Student poker Player - Student Poker League tournaments are held as a social event and should be played in that manner. Poker etiquette are not rules, but manners that relate to the orderly maintenance of the game and the players that who participate. A player who repeatedly violates poker etiquette is a disruption to the game and should be warned and disciplined if necessary General Etiquette Be polite. Do not swear or be verbally abusive. English only to be spoken at the table. Be modest when you win. Refrain from criticizing another player's play. Limit unnecessary chatter to avoid disturbing active players. Table Presence Manage your table space reasonably. Keep your chips on the table and in clear view to other players. Do not handle another player's chips or cards. Do not stack chips in a way that interferes with the deal, the viewing of cards, or another player. Chips on the table are not to be transferred from one player to another. Protect your cards so that no one else can see them. Keep your cards on the table. Holding cards against your shirt or putting them in your pocket or lap is not allowed. Play Play at a reasonable speed. It is each player's responsibility to follow the flow of the game. Play in turn. Do not act out of turn. At no time should any player or spectator make statements that could unfairly influence the play of a hand. Do not comment about the cards you just threw away. When cards are folded/mucked they remain mucked, even if they were folded by mistake. Do not go through the folded/mucked cards at any time during the hand or after the showdown . Betting Do not splash the pot (throw your chips) Do not string bet (placing chips in multiple actions or movements unless stated verbally) Verbally announce your action, so that all players know your intentions. Chips and discards should be placed as far forward as reasonably possible to make it easier for the dealer to handle them. When discarding your hand, do so towards the dealer at a low level of flight so that no other player can see what you have discarded. Do not expose any cards until the showdown, unless players are all-in and no further betting can take place. The Showdown Do not mis-declare your hand intentionally. Show your winning hand quickly. Do not "slow-roll" (allow your opponent to think he's won when you know he hasn't). Rabbit hunting (asking to see what cards would have appeared, had you bet) should not be allowed. Expose both cards together. Please follow these points in the best interest of the game and enjoy the friendly atmosphere.
