[@_Coffee4Closers]

I do NOT see "Hit and Run" as a problem. A player is under ZERO obligation too, "give you a chance to win your money back". I have heard this stupid argument forever, and it makes absolutely no sense. It is NOT your money he won it, and it is his money... he can leave anytime he wishes too leave. I have never understood why anyone thinks he is doing anything wrong by leaving if he so desires. If a player is mad that someone won his money, that player should not play poker.

[@j.d.7208]

It's a good way to catch an a** whipping though.

[@ishuboyapally1438]

hundred percent agree. we're playing for money, not just for sport. if its a home game where you know everyone at the table, it's different but at a casino where I dont know the other players, I'm there strictly to try to make some money

[@_Coffee4Closers]

@@j.d.7208 Why... only immature babies think that another player has to offer "HIS" money for others to win. If you won my money and get up and leave why should I be upset? I willingly bet the money and lost, I have no right to demand you give me back my money. It is silly.

[@_Coffee4Closers]

@@ishuboyapally1438 Yeah, I totally get it at a home game with friends, that are just playing to be social, and have a few beers, and laughs for an evening. But people at a casino being upset is just childish. Players come and out and money moves into and out of the game non stop. The only money a player should feel any right to is his own, and once it moves into another players stack it is not his own anymore.

Instead, what I sometimes do is take chips off the table and put them in a pocket, out of the action. I try to just match stacks with the other players.

[@_Coffee4Closers]

​@@Just_Pele OK, now that is called "Pigeonholing " and is absolutely NOT allowed in any casino. You will be banned if caught most likely... you cannot remove money from the table unless you leave the game for some period of time... most casinos will not let you resit at a new table unless you place all the money you had on the table previously, unless several hours have passed (assuming the floor is aware), or you play at a different stakes. Pigeonholing is a big no no in all casinos, and probably frowned on at a home game as well.

[@Just_Pele]

@@_Coffee4Closers That gave me a good laugh, thanks. I can't even find an example of that term being used in relation to gaming/poker. No, taking money off the table, as long as you tell the dealer, is just fine. Did you just make that up on the spot, or did someone play a joke and tell you that crap? 😆😆

[@_Coffee4Closers]

@@Just_Pele Well I have no idea what casino you play in, but this is NOT allowed in any casino in the US that I am aware of. I think you are slipping money off the table without the knowledge of the other players or the floor. This is in fact a rule everywhere I know of. I have played as a semi pro for many years and play as a pro now. So tell us what casino you are playing at that you are allowed to remove money while in the game? We will wait... PS: you also hear this referred to as "Going South", or "Ratholing"... is there an official name for it... not sure, might be regional slang, but no casino I have ever played in (and that is every casino in Las Vegas, and dozens more) allows this.

does it really matter where your freaking chips are?.. the chips are obviously colored for a reason like a blue chip is five dollars or whatever etc. I’m just saying for example who cares if the 50 yard chips are hung or chips or in the back row or in the front row of your STACK!!!

[@rhodymark4305]

I agree with most when talking about hit and run. I think that one depends on who and where you’re playing. If I’m playing a local home game then I’m not going to hit and run and most people won’t, that’s just understood. And the players that do hit and run in home games don’t often get invited back if they break the rule a few times. Now in Vegas or at a casino??? Hell yes I’m gonna hit and run if I hit a few big hands a few times quickly. You put your money down and I won, it’s now mine and I’m gonna go spend it. If I go all in and lose then it’s gone so if I win its the same, gone.

Oh man. I hate playing with players that try to tell me how to play, but I love taking their money. I have played poker since I was a kid, played competitively for 30+ years, and recently this guy kept criticizing the way I played, because I "didn't know how to play properly" and I often intentionally irritate players to the point that get involved way more often than they should, anyway, I flop a straight and overbet, he starts telling me how stupid I was for overbetting, and I say "well I flopped a straight" he immediately says "no, you didn't, or you wouldn't bet that much, you would check" and calls. I check the turn and he smugly goes all in, of course I call and he continues bitching, but rebuys and dumps it all to me again. Gets up, pissed, I say, "but I thought you were a poker expert?" He rebuys again and dumps it all to me again. Would always avoid playing with me after that, telling people I was a donkey that got lucky one night, 🤷 yeah, for 30+ years, which don't get me wrong, I do experience quite a bit of luck. Good and bad, cancels out long term, but my skill is knowing when I can get under a players skin and picking my spots

The 2:00 slow roll. The players at the table were laughing about it. Mike the mouth Matusow was talking about how he would punch anyone who slow-rolled him in the face. Deeb was sort of egging him on, asking if he would really punch someone who slow-rolled him. It went on for a bit. When Deeb turned over the quads, Matusow sort of sunk down, and didn't punch anyone. Everyone was laughing at Matusow, but no one was pissed at Deeb.

