Robert’s Rules of Poker is a set of rules for poker. It is not an official poker rulebook, but is widely used and copied. To be considered an official rulebook, a book must use rules from other cardrooms without granting credit to their source. The goal of an official poker rulebook is to produce the best set of rules available, in order to improve the game. The rules in this book are freely available online, but they are not to be copied for commercial purposes.

The author of the book is Robert Ciaffone, known as Bob Ciaffone in the poker world. He is a leading authority on cardroom rules, and chose which ones to include in the book. He then worked to improve the wording and organization of the book. He was a rule consultant and draftsman for a variety of cardrooms, including PokerStars and the World Series of Poker, and also wrote the rulebook for the Poker Players Association, an organization that he founded in 1984.

Another important rule in poker is to always be polite to your opponents. You will likely be playing several hours with the same people, so being polite and courteous is vital. Also, remember that poker is a game of skill, so the right attitude can help you win more often. In addition, there are a few other unwritten rules to remember in the game. One of the most unethical moves is angle shooting. It can be done in a variety of different ways, but is against the rules.
