Poker Etiquette is part of the game. As in the real poker world, a standard amount of etiquette is expected when playing "online". Here are some of the general courtesies we expect at Texas Hold'em Poker:

• Whether or not you play like a champion, you can act like a champion
  
  
• Treat others as you would like to be treated.
  
  
• Do not harass or intimidate other players at the table.
  
  
• Do not criticize your opponents' play.
  
  
• We do not tolerate foul or offensive language in the Chat area. (Violators will lose their playing privileges.) We want everyone to have Fun and enjoy playing at Texas Hold'em Poker.
  
  
• You can think or say things, just don't type them.
  
  
• If a player is constantly slowing down the game (called "lagging"), you may bring it to the attention of the player, but please be polite about it. (Our "support" team can assist in case of a connection problem.)
  
  
• Do not type in capital letters as it appears you are shouting.
  
  
• As we all know, poker can be frustrating. Bad beats are a part of the game. When they happen to you, say "Nice Catch" or "Nice Hand" to your opponent or remain silent. When you draw-out and wish to comment, say something like, "Whew! I got lucky there!".
  
  
• The "Live Floorman" button is available for your protection. Don't abuse it, but if you question the outcome of a hand or suspect collusion among your opponents, please use the Live Floorman Button. A support staff member will look into your inquiry. (Click here for information about collusion.)

Thank You for observing Poker Etiquette. It makes the game more pleasant for everyone.
