How to play poker

There are many advices on how to behave in the online casinos. They all tell you how to avoid getting into the blacklist. We'll tell you – how to get into the blacklist. And you yourself will work out your own Ethic Code.
I hope that when playing online poker you'll remember these advices as the examples of really unpleasant behavior and will never follow them:

1. Speak Chinese! So that nobody will understand you. If it is an English site – use Spanish language (it’s an example, if you know Esperanto – use it too). It’s suspicious enough to attract site manager’s attention.

2. Always use abusive language to communicate with the other players. They are there to play or to win some money. Don’t let them enjoy it.

3. Advertise your business. If you have a personal business – promote it in chat! It’s very cheap – why miss a chance? There is an opinion that those who play online poker usually have money to burn.

4. Create many accounts on your computer: for yourself, for your mother, for your mother-in-law, for your friend and for your dog. Be sure that the manager of the site will “catch” you and lock your account.

5. Be angry if a floor manager (who provides live help) doesn’t appear at once. Of course, he can be busy with the other players, but if you want to be known as bad mannered – don’t care about it.

6. Hurry your opponents to act… in a rude tone, of course. Don’t forget: you want to get to the blacklist.

7. Be the last minute player. In case site has a time limit for making a decision – act in the last minute, even if you can act immediately.

8. Criticize everything you see: especially the site where you’re playing, this will make you the most undesirable person on the site.

9. Always try to influence other players in chat: it’s a fast way to spoil your reputation.

10. Ask for e-mails in chat and give your own… this is a chance for you to be noticed by the manager of the site and for your account to be closed.

11. Never warn the site manager if you’re going to change your usual particular location.

12. Your best friends in that struggle for a place in the blacklist are:
- Cheating
- Collusion
- Fraud

13. Improve you play-money ranking. I’ll tell you how: make a partnership with somebody (your friend), let him raise to the maximum and then… fold in order to give him the pot.
