Etiquette Row

Don't Splash the Pot
There is a reason

Make sure not to splash the pot. The reason that players aren't supposed to is because you could potentially toss in fewer chips. Other players at the table don't want to worry about that. The best way to present a bet is in a neat stack in front of you.

Poker Players Turn Back Minnesota's Online Gaming BanNot all news is bad on the poker front. Thanks to a coordinated effort between the Minnesota PPA members and a legal challenge brought by iMEGA, the state’s Department of Public Safety (DPS) turned 180 degrees from its ill-conceived directive ordering ISPs to block access to Internet poker, casino gaming, and sport betting sites. Over the course of a few short weeks, PPA members in Minnesota flooded their elected officials and DPS with phone calls and emails decrying this outrageous government intrusion on the right to play poker and the freedom of the Internet.

Responding to the iMEGA legal challenge and to PPA member outrage, last week DPS rescinded its order, recognizing its legal and public policy failings. The most encouraging outcome was their stated desire to explore opportunities to regulate Internet poker and gaming, and not to continue with the ill-advised attempt at a prohibition. John Willems, head of the department's Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division (AGED), stated, "I believe it may be more appropriate to resolve this problem by working to create clear and effective governmental policies concerning regulation of gambling."
