The rules for poker are managed by the professional Tournament Directors Association (or Poker TDA). The organization was founded by David Lamb, Matt Savage, and Linda Johnson in 2001. Members include managers of large live poker rooms, circuits, and independent tournaments. The Poker TDA meets twice a year at a summit to review rules and develop new ones. WSOP Tournament Director Jack Effel sits on its board. The rules of poker have evolved over the years to reflect the popularity of the game and the evolving needs of poker players.

The philosophy and policy behind the rules are to ensure that every player plays according to the rules. While the rules are not completely final, they are generally accepted as a guide to ensure that the game remains fair and enjoyable for everyone. Listed below are some of the main aspects of poker etiquette.
