A Poker Tournament Blind Structure
B Poker Tournament Blind Structure
E Poker Tournament Blind Structure
- • English is the only language permitted to be used at the poker table at any time.
- • Only players who are at the poker table are permitted to place wagers at the game. Once a player has placed a wager and received cards, the player must remain at the table until the completion of the round of play or until forfeiting their hand.
- All live games follow the rules of Table Stakes:
- • No short buys are permitted.
- • A player may only add to their chips between rounds of play and may not remove any of their chips from the poker table at any time during ongoing play (except for food and/or drinks).
- • A player cannot use chips out of their pocket after a hand has started.
- • A player may not add chips if it would exceed the maximum buy-in.
- • Once a player has left the game for minimum of one hour, they become a new player and the min/max buy-in rules for the table apply. Min/max buy-ins are posted at each table.
- Dead hands:
- • At the showdown, a hand is killed by being brought into the muck pile by the dealer in a way that makes them unidentifiable, being mixed with other down cards or by being retrieved by another player.
- • Players must always protect their hands, including at showdown while waiting for the hand to be read.
- • A player who leaves the table without comment and has an unprotected hand is assumed to be folding if anyone bets.
- • A player who is not at the table for showdown and has left their hand unprotected is assumed to have no interest in the pot, and the hand may be mucked.
- • Players must be at their seat when the last card hits the button. “At your seat” means in arms reach of your chair.
- • A player who depletes their funds on the poker table prior to the completion of the round of play will be deemed to be “all-in”. An “all-in” player will retain financial interest in the outcome of the round of play but will only be eligible to win the amount of the pot to which they contributed and continue to receive any cards to which they would normally be entitled. Betting will continue unimpeded among the other players by generating a separate secondary pot(s), which only those players will be eligible to win.
- • A player with no chips, who request a hand and looks at it without specifying the amount being played, must play exactly the amount of the minimum buy-in for that hand.
- • Any action out of turn, whether verbal or physical, will be binding in turn unless a skipped player subsequently changes the action, or unless the player acting out of turn was misled into believing it was their turn to act by the dealer or another player.
- • A player who announces a bet or raise of a certain amount but places a different amount of chips in the pot will be required to correct their bet or raise to the announced amount.
- • A player has the right to assemble chips in front of them before acting, a player will be considered to have placed a bet if the player:
- • Pushes assembled chips forward over the line on the table.
- • Pushes chips forward to indicate the intent of placing a bet.
- • Releases chips into the pot, releases chips at a sufficient distance from the player and towards the pot to make it obvious that it is intended as a bet.
- • Players who come across the line with chips in their hand before stating raise will only be allowed to bet what is in their hand. Players must state the amount of the raise or come across the line with the entire amount of the raise.
- • String bets will not be permitted; a player will not be permitted to make a bet and thereafter attempt to increase the amount of that bet.
