Club Rules

|
The club only works if we are all likeminded and working toward our goals of building friendships, learning quality poker skills and enjoying the fellowship of shared memories. To this end, the club needs members that are interested and active. Club Requirements: 1. All members MUST attend half of the monthly events (6) per year. Special dispensation may be requested based on individual circumstances. 2. All members MUST respond to the monthly “Evite” This is the MOST basic requirement! Read the email and respond (YES) or (NO) so we can prepare the poker room, set up tournament tables, chips, cards and know how much food to buy for everyone. If you cannot perform this basic task, you are in the wrong club. Please resign your membership. The finalized “Evite” will be printed out event night and that list will be the check-in sheet. Members not on that “Evite” list WILL NOT PLAY that night. 3. All new members must be sponsored by a current member in good standing and voted into the club by the executive board. *An executive board member must sponsor anyone who has lost membership and wishes to rejoin. Code of Conduct: The Poker School Club Executive Board will maintain a pleasant environment for all our members. We have established a code of conduct, and may deny the use of our club to anyone who violates it. The one rule we have always had from day one is “No Assholes Allowed” and this has served us very well over the years. The board will not hesitate in banning mean or aggressive players. The following is not permitted: - Verbally or physically threatening any member. - Throwing, tearing, bending, or crumpling cards. - Destroying or defacing property. - Using an illegal substance. Proper Poker Etiquette: The following actions are improper, the clubs purpose is to educate our members please take note. - Deliberately acting out of turn. - Deliberately splashing chips into the pot. - Agreeing to check a hand out when a third player is all-in. - Reading a hand for another player at the showdown before it has been placed face up on the table. - Telling anyone to turn a hand face up at the showdown. - Revealing the contents of a live hand in a multi handed pot before the betting is complete. - Needlessly stalling the action of a game (AKA - The Gavin Rule). - Deliberately discarding hands away from the muck. Cards should be released in a low line of flight, at a moderate rate of speed (not at the dealer's hands or chip-rack). - Stacking chips in a manner that interferes with dealing or viewing cards. - Making statements or taking action that could unfairly influence the course of play, whether or not the offender is involved in the pot. |
