| HOUSE RULES |
| |
| The following rules apply when playing at BigSlick. |
| |
| BUYING CHIPS |
| |
| A facility to purchase chips will be offered
automatically when a seat is selected at any table. The
minimum or maximum buy in for any cash game will
be shown when purchasing your chips. Buy-in
amounts are based on the size of the game or the
blinds for that table. Chips purchased, while seated at
a table, will be subject to any limits for the table, and
any top ups will have to bring your balance up to at
least the minimum amount, but will not be allowed to
take your balance over the maximum should there be
one. At the completion of any hand should your table
balance be less than the big blind you will need to
purchase more chips to continue playing. |
| |
| DUMPING - PASSING CHIPS |
| |
| Deliberately losing chips to other players for whatever
reason will not be tolerated and WILL be picked up by
our collusion monitoring team and dealt with
accordingly. |
| |
| BETTING & RAISING (including the "under raise") |
| |
| In LIMIT play, an all-in wager of LESS than half the bet for that round, is considered an "under raise" and will be treated as a call for betting purposes. It does not reopen the action for any subsequent player who has already acted on their hand that round. |
| |
A player who has already acted and is now facing less
than half a bet can fold or call the wager. They may
not raise. |
| |
| An all-in wager of HALF THE BET OR MORE, but
still below the full amount, is treated as a full bet and
therefore considered a raise for betting purposes. A
subsequent player can fold, call or make a full raise
and any player, who had already acted prior to the "all
in" bet, also has the full range of options open to him. |
| |
| In NO-LIMIT or POT-LIMIT poker, an "all-in" raise
that is less than the bet or raise of the previous player
does not reopen the action for players who have
already acted on their hands. Any raise that is below
the amount needed for a legitimate raise will be
considered a call for betting purposes. Only players
still to act in the round will receive a full set of options. |
| |
| Any wager must be at least the size of the previous
bet or raise in any round UNLESS a player is going
"all in". |
| |
| PLAYING MULTIPLE TABLES |
| |
| Players may play more than one table at once with a
maximum of three tables open at any one time. Any
combination of cash or tournament tables may be
used. |
| |
| SHOW - /MUCK |
| |
| The show/muck option is designed to give players a
chance to show any hand that would not normally be
seen. This feature will remain on screen for a few
moments to enable a player, who has not checked
'auto muck', to display his hole cards when
appropriate. If not used within the time allowed, the
cards will be mucked automatically. |
| |
| PRE-SELECT OPTIONS BOX |
| |
| A set of PRE-SELECT options will appear at times
and can be used when so desired. Any option chosen
will only be implemented if still available when it is
your turn to act; otherwise your new game options will
be shown. For example if you agree to a call of $5
then that is the maximum you will have to pay to call.
If the call is now more expensive you will be shown a
new set of available choices. The PRE-SELECT
option box is designed to speed up play and save you
time, should you wish to act before it is your turn. |
| |
| SITTING OUT |
| |
When seated at a table a player has
the option to "Sit Out". To do this simply check the "Sit
Out" box. Once selected you will continue sitting at
the table but will not be dealt in. You will remain sat
out until you un-check the "Sit Out" box. Once
un-checked you will be dealt back in. |
| |
| If you remain in Sit Out mode for longer than 15
minutes you will be removed from the table and
returned to the lobby. |
| |
| We prevent players from entering and leaving (sitting
out) games where the position relative to the dealer
can bring advantage by requesting they post the
equivalent of the blind (known as a dead blind). |
| |
| No financial advantage will be gained by missing the
rotation of the blind. |
| |
| The sit-out function should only be used when wishing to miss a hand or hands for a genuine reason. Players should not abuse this function. Timely play - We understand that, occasionally, you may require some thinking time when playing. Please however consider the other players and try to make every effort not to slow up the progress of the game. Where possible, use the pre-select option boxes. |
| |
