A lesson that we can learn from Don Imus and the now infamous Reverend Wright is that our mouths can get us into a lot of trouble. What newer poker players don't often realize is that how they control their tongues can determine whether or not they will be welcome at a poker table.

At a casino not only will nobody be shocked at your theatrics, but the dealer will not allow your raise.
