Default Re: Question on ettiquette



Not being a professional poker player (like all of you), I still have a company to run.


So I need to have my cell on me at all times.


But I keep the ringer on vibrate, and never talk on it while actually seated at the table.


If I'm in the middle of a hand when I get a call, I disregard the call and call back after the hand is through.


If I'm seated yet not involved in the hand, I still get up and walk a few feet away, so as not to distract anyone's attention unduly.


Long and short of it is this: I don't like it when someone is sitting in my game talking on a cellphone. I don't think I can define all of the reasons for this feeling, but I can tell you that the feeling exists.


So I can only assume that the same feeling exists for some others. Hence, I take a few steps away from the table.


Damn, am I reasonable or what?!
