Last time I taught you guys something about slowrolling. This time, let’s talk about celebrating when winning a hand.
When you won a pot, celebrating this should be done in a modest way. If you lose a hand and your opponent gets up, yells ‘YEAAH’ and high fives some of his friends you’re without doubt considerably irritated. Off course it’s all right to be happy when winning a hand, don’t get me wrong. You’re allowed to celebrate when winning an important hand in a tournament which doubles you up. You can for exemple say ‘Yes’ and make a fist, that way you keep it a bit discreet. If your aces stay up in an important hand or a big pot it’s normal there’s a certain amount of stress release. However, nobody is waiting for someone who gets on his chair en goes screaming. The rest of the room doesn’t care about you winning a hand !
Not celebrating is especially important when winning an all in with a hand that goes in as the worst hand. If you win with 
against 
, both all in preflop, DO NOT stand up and start yelling you’re the best. You don’t want to point attention to the fact that you trew everything in the pot with the worst hand and just go lucky. So again, out of respect, you just stay calm. Saying sorry doesn’t work eather cause you absolutely have no regret winning the hand. When your opponent looks at you after a sick showdown, often a polite nod for saying you got lucky does the trick.
Next time a final post about etiquette concerning Speeches!
, while the board is 
. More money can’t be put in the pot and still you’re waiting with your call while you know there’s no way you can lose. Doing so is extremely low, because you can give you opponent the idea he indeed has the winning hand. Why in godsname would you do such a thing?!
