Being gracious on the poker table:
Hold'em is a great game to learn. Enjoyment comes quickly especially when you are winning. If you are losing- are you still enjoying the game? If you enter a Hold'em game, you will see a lot of emotion- there will be a lot of excitement and annoyance. A tip for all players, try not to show too much emotion- when winning or losing. Too much emotion effects the mood of the game and can make the game awkward and less enjoyable. Be a good sport, hide your emotions and be a good sport and be gracious on the table!
