Poker
etiquette is the unwritten rule book. We believe poker should be high
drama but behaviour at the table should never effect the progress of a
game. Casinos will have a much stricter code.

Poker
Jokers are free to drink alcohol to their hearts content. NB. drinkers rarely end up being contenders
but who cares! Poker should be fun, and drinking can actually make your Texas Holdem strategy more unpredictable. |

Swearing
|
|
|
Texas Holdem can be a very frustrating game. You
wouldn't swear in front of your grandma, yet some bad beats turn the air
blue. We have all been there and assuming no kids are about... let it
all out!

|
Dealer
abuse is not not tolerated. Respect your dealer.

|
|
Abusing
the dealer
|
|
Players
take it in turn to deal. Whilst it can make you want to scream, it's not
the dealer's fault you keep getting bad cards. Take it on the chin and chill. |
|
Slow
play
|
A
typical game of poker often lasts over three hours. Whilst no timer is put
on any player, unnecessary slow play is frowned upon. |
|
Acting
in turn
|
Poker
is all about information. A hand may be effected by a player acting out
of turn. Any bet or fold completed out of turn effects the players left
in the game. |
|
Standing
All-in
|
Poker
players must stand when betting their entire chip stack. The player is standing
in anticipation of a losing hand and a fast exit from the table. |
