Thoughts?

Some guys are mad keen to shake hands after either busting you or having been busted. I can't say I have really much cared for it either way. I will almost always shake hands with someone if they offer but am kind of just not bothered either way. Do I need to improve my etiquette or find some other question to post when I am bored?

Just wanted to canvass opinions

Not bothered either way, will always shake someones hand if they offer it and I don't have big reason not to. Have occasionally offered my hand if I like/ got on with the person who bust me.

They can all sod off, i want to stand up, say 'well played and good luck to everyone' and then go. It feels like a rub for the person who knocked you out to shake your hand. Would never refuse it though.

Some guy i played a big cash hand with was the perfect example, i'd been smashing up all night, we got in a 3k pot (big for me) and i got him to stick the lot in on hte turn with 2 outs, he jumps about screaming and fist pumping when he hits to stack me and then comes over for a hand shake, the very last thing in the world i wanted to do at that moment was shake the guys hand.

I think it's more appropriate when deep, when a guy takes me out in level 3 and goes to shake my hand I'm like err ok then.

Thought the youth of today would be more fist pumpers?

Yes, I would say how deep I get in a tourney and my inclination to shake my defeaters hand has a definite positive correlation. Some guys almost seem to think its the done thing for each bust out.  I also think when you know the person well and it's been a long tough genuinely enjoyable battle I am more likely to 'get' the handshake thing.

If I bust someone and they want to shake my hand fair enough.

If they bust me, they can GTFO.

All seems a bit pointless tbh.

I see poker as a challenge or even a battle . So would you shake hands with the guy who struck you down with his sword...... erm no.
Or i just handed £100 to the bookie for a bet, and I lost.... I better go and shake his hand for taking my money . all in all i would never offer my hand out to someone who i just knocked out, I think its an insult to them really. But if i was presented with a hand to shake then i would do it out of politeness of course.

but the fact you chose "disney songs on youtube" over HEM and then lost 12 bis when you know you should lose 4 maximum just shows a massive sign of disrespect

Can't say I remember having heard poker called a gentleman's game, but many other sports it's polite to shake the hand of your opponent win or lose. Can't say this should apply to cash games where there' no level playing field, but in tournament poker why not. Even had players wanting to shake my hand as a dealer when I'd dealt a horrid beat, it's just a recognised way of saying no hard feelings, it is after all a game like many others, and there's no reason to be a bad loser, a friendly handshake doe no harm, and that kind of atmosphere would I think make it more appealing to outsiders to come and play, adding value, and how can anyone not like that?

I feel worse if someone offers to shake my hand after they have busted me out, especially if i was ahead, never refuse it though.
