Online Poker A Gentleman's Approach
So you think you just got access to an online
poker room and that’s it? We are here to tell you about
essential online and offline poker manners. Follow these
guidelines; it is guaranteed that no matter how much you win or
lose, your respect will be doubled up in no time.
It is all in the Hands!
NEVER ask your opponent about his or her current hand. This is
going to pass on a bad impression to all the players if they are
in the chat room and start chatting about it. You will get bad
remarks, your rep will go negative and you won’t be invited to
any poker games online. Asking a poker player about the Hand is
just like asking them to help you cheat.
Stay In Limits;
We all know that you want to show everyone how good you are
after winning. But don’t go for handshakes after you have won
the match against an opponent. Your opponent, after losing might
not want to shake hands with you because of his/her huge loss.
If you are in an online poker room, then don’t try to be coy
with the opponent who just lost a bet – UNLESS and UNTIL- they
approach you first in a friendly manner.
Save The Apologies;
After winning in online or offline poker, don’t say something
like, ‘Sorry man, but it was a good run tho’. It will only send
a negative message to them and also ask yourself, Why are you
feeling sorry for winning their money? It was all because of
your never ending hard work and dedication at online poker.
