General Game Rules
Individual Play
Poker is a game where Players play for their own interest. Partnerships or any kind of collusion
among Players is not permitted.
Minimum Buy-in:
| Fixed Limit: | 10 times minimum bet |
| Pot Limit: | 20 times minimum bet |
| No Limit: | 20 times minimum bet |
Table Stakes
There are low and high bets in each game. For example, in a $5/$10 game, the low bet is $5 and the
high bet is $10.
Leaving and Returning to a Game
If you leave a game and return to that game in less than sixty minutes, you start the new game with
the same stakes as when you left.
Note: If you leave one game to play in another game and lose, you may return to the first game and
play at a lower limit bet. For more information on playing at a lower limit bet, see the section
All-in.
All-in
If you do not have enough chips to bet during a hand, you are not forced to place the full bet amount.
You must put all of your chips into the pot - this is known as calling all-in. All-in indicates that
all your remaining chips are put into the pot. You then contend for the pot in an amount proportional
to the chips you put in. The game play that continues among other Players is put into a side pot.
The all-in Player has no share in this pot.
Players may only have one all in per day.
To request more all-ins, you will need to:
- Right-click the table graphic. A pop-up menu is displayed.
- Select the Request all-in reset option. Your all-in limit is reset to the default limit.
Checks and Raises
Checking and raising is permitted in all games.
Bets and Raises
No raises are allowed once the betting is capped. Players may only call or fold.
Blinds and Posts
Blind bets are used to start the game play. The Player to the immediate left of the Dealer posts the
small blind. The next Player to the left posts the big blind. The small blind is half of the lower
betting limit. The big blind is a full bet at the lower betting limit. For example, in a $10/$20 game,
the small blind is $5 and the big blind is $10.
- When new Players enter a game they are given a choice to post now or wait for the big blind.
If a Player decides to wait, they receive no cards until it is their turn to play the big blind.
If they decide to post, they bet the equivalent of one big blind, and receive cards immediately.
- Both the big blind and post are considered live blinds. So, the Player who posted the small
blind must equalize the betting once the new Player has posted the equivalent of one big blind.
- Players who sit out and then sit in again, must either wait for the big blind to reach them
again before receiving cards, or post a big blind.
Exposing Hands at Showdown
- All active hands are automatically shown at the showdown unless a Player has previously clicked
the Muck Losing Hands option.
- All called hands at the showdown are available for viewing to any Player in the PlayCheck readout
of a hand.
- Players who win a pot without a showdown are given the option to show or muck their hand. Uncalled
winning hands that are mucked are not available for viewing in the PlayCheck readout.
Sitting Out
Players can leave the table for a few hands by clicking the Sit Out button.
Note: You are removed from a table if you sit out for more than fifteen minutes or have missed two
rounds of blinds.
