Free Poker Stuff You Might Not Have heard About

I’m going to share some essential information for free poker players. You will probably know some of these facts but who knows I may surprise you.

A golden discipline was born following J Gold’s victory in the WSOP- the discipline is to never talk about any cards you or any opponents have. It may be hilarious if you manage to hit full house with a poor hand, but you won’t make any friends by doing this. On the contrary you will become very unpopular very quickly.

Also talking about things like what you think another player may have or may be doing is also very bad, you saying “oh that guy’s bluffing” could be an advantage to another player who doesn’t have this info or a large disadvantage if your read is wrong and the player makes the call based on your information.

A recent rule that may surprise you is the splash the pot rule and the two card limit rule. By splashing the pot means that you shouldn’t throw chips into the centre of the table. The two card limit rule means that you can not show just one card from your hand- you have to show both.

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.

The following is not a general rule, but you may be surprised that WSOP is not thought upon as a professional poker event. Ok I’m sure most readers are thinking- well surely P Helmuth is the champion right? Well not technically, as he will need to win another professional event which is non WSOP and he has already nearly achieved this; coming a margin behind the eventual winner this year.

Hopefully you found this article interesting and for us free poker players these rules should cause no issues!
