1. GENERAL RULES

  • ◆ 1.1. The game is conducted strictly according to the club rules. Any disputes are resolved based on this rulebook. If a game situation is not directly described in these rules, the decision is made by the dealer or the manager based on logic, principles of fair play, and established poker practice.
  • ◆ 1.2. The dealer's decisions are binding for all players. If a situation is disputed or unclear, the dealer stops the hand and calls the manager. The manager's decision is final.
  • ◆ 1.3. Each player is responsible for controlling their own cards, stack, and actions. Player mistakes are the responsibility of the player.
  • ◆ 1.4. Players must treat the dealer and other participants with respect. Insults, threats, and aggressive behavior are prohibited.

2. GAME PROCEDURE

  • ◆ 2.1. A verbal declaration of an action takes precedence over the movement of chips. The player must follow the declared action.
  • ◆ 2.2. Deliberate stalling of the game is prohibited. The dealer may place the player on a one-minute decision clock at their discretion.
  • ◆ 2.3. Any disputes related to a hand must be raised and resolved before the next hand begins. The start of a new hand means all players agree with the results and actions of the previous hand, and no further claims regarding it will be accepted.
  • ◆ 2.4. A player entering the game outside the big blind position must post a guest blind equal to the big blind. To enter immediately in the small blind position, the player must post both the small blind and the big blind. The player may also choose to wait for the big blind position.
  • ◆ 2.5. Running out the remaining board cards after the hand has ended is prohibited.
  • ◆ 2.6. Call-time is 3 hours. A player who is in profit must play the full call-time. A player who is losing or has no winnings may leave the game at any time.

3. CARDS AND SHOWDOWN

  • ◆ 3.1. The player on the button has the right to cut the deck. The deck remains in the dealer's hands and is not passed to the player.
  • ◆ 3.2. A player must protect their cards. If a player's cards touch the muck or become mixed with folded cards and cannot be clearly identified, the hand is declared dead.
  • ◆ 3.3. A player must keep their cards above the table.
  • ◆ 3.4. If a player reveals or exposes one or more of their cards before showdown (even accidentally), the hand is declared dead and the cards are folded. Exception: the player is all-in.

  • ◆ 3.11. If there were no bets in the final betting round, the player first clockwise after the button shows their cards first.
