People play poker because it is something they enjoy doing and they enjoy playing. Texas Hold ‘Em is a game of money. You should not enter a game because you need or think you are going to make money.

Never join a game because you need to win or think you are going to make big money. The fact is that most people lose money. If you need to make money you should engage in something that involves far fewer risks.

Nothing can be more distracting than having to sit next to this person. So make sure you’re never that person. Always remember your poker manners, regardless of the type of game you are involved in.

There are certain rules to follow and things that often do or do not make sense. You have to follow the rules anyways. Well, that is if you want people left who are willing to play with you.

There are also things that you just do or don’t do out of common sense. Well, that is if you want to have people left that are willing to play with you. The first rule is not to react while you are playing cards.

If you are going to let people read you then you should just play all your cards face up. Never let anyone see your hands while a hand is in play. There may or may not be technical regulations you’ll breach.

You’ll seem like your crazy for beginners if you show your hand, and planned to stay. Kiss that idea goodbye because once shown it is a dead hand. And if you were planning on folding you are still going to tick somebody right off.

You are going to look like a fool for starters! If you show your hand and planned on staying in, kiss that thought goodbye. That stunt is an automatic fold, a dead hand.

If you were planning on folding you are still going to tick someone off. This is because you can give one player an advantage over another and potentially ruin a pot for someone. If it happens by mere accident then you better say you are sorry until the sun rises.

Then react so that everyone knows what happened. Again, it can potentially destroy a pot by giving some players an advantage. Again, this will make people angry.

These are only a few rules to follow. Do so that you are at least humble about what you do. Plus you do not want your opponents to withdraw the game because they can not play with you anymore.
