The skills that a player uses in stud include his remembering what other cards have been dealt face up, his ability to figure out each player’s potential and his ability to guess at others’ hidden cards based on their betting and behavior. If a player or bystander helps a player, their combined observations and memories are greater than that available to others and make the game unfair.
For the same reason, a player should never reveal or talk about his hole cards while he is playing or after he has folded.
The greatest dishonesty in poker involves two or more players who through words, expressions or secret signs help each other to win.

NO!!, giving lessons or advice at the table is forbidden and is grounds for immediate expulsion from the game!,the rule is “one player per hand” don’t give an active player advice during the play of a hand, you’ll either anger that player or other at the table.

Take care

this is a no-brainer. each player has to play their own hand, and let the others play theirs. how would you feel if the others coached someone into beating you. its best to set limits on “help” if its a friendly game and keep quiet at a cardroom or casino. part of learning the game is making your own decisions and living with the results. Good luck!

No you can not do so, one of the rules of poker is one player to a hand. The dealer nor anyone at the table is allowed to help you with your hand. In low limit, the dealer will call out possible straights and flushes, but they can’t help with the play of the hand nor can any other players.

No, you shouldn’t talk about any hand until it is over. If you are in the game you cannot help each other out. It is called cheating and working together. If someone is playing, they have to depend on their own skills and knowledge. You wouldn’t want other players to help out someone else.

Just keep your mouth shut. You don’t want to **** off other players and stuff. If you are involved at the table, it is best to just stay out of it. Things could get ugly!
