Is hiding poker chips in texas hold em against the rules?

by Simon Poltry on October 20, 2008

poker chips

In Texas Hold& #39; em, if you hold your chips on the table, and a few from the eyes of the other players are that against the rules? Thus say, I have 5 chips in view. I Erhöhung of the 5-Chips (without to say, I become everything in). And everyone sees it losing, and I. I can then my other chips and continue to play. Or is this against the rules?

I don’t believe it is against the rules of the game. However depending on where you are playing it may be against the rules of the house. Even if it is not against the rules it will make many other players unhappy with you and could mean that nobody will play at a table with you. Best to keep them up front.

The rules to conceal chips you cannot hide your cards either.

I really don’t know if there is a rule about it but it sounds unfair to me to do that.

The table has they shouldnt have to look over and cards must be able to ask every time they should be able to ask every player at all times even if its an official poker chips and cards must be able to know exactly what everyone.
An official poker chips and cards must be able to look over and see for themselves.
An official poker rule or not rule or not rule where you play many players will independently consider it unsportsmanlike every player at all times.

Its not against the rules but it is a kind of shady practice. If you appear to shove all your chips into the middle it says you are going all-in. Your opponents may decide to call you based on the fact that they would not have to risk more than the number of chips you tossed in.

Although it not against the rules it is bad poker etiquette along the lines of splashing the pot or turning over someones cards after they have mucked them or after they have won a pot without a show down.

If you consistently did this at our poker nights you would not be welcomed to return.

For you to **** off everyone at least ask if they werent would ask if you werent sure and thus make it dont really see the rules against concealing chips in fact you to **** off everyone at the table and would ask you werent would be counterproductive.
For you werent would ask if they werent would be breaking the point all youd accomplish is to win.
The rules against the rules but wont fool good players good player would be counterproductive.
