Hand shaking etiquette

[iversonian]

I think it's kinda silly that they all feel compelled to do it (it's just a poker tournament, for chrissakes), but...

At what point in a tourney does it become rude not to bother shaking hands when you bust out/bust someone else out?

[EWS87]

ive never shaken hands upon leaving a tournament in my life...or after busting someone unless he comes up to me and tries

[MaverickUSC]

Rock pound instead OBV.

Thats what I thought this thread was going to be about. I hate it when people that you know well refuse to shake your hand and give the fist instead. Damnit Daniel and your video blog last year!

It is rude if it looks like they were starting to get up or otherwise expecting the handshake.

[Dynasty]

If they offer their hand, you shake it. Otherwise, you're free to just walk away.

I usually ask their name and then shake their hand and wish the well. At least it gives me the opportunity to see if they ended up winning the entire thing. I think storming off early in the event isn't rude at all. I'd be a little steamed if I busted out before the 1st break.

[GSykes]

Yeah if they stick out there hand shake it if they dont leave

[Ckrad]

Final table of big event you should shake hands, unless you have a personal problem with the person. Final table is enough of an accomplishment where you should be able to put your anger aside for a minute.

Be a good sport. I always offer. Storming off is childish, regardless of the beat or level of the tournament.

So, is it bad form to tell people to go F*** themselves after you bust out?

Oh, and I always shake hands, but I don't offer, but I always make sure to wish the table the best and thank them for playing.

I shake hands when I bust someone or when I bust out at the final table. Other than that I only shake if they approach me. Otherwise when I bust I just stand up and say "Nice hand, good luck everyone."
