Using the unwritten rules of poker play is a big no no, because it can disrupt the game and cause players to leave. It is best to follow some basic etiquette to ensure the flow of the game.
Poker etiquette is a set of rules for professional behavior, including poker table etiquette. Poker table etiquette includes general decency, respectful behavior, and keeping chip stacks in an orderly fashion.
The poker table etiquette starts with the introduction of all players, and ends with the fifth and final betting round. This round of betting is based on poker hands made with two player cards and five community cards.
The player with the best hand wins the pot. Ties are split amongst winners. Players must reveal their hands at the showdown.
The fifth and final community card is called the “river”. After the river, another betting round is played.
If you have a good hand, you can call the last bet, thereby giving up your hand and winning the pot. Alternatively, you can fold your hand and lose the pot.
If you have a bad hand, you must play hard, and you may not be able to win the pot. Depending on the rules, you can bet only two of your own cards.
In the limit hold’em game, you can bet as much as $2 in the flop. The maximum bet is equal to the size of the pot.
Angle shooting is when a player pretends to muck his or her cards. It is considered cheating. It also is used to try to hide your chips. It is also considered lying.
