Playing live poker is a thing of grace and propriety... You have to keep your cards and yourself in order, and not do crazy things, like get up, and walk away while playing a hand etc...


For me, I dropped one of my cards on the floor, while playing the fool with it and went to retrieve it...needless to say, they kicked me off the table and eventually ejected me from the club for having a bad attitude...
My attitude hasn't changed, but my etiquette has become immaculate!


The worst mistakes to make are the ones that cost you a win in a game?
What is you most memorable experience of poor poker etiquette?
Love to all!

Not sure how u got a attitude when you was dropping your card. Some do but very very few ever lift cards up off the table to look at them. Guess it was lesson learned?

Mine was when i was new me and guy next to me was talking and i had told him what i folded that hand while it was being played LOL i got a very stern warning. I apologized and knew never to do that again

I don't know what was wrong with me this day but after a long period of cold cards I got KTd UTG and limped in with 4 others. Flop was J97d. Yes, finally! The button who was playing Ax a lot checked. I bet $10. He was the only caller. Turn is 2d. He checks. Oh no, four diamonds on the board. I'm screwed. I bet $20 to see if I could get rid of him. He called. River is 4d. I check. He goes all in - a little more than half my stack. Crap, he's got the Ad! I stood up and steamed around. The dealer had to call me to sit back down. Stupid me, I folded! Yes, he has a flush and he might have the Ad but I'm 90% to win. Even worse, I mucked my cards face up and I saw the
dumbfounded
look on everyone's faces. This was a very embarrassing lesson in self control.

I hate when someone asks to see my hand when they are not even involved in the hand. Just let the losing hand muck their cards. Especially if you are not the one involved in the hand at showdown. Very bad etiquette. Dealer show both hands please is something I hope I never have to hear again because whether I have the winning hand or the losing hand it's just poor etiquette.

Lesson learned, never to repeat.

What is you most memorable experience of poor poker etiquette?

The worst thing I've ever done at a poker table was, waiting for a Sit and Go to start and like 15 people swarmed the table like vultures. I turned to the guy standing next to me on the rail who was drinking something alcoholic and said, jokingly, "Wow! They are like vultures!"

He turned to me with a nasty dirty look and said, "That's my wife you're talking about you ****ing asshole."

I was like, "Woah! No offense meant I was just joking!"

Needless to say he walked over to a casino staff member and they came over to me and told me I had to leave the casino! No joke! I told the guy just before I left, "Good Luck to you and your... Wife."

Didn't go back there for 2 weeks. Didn't need to anyways there were 4 other casinos within 20 mile radius.

Only Show 'em When YOU Want To.... ;)

Very bad etiquette. Dealer show both hands please is something I hope I never have to hear again because whether I have the winning hand or the losing hand it's just poor etiquette.

When I know I'm the winning hand I shut down all requests for showing my hand by throwing my cards ninja style into the muck. LOL. Hillarious because the dealer must refuse to even attempt to get them out. ;)

However, if I HAVE to show just to take down the pot then of course... show.... otherwise I shinobi them.....

Lol that is funny but disgusting at the same time. I would have asked the floor for some febreeze or some kind of air freshener. If that didn't help a table change for sure.

One of my poor live poker etiquette peaves is when players at the table say hands out loud.

Such as.....four hearts on the board and player bets out big. Why is a player not in the hand all excited and says, "Oh flush." out loud? lol

I simply explain to them that if they were the one with the flush or the one bluffing the flush that they would NOT like it if I announced winning hands. Usually they understand this logic instead of me yelling at them about it.

Good luck !

The worse move I did was to talk when not in the hand. It was a very huge game at that and a player tried to "cheat". I just couldn't let it go. Somehow, I got away with it since the end results was to the advantage of the player being cheated. What a sweat. I'm never opening my mouth again if I'm not holding cards [emoji33]🤦*♀️[emoji28].
