The 10 commandments of poker

Lefty Blue · May 11, 2018

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!

Be careful with AQ
No hand wins preflop, not even the AA, all the cards have possibilities

NOW THAT'S FUNNY.

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.

You will not steal from those who have more.

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.
