The game of Poker presents an interesting paradox. It has long been alued to be able to conduct yourself like a gentleman (or lady) at the table. But the ery nature of the game is sheer warfare, with chips as bullets. Your focus must be on gutting everyone at the table if given the chance, with no apologies required or requested. As Doyle Brunson writes in "Super System", he sits down at every poker table with the intention of absolutely destroying it. But you'll not find a more graceful cardshark.
So, if you have the ability to say, "Please", "Thank you", and "Nice hand" with a smile on your face, even as you prepare to thrust your dagger deep into your opponent's entrails, you shoud be a pretty good poker player. Civility is for bridge. Good manners served with bad intentions are for the righteous poker table.
