Poker Etiquette

  • Language, dress and behavior should be of a standard appropriate to ladies and gentlemen.
  • A player who expects to be showing down the winning hand should show it immediately.
  • It is considered impolite to ask to see the hand of a player one has just beaten in a pot or to use the request as a "needle". A Supervisor may suspend this privilege should they deem it appropriate.
  • It is impolite to use an excessive amount of time to make a play one knows will be made.
  • It is improper to fold out of turn or when not facing a bet as if may give a player an unfair advantage.
  • A player going All-In should announce that fact.
  • Criticism of the way another player has elected to play their hand or their general style of play is impolite and undesirable.
  • It is improper to speak any language other than English while any cards are in play.
  • Talk or action demeaning to staff or players will not be tolerated. Throwing cards, name-calling and other such uncivilized behavior will be grounds for suspending or barring any player from the card room.
