The game will be
played by the rules according to Hoyle’s Modern Encyclopedia
of Card Games. All disputes will be settled by the dealer. All
disputes with dealer will be settled by the pit boss. The
pit boss’s decision is final. Please be considerate of others and help novice
players understand the rules. Any player caught cheating will be disqualified
from this and all future Lehigh related poker tournaments. Collusion
will not be tolerated.
The Rules and Specifics:
Each player will
start with $2000.00 worth of chips. Chips are
worth the following:
| White |
(20
chips to start) |
=
$5.00 |
(total
start value: $100.00) |
| Red |
(20 chips
to start) |
= $20.00 |
(total start
value: $100.00) |
| Blue |
(10 chips
to start) |
= $50.00 |
(total start
value: $100.00) |
| Black |
(10 chips
to start) |
= $100.00 |
(total start
value: $100.00) |
Big blinds will start
at $20 with a small blind at $10. Blinds
will be doubled every 20 minutes. Tables will be consolidated as
needed. Please be respectful of others. Remember, this is
a free tournament. Even if you don’t win, you cannot lose so have
fun and play nice.
Seating will be determined
by drawing cards. The person with the
high card is dealer. In the case that two of the same high cards
are dealt, the first high card is dealer.
The two players to
the left of the dealer are required to post “blind” bets
before seeing their cards. The 1st is the Small Blind (SB) and the 2nd
is the Big Blind (BB). If the SB is knocked out, the button essentially
goes into his/her empty seat. If the BB is knocked out, then the
BB moves on to the player who would have had it next and there isn’t
a SB on this hand (SB moves into the empty seat). On the following hand,
the button would wind up in the empty seat. The player who just had the
BB would have SB, and the BB moves on normally to the next player. The
dealer is responsible for making sure that all bets have been called
before dealing each round of card(s).
The Deal:
Deal occurs in this order:
1. Dealer deals two cards (one at a time) face down to each player.
2. Betting round 1 occurs.
3. Dealer burns one card and deals 3 cards (flop) in the middle of the
table face up.
4. Betting round 2 occurs.
5. Dealer burns one card and deals one card (turn/4th street) in the
middle.
6. Betting round 3 occurs.
7. Dealer burns one card and deals the final card (river/5th street).
8. Betting round 4 occurs.
Mucked cards cannot
be retrieved from the pile. If a card is exposed
during the deal, the deal is declared a misdeal and the hand is re-dealt.
The button does not move. If a burn card or a mucked card is exposed,
the card is show to the table. The hand is not re-dealt. If a community
card is exposed prior to the action being completed, the card remains
as is. It will not be burned. If there was a bet or raise on the
end, the person who made that last bet or raise shows his/her cards first.
If it's checked around, the first person to act (left of dealer) shows
first. If a player is shown a better hand, he is not required to
reveal his cards.
Check and raise is
allowed. The minimum bet is equal to the size
of the BB. The raise must always be at least the size of the BB. Any
player can bet all of their chips at anytime (ALL-IN). Betting
round one begins with the player to the left of the BB. All subsequent
betting rounds begin with the player to the left of the button. When
only two players are left sitting at the table, the BB is dealt to first,
the button acts first before the flop, and the BB acts first after the
flop. Please do not splash the pot. Stack your bets in front
of you and push them into the post after the betting round is complete. Announce
the size of your bet verbally. This will eliminate some confusion
that may occur with no limit betting. Do not bet, check, call, fold,
or raise out of turn. Any player who does so will be warned and
dismissed from play if inappropriate behavior continues. Any
player may be dismissed from the tournament if his / her behavior is
deemed to be disruptive by the pit boss.
If two players tie
for the high hand, the pot is split. If there is a split pot not equally
divisible
by the number of players in the hand,
the “extra” chips will be awarded to the player closest to the left of
the button. If two players get eliminated in the same hand, the person
who started the hand with the most chips gets the higher finish and awarded
the corresponding prize pool for that placement.
And most importantly, HAVE FUN!
