Top Poker Rooms

I know this bunch of guys, about 7 or 8 of them, all of them lifelong friends. They have (unofficial) a poker club, and they call themselves the Pravila Boys, sometimes the Pravila Club. Since there is nobody in the group that I consider as a very close friend, I never asked what Pravila is. Hey, it's a live and let live generation, the word could be a curse for all I knew. The funny thing about these guys, they go out of their way to irritate opponents (at the poker tables), to anger the dealers, and to be obnoxious- short of engaging in fistfights. (Just to throw it in, 1 of them is a very good card counter, but he only does his counting schemes outside the country). I know this bunch of guys, about 7 or 8 of them, all of them lifelong friends.

Well, I will give you the standard, MAINSTREAM etiquette bits for poker play, those that you are doing (I hope), and right after each, the Poker Pravila version (meaning, what they advocate and preach and practice). Poker Etiquette: avoid playing slowly, this would be a turn off to many players. Poker Pravila: Turn them off as often as possible. Fact is, the standard line of Madd (one of them) is 'Hey, ease up on me, I'm a newbie'- which he is anything but. He has been playing poker already when Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant were still the Kings of Wrestling. Poker Etiquette: the table is not a place for personal hygiene, meaning, do not do your nails during the game. Poker Pravila: save time, why use up precious minutes shaving in the morning when you can do it while waiting for your turn? Poker Etiquette: DO NOT SPILL your drinks on the table. Poker Pravila: 'Why should we care- is a frequent line of these boys. They say that if they are so very clean and conscientious, and if all gamblers in the House would be so clean and conscientious, then the maintenance cleaning guys would not have anything to do. We are actually making sure he keeps the job> their line.
