#1 Don’t yell at people for winning a hand and call them donkeys just say nice hand and well played when they outplay you or suck out on you.

#2 Don’t play out of turn it can influence action. Just wait until the player before you makes their decision and then look at you cards and make your play.

#3 Don’t talk when others are in the hand and ask “Are you going to call?” because it will influence the action.

#4 Don’t slam the cards at the dealer or blame the dealer when you are beat. Self control is key to playing good poker and bad beats happen all the time.

#5 Don’t slow roll people when you got the nuts. (Slow rolling is when you show one card that isn’t the winning card and then wait and slowly reveal the winning card.) It’s rude and plays with your opponents emotions.

#6 Don’t yell at people, call them names, curse or threaten violence. It’s just a game and you shouldn’t gamble with money you can’t afford to lose.

#7 Don’t slam the table in disgust. It’s disruptive to the game and basically a temper tantrum and a sign to everyone that you’re on tilt. If you’re on tilt don’t let anyone know otherwise the good players will take advantage.

#8 Don’t comment about the board when you are not in the hand saying who has a 5 here or has a straight or even reacting to the cards as if you threw away the monster.

#9 Chip etiquette: Try not to splash the pot or toss your chips in a way that sends them rolling all over the place.

#10 Card Etiquette: Don’t show a card if others are in the hand and fold in a way that minimizes the risk of a card being exposed.

#11 Tip the dealer a fair amount. Consider the size of the pot.