[@erickelly4682]

Patrik Antonius should have never been featured in the excessive tanking segment.

“Protect your whole cards”. Once I had my cards under 2 chips and right in front of me, waaaaaay behind the line. For whatever reason the dealer reached over during my turn, took the cards underneath the chips and mucked my cards, I was shocked and immediately called the floor, there was nothing they could do even though I had a good hand, but they did change the dealer.

[@_Coffee4Closers]

Yep, it happens. We all have had it happen at some point, if you have played long enough.

There is no specific rule. IMO when you are running good, play until sunrise. When you are running bad, find any excuse to leave the game.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with hit and run. There could be players who maybe made a goal to hit a certain amount and then leave once they hit it, and if they so happen to win that amount in one hand, so be it.

[@AllHaiLKINGTIsHeRe3]

Good tips but a few of the rules I think are a bit overstated. The first is the "no hit and run" rule. I could only see this rule applying at a small home game or something, but if you're playing a cash game at a casino, you have no obligation to play a game that you don't think is profitable. If you won a big pot and you're winning a few bucks, and you think this is a good time to leave, that's your perogative. Also, not eating at a table. I mean, it depends what it is. Some foods are really messy but in general it's acceptable to eat something simple. And complaining about bad beats is a bit of a middle ground thing. I know it's considered rude nowadays but a lot of us just can't help it. But there's different levels of complaining. You don't need to insult the other person but it's okay to mumble a little when you get an unbelievably bad beat.

a lot of this sportsmanship stuff honestly only applies to cash games, and mostly private cash games as if you're obnoxious they just simply won't invite you back while your behavior has to be pretty egregious to be banned from a casino. tanking at tournaments obviously gives small stacks a slight edge (while calling clock gives big stacks a slight edge) which is why they've implemented shot clocks and/or time chips at most tournaments in an attempt to combat this.

[@rickmedved8974]

Good video, but I disagree about eating at the poker table. many poker rooms comp meals during play, so you are throwing away money if you are not taking advantage of it. And if someone is going to play poker for 6 hours, I would rather have them eat at the table than to cash out and leave the poker room.

[@StephenSpring1]

You really switch from rules that are so different in cash games vs tournament games. You should do 2 videos on each!

Eating at the table: Follow the etiquette of the room. If other people are eating and there are accommodations for it, like side tables to hold your plate and glass, politely eat for food. Many places now have servers just for that now, it's part of the atmosphere, just don't be a slob and get grease or food on the cards or the main table itself. Use your napkin, you have it for a reason.

Tip 5% of the pot? The house is already raking the pot and 5% more should go to the dealer? If he deals 20 hands per hour at a typical 2/5 game he would probably make $100/hr. I don't think he works quite that hard.

I've had to do it bc I've hit for a decent pot, and then the players who got beat immediately went on tilt and were shoving pre flop. So I just left 2 hands after I won. Then I get accused of hit and run.

[@ithinkurf]

Hit and run is fine during cash games at a casino. I once played 1,2at a casino with a 250 Max. I sat down and the guy opposite me had about 5k in chips. Everytime I went into a pot, he'd raise it by 250 he did this 5 or 6 times in a row. So I sat back and waited for a monster and then called him. I left the table after that.

[@Jimulacrum]

"A standard guideline is to tip 1-5% of the pot." No, it isn't. Standard guideline is to tip $1 per pot at most low-stakes games, perhaps more (smallest available chip) at higher-stakes games. Individual players may have personal guidelines for additional money they may add for large pots or particularly good dealers. It is wildly out of the norm for poker players to tip dealers on a percent basis.

