Another good rule to follow for poker etiquette, is the one player to a hand. Now this is actually a rule in casinos where another player can't show his cards to either a player at a table or a spectator to get advice on whether or not they should call a bet or raise. But, with the one player to a hand, a lot of the things you are looking at is just say we are at a regular home game, and I'm in the hand and I pick up my cards, and there is someone standing behind me, and I pick it up and I kind of show it to them or even a person beside me who has folded. The one player to a rule, or one player to a hand etiquette comes in where if that player does that and the person that I showed the cards to, maybe they give a reaction or a tell to the other players that I didn't want them to know. Whether I have a good strong hand and I'm trying to get more money into the pot, or whether maybe they give up a tell or reaction that wow that's a really crappy hand and you need to get rid of it. So, the one person to a hand rule or etiquette is a good rule to follow, because you don't want the other players at the table knowing what you are doing. And its also a rule in casinos where only one person can play the hand, you can't have more than person trying to give advice on the hand. So, only play your hand by yourself, and don't show it to anybody else while you are in the hand.
