Poker is a social game with a community of its own. Throughout the centuries poker players have developed a certain set of rules on how to behave at a poker table.
Members of the gaming community who constantly contravene these rules are not welcome and in some cases are seriously punished for their inappropriate and unaccepted actions.
Although online poker behavioral code is very similar to the one live poker players are required to honor, there are still some differences of paramount importance.
While many players prefer brick-and mortar casinos because they can see their opponents, gauge their reactions, and enjoy the social interaction that is so much a part of the game, most players eventually find their way to an online poker room for any number of reasons.
They may not live near a brick-and-mortar casino. They might not be able to carve out a big enough block of time to travel back and forth to a casino, and perhaps they aren’t quite comfortable in a live poker room.

Poker is a game full of personalities and characters, people who are never shy on giving an opinion. Here we’ve gathered together some of our favourite quotes, some by poker players and some which we think are just worth thinking about the next time you are at the table!
While hundreds of western movies and gunfighter ballads have convinced the world that poker is a quintessentially American game, its roots go back hundreds of years before the Wild West. The Persians were said to play a poker-like game centuries ago.
If you don’t keep records, how will you know whether you’re successful or not? The truth is, without accurate records, you’ll never know how good a player you are.
Sit and Gos can either be single table or multi table tournaments. The essential difference between a sit and go and an ordinary tournament is that a sng will start when a set number of players are seated unlike a usual mtt (multi table tournament) which will start at a set time regardless of the number of players. Most sngs are 1 table with the top 3 in the money with the breakdown being 1st-50%, 2nd-30% and 3rd-20%. This is of course based on the number of players being either 9 or 10 depending on the site and as these are the most common forms of sng I will concentrate on these.
