Whether you play poker on a regular basis, or have only ever played in a game with friends, there are some unwritten rules that you should follow. These rules are a good way to improve your atmosphere at the table, and can help you win more money.

The first and most basic rule of poker is to be polite and courteous to other players. You don’t have to give advice or show your hand to someone, but you should do your best to stay polite and respectful. This will help you get to know your opponents better, and will make the game easier for you.

Another important rule is that you should not reveal your holding to your friends, even if you’ve folded. When you fold, don’t be surprised if your hand isn’t the strongest.

The game will then continue with betting rounds after the flop and turn. If two or more players remain, the player with the best five-card hand will win.

The next rule is that you should not reveal your holding if you are on the turn. If you are on the turn, you can choose to raise your bet by the same amount as your opponent’s bet, or fold.

Lastly, you should not make fun of someone’s mistakes. This can cause the game to be interrupted. It’s also illegal to make a point about a mistake, as it could be considered cheating.

You will also need to print your Member ID# on your sign-in sheet. This number will be given to you by the lead dealer.
