Something happened to me tonight the brought up the issue of poker etiquette first the story with the blinds 200 400 under the gun makes it 1200 it is to me on the button I am a little short with 6600 so when I see AK suited I go all in the raseor immediately folds giving the small and big blind undeserved information the small blind folds and the big blind ponders and make a call for about half his stack he shows pocket three's which hold up. Now maybe he calls maybe not if the raseor was not in but almost certainly not in this case the initial betters poker etiquette actually changed the game. Focus needs to be placed on poker etiquette for many reasons not only for politeness but as this example shows it can actually change the outcome of the game.

yeah be nice lolComment -
That's not actually etiquette, so much as rules.
He acted out of turn. Against the rules.
(What happened afterward is just an example of why the rule is in place.)Comment -

you can in cash game you can stand up form the table out of turnComment -
If I made a small raise and then was raised all in by someone, the last thing I would be concerned about is the well being of the guy who raised me all in.
If I knew I was going to fold, I would make it a point to let the rest of the table know about it including getting up from the table and going for a stroll while the betting is still in action.Comment -
Maybe you wouldn't be concerned, but the fact that the original raiser was UTG adds a lot more pressure to BBs decision as it is highly unlikely the UTG player was on a steal. The out of turn fold takes a lot of heat off BB here.Originally posted by andywend
So you troll the poker rooms just like you troll the forums, huh.If I knew I was going to fold, I would make it a point to let the rest of the table know about it including getting up from the table and going for a stroll while the betting is still in action.Comment -

this is mostly an etiquette situation, you are able to throw your hand in anytime you wish at a live game but be prepared to take some heat in this situation. I feel that if you don't understand nor do you care about the message being sent by this action...........then go back to playing bingo
that's just my opinion anywayComment -

I say no, that you would be acting out of turn, which is against the basic rules of every game and sport on the planet, including poker.Originally posted by 1949Comment -
He definitely should have waited another minute until it was his turn.Comment -
Ian, If I remember correctly, you're the TROLL that kept trying to sucker people into giving you Harry Reid at even money when the true line was closer to -200. Now that's poor forum etiquette.So you troll the poker rooms just like you troll the forums, huh.
I see that you enter every single free contest you can find and are clearly a PEASANT when it comes to sports betting.
Clearly, you don't have 2 nickels to rub together and its easy to understand why.Comment -
Had a discussion with a real good guy in our tournament the other week.
He was the chip leader at this point.... guy who pushes all in has approx 55% of his count.
16 person tourney 7 ppl left.
Flop comes 9s, 8s, 6d
Opponent pushes all-in
My friend has 7-10
My friend took 3-4 minutes to decide then turned over his cards.... other guy had A-9
but i told him if you do that in a real game taking that much time when you have the nutz you're going to get blasted by real players as they see it as showing off.Comment -
Slowrolling = not cool at allOriginally posted by JMUplayer
Definitely the best example of bad poker etiquette by far.Comment -
this is impossibel online? don't get it.. but yeah that sucks ..bad etiquetteComment -
I did the same thing your friend did once when I was starting out, and let me tell you, I heard about it. Lesson learned since there is no strategic benefit to wasting time there when you have the nutz.Originally posted by JMUplayerComment -
crazynes i say crazynessComment -
Definitely bad etiquette in a live game, but I don't see how that could possibly have happened online. Worst I've seen is people saying that they were going to fold in the chat box, and you probably can't get away with doing that for too long before the poker room starts getting complaints and gives you a warning.Comment -
hah agreed w/ everything already in hereComment -
He actually attempted to argue with me about a flush possibility or trips.... I kept saying it doesn't matter the guy's chips are all-in you can't get raised more. I don't know if he ever got it. Good thing it's a friendly local game.Comment
