Poker Etiquette

Just as there are certain basic poker etiquette do’s and don’ts when playing poker games and tables at a casino, or with a group of friends, there are also some various poker game rules of poker etiquette that players should adhere to when playing poker online. Remember, just because it’s an online poker room, doesn’t mean that you should throw all respect of politeness or poker game etiquette rules out the window!

Here are LuckyHog's "Poker Etiquette Tips to Become a Better Poker Player":

• Poker Etiquette Tip # 1 - "DO watch your language." There are all sorts of online poker players out there; you don’t want to risk offending them or chasing them away because you’re using inappropriate trash talk.
  
  
• Poker Etiquette Tip # 2 - "DON'T be a jerk." Abusing the poker dealer or your fellow poker players won’t win you any friends, and it’ll translate badly online. Something that might seem harmless when playing with your buddies won’t necessarily seem the same when you’re playing online. Do you want to look like a sophisticated, knowledgeable player, or just a silly immature one who doesn’t know what they’re doing?
  
  
• Poker Etiquette Tip # 3 - "DO play at the right pace." Slowing things down because you’re not paying attention will only annoy other players. Trying to play more than one game at a time might also slow down your connection speed, and hence slow down your play. You might risk making the game less enjoyable for others.
  
  
• Poker Etiquette Tip # 4 - "DON'T give advice." You should focus on your own cards and your own hand. Trying to throw other poker players off their game by giving bad advice will only annoy other players, and make you look bad.
  
  
• Poker Etiquette Tip # 5 - "DO play in turn." Don’t fold or leave the poker game until it’s your turn to bet.
  
  
• Poker Etiquette Tip # 6 - "DO be polite." This might sound repetitive, but showing your anger or frustration while playing online poker can certainly work against you. Other players might even take this as a sign that they can take advantage of your poor play.