[@rycer7977]

I feel like it’s fine to tank, it just depends on the table and situation. I’ve only tanked like twice and it was really because I didn’t know what to do. It was also for a lot of money in my situation

PERIOD. END OF STORY. It's YOUR money now, WITHOUT ANY STRINGS ATTACHED WHATSOEVER!! ! It's NOT anyone else's money anymore!! That's NOT how this shit works!! Do WHATEVER the hell you wanna do with YOUR chips--and FEEL FREE TO CASH THEM OUT WHENEVER YOU FEEL LIKE LEAVING THE GAME!!

1 addition to the Houdini rule: Some players are well versed in the realm of patience & low vpip for that player to continue playing 3-4 hours after winning a big pot would bring less action to a game than a loose player such as myself continuing for 15 minutes, Worth Mentioning, FYI I agree with concept but splitting cat hairs is of the upmost importance!

[@AhadHossain-xr7cn]

Hit & run is only for irregular players. For regular players it can be problem in long run. Because once the others started recognize the player, 3 things will started to happen. 1. Professional or sharks will be very aggresive & the player will loose all chips before get good chance of winning. Sharks really hates hit & runners. 2. players with same skills will start hit & run whenever they play against hit & runner. 3. The worst thing will happen fishes are gonna just play few hand (sometimes just 1 or 2) for courtesy, then they will change the table or leave the casino. Trust me don't get shunned by sharks. Most important, always give fishes chance to win their money back, so they will loose more. 😂😂😂

[@danielgunther6661]

#10 is basically false because anyone who plays poker at all knows you big denomination chip go out in front or on top of your stack. Also hit and run isn't that bad. The object of the game is to win chips/money. Doesn't matter if it takes you 10 hands or 100 hands. I can't stand it when players eat at the table. It leaves the cards a mess, sometimes the table and the space is already limited enough and then they want to pull up a table like there eating a TV dinner. Eat before or after your session or leave and come back. Most rooms will allow 30 minutes or so for a dinner break before picking up your chips.

"Keep your big chips on the bottom and smaller chips on top." Umm, no. Keep your big chips up front where they are visible to all. This is not only etiquette but an actual rule. "No eating at the table." People eat at the poker table all the time. It can be acceptable, but it's a question of what you're eating (ideally not greasy or smelly food) and how (ideally using a side table, not over the poker table).

[@ryanfinley3304]

I've been playing for awhile, and I've never said a single word to another player except the words call or fold 😊

[@kipwshields]

I will hit and run every time if I can. "Give them a fair chance to win their money back" that is the worst quote I have ever heard. They bet the money, they lost it. Not my problem or responsibility to baby them!

I absolutely love mr the best poker player in the history on the thumbnail devouring his next victim

[@5RustyBin]

I guess Phil missed the memo on not complaining about bad beats..... regarding calling the clock the Tony G one was utterly ridiculous - calling the clock should be optional and up to the players but there has to be a minimum amount of thinking time allowed before the clock can even come into play. I think 2 mins is sufficient

[@user-gx9wh7vs2f]

addition to the Houdini rule: Some players are well versed in the realm of patience & low vpip for that player to continue playing 3-4 hours after winning a big pot would bring less action to a game than a loose player such as myself continuing for 15 minutes, FYI I agree with concept but splitting cat hairs is also of the upmost importance!

[@user-ti6bj8gs5r]

Need to work on the analogies

[@Thebackofmyhead]

Houdini of poker has a nice ring to it.

[@springinfialta106]

7 is wrong. So many times I see everyone not in the hand chatting away. So long as they don't discuss the hand at play everything else is okay. Poker is supposed to be a social game.

There's nothing wrong with talking during a hand, but you should never be talking ABOUT the hand while it's in progress. The only exception is when you're in the hand and heads-up. Other than that having conversations is fine; but if the pot gets exceptionally large, it's a good thing for everyone to quiet down.

[@zacharyhumphries1707]

I agree. Talk all ya want... just not about the hand in progress. Unless you're still in it.... that changes things.

[@higorsilva9818]

I've been playing poker since, I don't know, 2017? And most of these things are not true with adults.

[@whatisitworthnow]

My chips, I'll leave whenever I want.

[@danjones2164]

Splashing the Pot can get you ejected from a card room/casino. It's one thing to do it accidentally but continue to do it will for management to act. I don't have problem as a player and as a dealer with people eating at the table is not rude at all as long as you use napkins and observe normal eating etiquette. Plus, it keeps the action going at the table. Exposing your cards in the middle of the hand is a big no, no but if you want to show them as you toss them into the muck is up to you. Every poker player suffers bad beats and in some cases acting like a child can get you kicked out of a casino.

