeared, had you bet) should not be allowed.
Integrity
- Every player must play in their own self interest. Do not “soft play” any other player(s).
- Agreeing to “check-down” a hand after a player has gone All-in is not allowed.
- Coffee-housing (speaking during a hand for strategic purposes) is allowed but please exercise restraint.
-
Asking to see called hands unnecessarily is bad manners, a waste of time, and is generally bad for the game.
