Here are a few things that I am not sure that all free poker players know but they should know.
When Jamie Gold won the WSOP a rule came into effect into the poker community. That is not to talk about your hand or anyone's hand for that matter. If you hit a full house with your junk hand you may feel its funny and information others may find funny but if the hands is still going on many players will become upset very fast.
This rule extends further than your own hand and is also true if you decide to start playing mind games by calling opponents 'bluffs' or declaring their good hands. You must remember for every action there is a reaction, and if this reaction deters a player from going all in when they could have won or they go all in believing someone is 'bluffing' when they're not- well you don't need me to tell you that you will be as popular as a soft drink on stag do!
Another thing players may not know is that it is also a rule now that you can no longer show only one card from your hand. If you show one you must show both. Also do not "splash the pot", what this means is don't throw you chips into the middle of the table.
When betting always stack your chips neatly in front of you just past the line that should be marked around the table so that everyone can see and count exactly what you bet/called.
This is not a rule but just some news that many have not heard yet and that is the WSOP is no longer considered a professional poker event and will no longer be broadcast. I know what your all thinking but no that doesn't mean that Phil Helmuth is now considered a bum but it does mean that he will need to win another professional event in something other then the WSOP and he came very close this year.
Hopefully you found this article interesting and for us free poker players these rules should cause no issues!
