2. TAKING ON THE BIG GUNS AT THE CASINO? YOU NEED TO MIND YOUR MANNERS
AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU CONDUCT YOURSELF WITH DECORUM AT ALL TIMES…
OR ELSE YOU MIGHT TICK THE OTHER PLAYERS OFF!
mind your
Ps & Qs!

3. 1.WHILE POKER IS A VERY SOCIABLE GAME, YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PACE
CONTINUES AND YOU DON’T DO ANYTHING TO STALL OR DELAY HANDS. PAY ATTENTION TO
WHEN IT’S YOUR TURN AND DON’T GET DISTRACTED BY ORDERING FOOD, CHATTING TO YOUR
PALS OR (CARDINAL SIN) SENDING TEXT MESSAGES WHILE AT THE TABLE.
Don’t dilly-dally

4. 2.ONE OF THE WORST THINGS YOU CAN DO TO A FELLOW POKER PLAYER IS ASK TO
SEE HIS MUCKED HAND. YOU’RE BASICALLY SAYING YOU DON’T TRUST HIM. IF
SOMEONE DECIDES TO MUCK THEIR HAND AND NOT SHOW THEIR CARDS THAT’S
THEIR CHOICE AND, EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN ASK TO SEE A CALLED HAND ON THE
RIVER, IT’S DEFINITELY FROWNED UPON.
Can I see your cards?

5. 3.REMEMBER – NEVER, EVER DISCUSS THE HAND IN PLAY. DON’T MENTION THE
CARDS YOU FOLDED, WHAT YOU THINK SOMEONE ELSE HAS IN THEIR HAND, THE
SIZE OF THE POT OR WHAT YOU’D DO AT THIS POINT. JUST KEEP IT TO YOURSELF.
Pipe down

6. 4.NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU’VE PLAYED AND HOW MUCH MONEY YOU’VE LOST,
IT’S NEVER THE FAULT OF THE DECK ITSELF SO DON’T TAKE YOUR ANGER OUT
ON THE CARDS BY TEARING THEM, CRUMPLING THEM UP OR RIPPING THEM TO
SHREDS. (IT HAPPENS, BELIEVE US.)
Respect the cards

7. 5.YOU MIGHT THINK YOU LOOK SUPER COOL WHEN YOU TOSS YOUR BET INTO
THE MIDDLE OF THE TABLE IN A BIG OLD MESS BUT TRUST US, THIS IS JUST
INCREDIBLY ANNOYING FOR EVERYONE ELSE. IT’S HARD TO TELL HOW MUCH
YOU’RE BETTING AND JUST MEANS SOMEONE ELSE WILL HAVE TO CLEAN UP
AFTER YOU.
Don’t splash the pot
