This is a work in progress.
But with all the brain power available in this forum, and the level of just plain silliness, we should be able to do this. Maybe even get a plaque in the Holden Hall of Fame! If there isn't one it should remain that way.

My contributions to get it rolling:

Thou shalt not TILT

Thou shalt not be rude at the table

Thou shalt respect the stupid, for their money will become your money


Let's keep it going!

  • Thou shalt covet thy neighbors chips.
  • Thou shalt steal blinds.
  • Thou shalt not shove any hand above all others.
  • Thou shalt not commit bluffery.
  • Thou shalt honor thy position for it is hallow.

So let it be written. So let it be done!

Great idea Lefty high 5:wavey:

thou should read every book article on poker possible
thou should know all your poker maths odds implied odds and tourney averages
thou should manage bankroll
thou should take no prisoners sense weakness the pot it is yours take it
thou shall have the patience of the buddist monk
thou shall not donk it all away needlessly
thou should consider position and the gap concept
thou should be wary on bubble keep good luck charms close to hand
thou should watch your opponents like a hawk watch for tells
thou should watch coach and crush them take no nonsense lol:p:p

Thank you to all for your contributions. Over the next few days I will try to condense this into Ten Commandments. There will be an 11th commandment which will not be enforced. That is to show appreciation thou shalt deposit $5 at Americas cardroom to the account of Lefty blue.

"The nuts on the River" the nuts so far on the flop is not enough

Beg to differ but if you have a 10 or better in the hole and flop a straight-flush you HAVE THE NUTS!

I am going through all the excellent commandments to get the "top" 10 and post them, and then bracing myself for the criticism.
