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?!
