Ask Gambling Rose: from [email protected] August 18, 2005

Dear Gambling Rose,

I'm new to the online poker world. I have a little experience playing Texas Hold'em in real life (mostly with friends and family), but I would like to know, before I jump into this, what are the basic rules or etiquette that I should know about online poker rooms?

Dear [email protected],

Simply put, use much of the same etiquette as you would with your friends and family.

• Never play out of turn.
• Don't be obnoxious or rude to other players. No verbal heckling. On this note, I must say that there are a lot of players that use this as a tactic to try to psych out or distract their opponents in order to gain an advantage in the game. It is poker, so you have to expect 'tactics' to be used, but there are many tactics and strategies that you can use to get the same effect, without being a poor sport.
• Always remember the table limits and bet within them.
• Know the rules of the game before you sit down to play. 

Thanks for your question, Gambling Rose.....
