House Limits

The only difference between Fixed Limit poker, No Limit poker , and Pot Limit poker is the amount players can bet or raise when it is their turn to act. In Fixed Limit poker, the amount a player can bet is determined by the limits and the current betting round.

The rules for the amount a player can bet in No Limit is determined by the size of the blinds, the amount of chips bet by previous players in the current betting round, and the amount of chips the player has left.

In Pot Limit poker, the rules for determining the amount a player can bet are determined similarly to No Limit poker, except that there is a limit on the maximum bet determined by the size of the pot and the action in the current betting round.

Fixed Limit betting rules

Maximum bet / raise
In limit games the maximum bet or raise a player can make in the first and second betting rounds is equal to the amount of the low limit of the table (e.g. in a €1/€2 limit game, the bet players can make in rounds 1 and 2 is €1). In the third and fourth betting rounds, players can bet the value of the high limit (e.g. in a €1/€2 limit game, players can bet €2 in the third and fourth rounds).

Minimum bet / raise
The Minimum bet or raise a player can make is equal to the largest previous raise in the current betting round. If no bets have been made, then the minimum bet or raise is equal to the size of the big blind.

No Limit betting rules

Maximum bet / raise
The maximum bet or raise a player can make is an "all-in" bet. At any point when it is the player's turn to act, he can bet all the chips he has at the table.

Minimum bet / raise
At the beginning of each betting round, the minimum bet allowed is reset and starts at the size of the big blind.

The Minimum bet or raise a player can make is equal to the largest previous raise in the current betting round. If no bets have been made, then the minimum bet or raise is equal to the size of the big blind.

Under raises (all-in bets)
If a player does not have enough chips to make the minimum raise, but has more than it would cost to call, the player still has the option to make a raise by going "all-in".

Pot Limit betting rules

Maximum bet / raise
The maximum bet or raise allowed in Pot Limit is equal to the amount of chips in the pot so far in the current hand.
The calculation of the maximum raise allowed by a player includes the amount that the player must call before he raises.

Minimum bet / raise
The minimum bet or raise a player can make in Pot Limit is equal to the largest previous bet in the current betting round. If no bets have been made, then the minimum bet or raise is equal to the size of the big blind.

Multi Table Tournament Rules

All Multi Table Tournaments will begin at the time stated in the lobby.
Registration times for all tournaments are shown in the lobby.
Seats are randomly assigned and there will be no changes allowed.
At the start of the tournament, players will be randomly seated on each table.
The tournament ends when one player wins all of the chips in play.
When a player loses all of their chips, they are eliminated from the tournament.
If two or more players are eliminated in the same hand, the player with the most chips at the start of the hand will be placed higher. If the chips are tied then the player closest to the button will be placed higher.
Raises are not capped in No Limit or Pot Limit tournaments but during limit tournaments there is a maximum of a bet and 3 raises before the pot is capped except when the play gets heads up.
When play is heads up, (only 2 players remain) the player on the button will post the small blind and be first to act.
Tables are automatically balanced during a tournament.
Players may be moved to other tables to maintain the balance. If the player is moved into the Big blind position, this position is live and is in play immediately. Players who are moved into the small blind or button position will not be dealt into the hand until the button has passed them.
The button acts as a dead button when players are eliminated in blind positions and will not move until both blinds have been paid.
There are no deals between players allowed in any tournaments.
Hand for Hand dealing will be operated when player numbers approach the prize money positions, and for each subsequent change in the prize money until the final table is reached. This means that all hands will start at the same time and a new hand will not be dealt until all hands on all tables have been completed.
If a player has registered for a tournament and is not present at the start they will be blinded off and be deemed to have played in the tournament.
