Elements Of Poker Etiquette
Published: 2005-12-11
 Acting in Turn
Although you may see others fold or call out of turn, don't do it yourself. It is considered rude because it gives an unfair advantage to the players before you who have yet to act. This is especially important at the showdown when only three players are left. If players after you are acting out of turn while you decide what to do, say "Time!" to make it clear that you have not yet acted.
Handling Cards
You may find it awkward at first to peek at your own cards without exposing them to others. Note that the other players have no formal obligation to alert you to your clumsiness, although some will. Watch how the other players manage it and emulate them. Leave your cards in sight at all times; holding them in your lap or passing them to your kibitzing friend is grounds for killing your hand.
Finally, if you intentionally show your cards to another player during the hand, both your hands may be declared dead. Your neighbor might want to see *you* declared dead :) if this happens!

Likewise there was a huge influx of new players and publicity derived from the amazing celebrity images and stories taken from the WMA’s.
Gauging the popularity and seeing the demand and potential for entertainment the committee of the prestigious American Music Awards contacted CelebPoker.com to come back to Los Angeles and provide poker for the event. A poker table, chips. Cards and even a live online game were displayed and the action was heavy for 2 solid days.

While Carter was pulling an all-bluff online there were fellow band mates receiving a poker lesson at the table.
