Online Poker Etiquette
יולי 19, 2007I'm not a writer. I'm a normal online poker player that is just tired of the rude and obnoxious behavior at the tables during online poker games. So I decided that I'd give some rules that everybody could benefit by if everyone followed.
Rule #1- Cursing. There should be no cursing at the table. I don't care how you have to misspell it to get the site to accept the word. There's no need for it. It simply shows a lack of intelligence or maturity if you can't express yourself without cursing. You never know who is playing. You're not impressing anybody at the table with your mistyping ability.
Rule #2- Criticizing. Do not criticize other players' play. I don't care what they drew to beat you. If you want to make money, you WANT the fish to continue to play that way. They may also be setting you up to THINK that they are fish so they can shark you for the evening.
Rule #3- Delaying. Don't delay the flow of the game. While I understand multi-tabling, you shouldn't disrupt play at the tables that you are on. If it's taking you the full time allowed (or close to it), you're taking to long. If everyone took the full 30 seconds, it would take 5 minutes per hand. Ridiculous.
Rule #4- Chatting. If you like to chat (and many do), that's fine. Many people (including myself) have made friends with other players on different sites. But keep your chat clean (see Rule #1). If you don't like to chat or to see others chat messages, turn off that player's chat. Most sites offer this option. There's no reason to complain about players chatting. Also, if your chatting, pay attention to the game. That's the reason you're online. If it's not, go to a chat room. Additionally, all chat needs to be in the language of the site. Most poker sites say chat English only so all chat needs to be in English. It may be inconvenient but this protects against collusion.
Rule #5- "Dating"- Poker sites are not dating sites. Just because there is a female on your table (or you think there is) doesn't open the door to the dating service. Leave the woman alone. She wants to play some poker just like you.
Rule #6- NH (Nice Hand)- If you feel someone made a nice play, type NH or NB (Nice Bet). People (probably including you) want to have good plays recognized. BUT, you don't need to type NH EVERY hand that is won. If I raise the blinds and everybody folds, it wasn't a nice hand (especially if I had AA).
Well, there are the rules that I can think of right now. If I think of more, I'll add to this list. If anybody else can think of any, please feel free to comment.
That's it for now.
