Poker Table Etiquette

[LadderingUp]

It amazes me how most etiquette things are simple common sense and courtesy, and how lacking it is within people. People are just real life trolls. Lol

Hello.
I treat such situations absolutely adequately. I never criticize my opponents, and I do not pay attention to their criticism. For me, the main thing is to play right and I know that then, I will have good results in any case.

I'd just laugh it off. Sometimes you donk and win, sometimes you get donked and lose. It's gambling and knowing your outs is important. If he's a sore winner I'm definitely going to fire back, otherwise I'm not going to critique anything.

Do not tap the glass!

Many people treat games as an extension of their personality, so they can't tolerate defeat. They are usually the ones that start blabbering and cursing etc. every time you either out-luck or outsmart them.
People who have been involved in sports or other competitive games (chess p.e.) are usually more prepared to take a beat without collapsing.
Rudeness is unacceptable anywhere, more so in competitions. I do not mind a smart, snappy or ironic remark though- traits I am guilty of often too.

Bad players need to win occasionally as this keeps them in the game and makes them think that they are not fish (which in fact they are). It is sometimes difficult to do it but i try to say something like (good hand) and leave table without insulting or explaining anything to such player. In long turn these mistakes will be useful to the better players. After all pool full of sharks without fish is not good thing.

hello

It usually happens, it is full of these fish players..you are going to lose more times than you are going to win !!! I congratulate you I wish you luck and I leave the table without gesturing with my head held high that I have played a good tournament !! !

So use it...And don't pay attention to the unfairness of the game... There's no other way

What I can't control can't bother me, so I see it as part of the game. There's money involve and most players play poker for the money. so I see they will try to distract you any way possible but I see the game of patience and if they try to distract me i'll slow their sense of time down and put them in a sleepy state of mind with my mind and slow tanking movements. It works all the time then they get frustrated and can't control their emotions.
