Our AWESOME Team Captain Bower wants to know?

Poker is a gentleman's game. Proper etiquette is a must if you want respect from other players.

If you think about it, most poker etiquette is little more than common sense and good manners. Players who are careful to exercise courtesy and respect at the table will usually find their experience to be better for it.

FOR THIS CONTEST EVERYONE NEEDS TO LIST AT LEAST 2 WAYS YOU BELIEVE SHOWS PROPER ETIQUETTE AT A POKER TABLE?

RULES

1- Everyone making a post is entered into this contest. All members that enter will be placed in a drawing where the winner will receive a $30 Prize.

2- PC-Points may also be awarded for "good thinking" or as runner-up prizes, as determined by PC Staff. Contest ends on September 30, 2009.

3- 3,000 pc-points will be deducted when prize is paid. If you do not have 3,000 pc-points to redeem for a cash prize, you will be credited 3,000 pc points to redeem on your next contest win.

4- You will need to advise us which payment method you would like us to use to pay you. To do this, please go to the red section above and click on "My Payment Method" and follow the instructions. You only need to do this once (unless you later wish or need to change your payment method option). If you have any questions, please send OrangeCrush or Crushadmin a private message. Smile

Good Luck. Happy Gaming Always!

Being a poor loser is not happening and razzing someone when they get cracked is very rude. I think when someone uses fowl language it just shows how they need to go wash their m

A Gentleman's Game?What about us Ladies,it is 2009 you know.LOL!!!

1 - Deliberately Acting Out Of Turn
While accidents occasionally happen, you should never deliberately act out of turn in an attempt to influence the game.
2 - Commenting On Other Players’ Hands
It is considered poor poker etiquette for those who are not actively involved in a hand to discuss the play of those who are.

Keeping your cool - I hate it when I watch live poker and someone gets mad and blows up- I mean, come on...they chose to play the hand! And playing on line, I think its rude to wait the timer out.

I think making comments about how another player plays their hand as "stupid" and shows their own ignorance.

The people who go all in EVERY single hand trying to grab some money and ruining the game for everyone else who are actually trying to play poker.

They are usually the ones who are constantly mouthing off about everyone ELSE's playing, or sex or whatever else they can think to insult people. These people have no business playing real poker. They belong in the kiddie section and should be playing Go Fish! LOL

Rudeness gets you nowhere and only makes people feel animosity towards them.

Poker should be fun, using your brains and being courteous.

when you lose, simply say GG to the rest of the players & move on gracefully or graciously as it may be
what makes no sense to me is when ppl bash you for playing your cards the way you want to
it's a game of luck, very little skill goes into playing non masterable games
they should be treated as such, but with a money hungry world, ppl get so bent out of shape, it's not your job, so have fun with it (if it was your job, you wouldn't be here) lol
