The best five cards determine the winning hand.
Every game has a minimum buy-in. Short buys are not allowed.
Check and raise is permitted.
All games are “table stakes” meaning all chips must remain on the table and in play, until the player leaves the game. When cashing out, a player may not return to the same table for 60 minutes, unless he/she buys-in for at least the amount with which he/she had previously left.
A bet and three raises will be allowed each betting round in limit games. There will be an unlimited amount of raises in no-limit games.
If a betting round begins with only two players, there is no limit to the raises allowed.
No string bets allowed. In limit games if a player puts in half the required raise, he/she must complete the raise. In no limit or pot limit games, any amount less than a full raise will be considered a call, unless the player is all-in.
No splashing the pot.

Players may leave their seat for a maximum of 3 missed blinds. Upon the 4th missed blind or 45 minutes (whichever is time is greater) a player may be picked up. If a player has zero chips, they have 15 minutes to return. If there is no waiting list and no seat open, a player’s chips may be picked up in order to give the remaining players an opportunity to get a new player in the absent player’s seat. Management reserves the right to pick up players chips and open the seat to waiting players.

If more than one player remains in the round of play after the final betting round has been completed, a showdown shall be used to determine the winner of the pot.
Each player remaining in the game will turn their cards over and the dealer will read the cards to determine the highest-ranking five-card high poker hand using, in any combination, their own two cards and the five community cards.
The winner of the pot will be the player with the highest-ranking five-card high poker hand.
In the event of a tie the excess chip is awarded to the first player with cards, clockwise from the dealer Button.

In High-Low Split Eight or Better poker, the player with the highest-ranking five-card Poker hand and the player with the lowest-ranking five-card Poker hand, will divide the pot equally. If there is an extra $1, that chip will be given to the player with the High hand.
In Omaha High-Low Split Eight or Better poker, if none of the remaining players has a low-hand, the entire pot will be awarded to the player with the highest-ranking High Poker hand.
A player may form two different hands of five cards each, enabling that player to contend for both the High hand and Low hand share of the pot.
A player may use the same five-card grouping to make a High hand and a Low hand. An Ace may be used concurrently as a low-ranking card to satisfy a Low hand and as a high-ranking card to satisfy a High hand.
Each poker table shall be restricted to a maximum of eight players. Each player who plays in a round of play may be required to place an ante.
Starting with the first player to the left of the dealer and continuing in a clockwise rotation around the poker table, the dealer will deal two rounds of cards face down and one round of cards face up to each player.
Once each player has received three cards, the first betting round shall begin by comparing the up-card of each player. The player with the lowest card will start the betting round. In the event that two or more up-cards are of the same rank, the up-cards shall then be ranked by suit with the highest to lowest ranked suits in order as follows: Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, and Clubs.
Following the bet placed by the player with the low card, each following player, proceeding in a clockwise rotation, may fold, call or raise the bet. After the last player has responded to the most recent bet, the betting round is complete.
Upon completion of the first betting round, the dealer will bring the chips into the center of the table and burn the top card of the deck and place it under the pot.

The player with the highest-ranking poker hand showing will initiate the action by betting or checking. If the highest-ranking poker hand showing is held by two or more players, the player closest to the left of the dealer
shall be required to bet or check.
Following the initial bet or check, each subsequent player, proceeding in a clockwise rotation, may fold, call, raise or, if the preceding players have not made a bet, check. Each player may check until a bet has been made. Once a bet has been made, the next player in the clockwise rotation may fold, call or raise. After the last player has responded to the most recent bet, the betting round is complete.
The dealer will then deal two additional rounds of cards, face up, to each player remaining in the game. Each round will be followed by a betting round. Prior to each round of cards being dealt, the dealer shall burn the top card of the deck and place it under the pot.
If there are enough cards remaining in the deck/stub, each remaining player will be dealt a seventh and final card.
If there are not enough cards remaining in the deck to give each remaining player a seventh card, the dealer may shuffle the burn cards, burn a card, then deal a seventh card to each player. If there are not enough cards remaining including the burn cards to issue a seventh card, the top card of the deck shall be burned and a common card shall be dealt face up in the center of the table. If there is one or no card remaining in the deck when a common card is to be dealt, the dealer shall shuffle the burn cards, burn a card and then deal the common card.
If more than one player remains after the final betting round, a showdown will be used to determine the winner of the pot. Each player remaining in the game shall form a five-card poker hand from the seven cards that they were dealt. The winner of the pot will be the player with the highest ranking five-card high hand.
