Poker Etiquette is simply good manners. If players followed these simple guidelines, we'd all find the table a more enjoyable experience and hopefully more profitable! Just remember to treat the other players in the same manner you wish to be treated. No one wants to be labeled the table idiot! NO profanity at the table and no need to be rude to other players. The floorperson's decisions are final. You may disagree with a decision; however, their job is to ensure all players are treated equally and fairly and the dealer follows all procedures. Treat your dealer with respect. Players should not talk across another player who is involved in a hand. It isn't appropriate to make comments about possible hands being played, and NEVER talk about the cards you just threw away! Don't give poker lessons to other players. Never tell another poker player how to play their hand! Place your chips within a reasonable distance from the dealer so they will be able to scoop them. This is true for cards as well. Don't splash the pot. Don't stack chips in a manner that interferes with dealing or viewing of the cards. All players and dealers should be able to see your cards. A player who expects to win the pot should show down his hand immediately. Asking to see hands unnecessarily is bad manners, a waste of time, and generally slows down the game. Although not necessary, you should verbally announce your action so there is no confusion. A player going all-in should announce it. NO string bets. This is part of verbally announcing your action. Place your chips out in one action or declare your action to avoid confusion and slowing down the game. Playing slowly is a tactic for some players; but all it does is annoy other players and slow down the game. Act in turn. Refrain from any betting action, folding your hand, betting, etc., until the action comes to you. Not doing so may influence a player to your disadvantage.
