Tournament Rules
| # | Rule Title | Rule |
| 1 | Floor People | Floor people are to consider the best interest of the game and fairness as the top priority in the decision-making process. Unusual circumstances can on occasion dictate that decisions in the interest of fairness take priority over the technical rules. The floor person's decision is final. |
| 2 | Chip Race | When it is time to color-up chips they will be raced off with a maximum of one chip going to any player. The chip race will always start in the No.1 seat. A player cannot be raced out of a tournament: a player who loses his or her remaining chip(s) in a chip race will be given one chip of the smallest denomination still in play. Players are encouraged to witness the chip race. |
| 3 | Odd Chips | The odd chip(s) will go to the high hand. In flop, games when there are two or more high hands or two or more low hands the odd chip(s) will go to the left of the button. In stud games, the odd chip will go to the high card by suit. However when hands have identical value (e.g., a wheel in Omaha/8) the pot will be split as evenly as possible. |
| 4 | Side Pots | Each side pot will be split separately |
| 5 | Calling for a Clock | Once a reasonable amount of time has passed and a clock is called for, a player will be given a maximum of one minute to make a decision. If action has not been taken before time expires, there will be a 10-second countdown. If a player has not acted by the time the countdown is over, the player's hand will be dead. |
| 6 | Dead Button | Tournament play will use a dead button. |
| 7 | Penalties and Disqualification | A penalty MAY be invoked if a player exposes any card with action pending, throws a card off the table, violates the one-player-to-a-hand rule, or similar incidents take place. Penalties WILL be invoked in cases of soft play, abuse, or disruptive behavior. Penalties available to the TD include verbal warnings and "missed hand" penalties. A missed hand penalty will be assessed as follows: The offender will miss one hand for every player, including the offender, who is at the table when the penalty is given multiplied by the number of rounds specified in the penalty; for the period of the penalty the offender shall remain away from the table. Tournament staff can assess one-, two-, three-, or four-round penalties or disqualification. A player who is disqualified shall have his or her chips removed from play. Repeat infractions are subject to escalating penalties. |
| 8 | At Your Seat | A player must be at his or her seat by the time all players have been dealt complete initial hands in order to have a live hand. Players must be at their seat to call time. |
| 9 | Face Up | All cards will be turned face up once a player is all-in and all betting action is complete. |
| 10 | Raise Requirements | If a player puts in a raise of 50% or more of the previous bet but less than the minimum raise, he or she will be required to make a full raise. The raise will be exactly the minimum raise allowed. In no-limit and pot limit, an all-in bet of less than a full raise does not reopen the betting to a player who has already acted. |
Cash Game House Rules
- Minimum buy in to sit at a cash table is $20.
- All bets and raises must be in increments of $2.00 or $4.00 depending on table limits.
- Three raises are allowed on any betting round. After three raises, the betting is said to be capped.
- Straddle bets are allowed in limit holdem.
- No String Bets are allowed.
- We collect a house rake of 10% up to $6.00 (depending on table limits) from all cash games.
- A player must be present at the table or ask to be dealt in to receive cards.
- A players hand may be considered dead if they release their cards any time during the hand. A players hand will be dead if they release their cards when facing a bet. It is the players responsibility to protect their own cards.
- If the dealer exposes one card (it becomes the first burn card) and give the last card to the player whose card was exposed. If a dealer exposes the very first card to the small or big blind, or exposes two cards, it is considered a misdeal and the hand is re-dealt.
- At no time, in the middle of a hand, is a player allowed to reach into their pocket to buy more chips. The player must play the hand out with the chips he/she has on the table.
- Verbal statements such as fold, call, raise, check are binding.
- Action out of turn will be binding in turn, unless a skipped player changes the action, or the player was misled into believing it was their turn to act by the dealer or another player.
- All games are table stakes. All chips must remain in play until a player leaves the game.
- No splashing the pot.
- Do not talk over or announce possible hands created by the board. Cards speak for themselves.
- A player may not use a cellular phone, text-messaging device, or other communication device at the table.
- No Tobacco products of any kind including chewing tobacco may be used in the Poker Room.
- Any player dealt into the hand may ask to see any called hand at the showdown.
- Any player, who sees a dealer preparing to award a pot to the wrong player, has an ethical obligation to alert the dealer.
- Only English is to be spoken at the tables between players, or players and spectators, while a hand is in play.
- No foul language, throwing of cards, chips or otherwise rude behavior will be tolerated.
- All decisions by management are final. We will maintain a zero tolerance policy with regards to abusive behavior.