[@ToadHallPub]

If there is a psychological advantage in poker, thanks for pointing out how to aggravate other players. If you want to gamble against the house, play any other casino game. If you want to take other people's money, try getting a thicker skin. If you break "etiquette" and win, you won. If you were distracted by being psyched out and lost, you lost. It's ultimately a game of strategy and chance. Nothing you do physically changes the outcome of what cards land where. Shut up and play

[@jameslinzmeier368]

companies should be required to pay their workers enough that tips are not necessary. It should be charged up front at games (as part of the entry fee) so everyone pays their share (if tipping is required) This goes for all companies in every sector IMO

[@springinfialta106]

Eating at the table is okay especially if you are going for a long session. As long as you are not eating over the table and what you are eating doesn't make your hands greasy, then eating is okay. Poker is supposed to be a social game. Its not supposed to degenerate into a boring mind game like chess.

[@bobroth1951]

I would add no. 17 - Never berate a recreational player - no matter how "lucky" they get on some hands. I want these players to stick around. Eventually, they always loose all their chips.

[@kbshaw82]

@9:50 actually should be putting higher at the top so everyone can tell how much you have (roughly) without needing an actual count.. this is actually a thing, esp. in tournaments

[@zachschacher6142]

Those analogies could really use some work.

[@Autshot20]

So don't tank, don't take excessive time to make a decision but if you call the clock on someone who is tanking is bad too.

[@blaineturner4056]

Slow rolling is the opposite of Bluffing ? Both great tactics that have been around forever

[@Jivvi]

They're not making a distinction between slow rolling on the river or at showdown, and trying to look weak when there is is still more action to come. Slowrolling isn't a tactic when you're closing the action or the action is already done. It's just a dick move.

[@UncleJoeLITE]

Thanks 👍🇦🇺

[@LemonCherryGelatoBiscotti]

Your analogies are hilarious because what the hell is a spaghetti fight

[@pokerguvna978]

Your reasoning against splashing the pot is way off. It has nothing to do with keeping track of the pot (every dealer should be counting the pot as it develops and so should any player who considers themselves serious in any way about the game). You shouldn't splash the pot because the dealer and players may not see what your bet is before it becomes mixed with the rest of the chips. Then the dealer would have to take the time to count out the pot to find the amount of the bet. Also, you comments on tipping are a bit off. You do a great job describing what the tip is for, but you should recognize you have a global audience and not every dealer is allowed to receive tips, let alone relies on them as a significant portion of their income (though this is common just about everywhere in the US). And I don't think I've ever seen any cash player tip 1% of a pot. The most common stakes played are 1/2 or 1/3 and a typical pot in those games is $50-$100. No player is tipping $0.50 and if they get a monster $1,000 pot they're probably not tipping more than $5. Generally, at this level, players typical tip $1 per hand and maybe extra if there were contributing factors like an exceptionally large pot, a crazy suckout, dealing with an obnoxious player, or the hand took longer because of tanking or multiple pots due to all-in bets. On the other hand, when it comes to "jackpots" such as high hands and bad beats, typically the etiquette is 5-10%, depending on the size of the award. And tipping in poker tournaments typically requires more knowledge as to whether there's a gratituty already included in the buy-in, how many places are paid, and how much ROI you receive for cashing. A player winning $1,000,000 (pretax) on a $500 buy-in should tip a smaller percentage than a player who min-cashes for $1,000 and won't have their winnings garnished by taxes.

[@scratchnoff7609]

Just how long are you supposed to stay at a table

[@pippofranco879]

About 43 minutes

[@kitsune090]

dude, I lost 4 over 500bbs pots in a row with 99.5% equity... and I didn't cash out even once cause I thought it wasn't necessary! Who really cares about something so silly as Slowrolling? Cmon... If you care about it, play slots or roulette then your loss will come as quickly as you want it to be...

[@sillsation4986]

always hit and run when the ROI makes sense sorry just basic math

[@MrTwister50]

What about holding your cards and hiding them during a hand? I play with a couple of folks that do this and I've wondered about the legality of it.

[@ryanonvr2267]

not illegal but poor etiquette.
