Robert Ciaffone’s “Robert’s Rules of Poker”

Robert Ciaffone is one of the world’s top poker experts, and his “Robert’s Rules of Poker,” which were first published in 1978, are still in use today. Ciaffone was a champion of the game and, at the time of publication, was a top advisor and rule drafter to the Poker Players Association and the Tournament Directors Association. His rules are considered to be the best in the business, and are used in nearly every cardroom.

Seating of new players

When the new player joins the table, he or she will be seated in the worst position. This seat may already be taken by another player, but the house reserves the right to reserve it for a new player.

Dead card

Dead cards are cards that cannot be dealt from the deck. The dead card rule is important for counting outs and pot odds. In some games, a card may become dead while it is exposed. In others, the card becomes dead at the time the player folds the hand or bets on a hole card with a Joker.

Dead collection blind

A dead card or hand is an unplayable card that cannot be legally played. In some poker games, a player can post a dead collection blind as an alternative to a seat rental. In some poker games, a player can also place dead money in the pot, which are chips that are not part of a player’s bet. This process is known as a deal. The dealer is the person who hands out the cards to each player, putting them on the board.

Angle shooting

Angle shooting is a poker term describing a practice where one player acts in a way that unfairly advantages his or her opponent. This practice is unethical and not in the spirit of the game. Angle shooters rely on misinterpretation by other players to exploit a situation. In some cases, the practice has even resulted in the banning of certain players from tournaments.
