Players must sign in before taking their seat at the table.
Each player is then given
4 red 500 chips, 8 white 1000 chips, & 2 blue 5000 chips. Players must check
blue chips for the bounty chip. The bounty player then receives an additional
blue 5000 chip. The dealer then awards bonus chips to each player. Players
then tip their dealer at the beginning of each table. Our
dealers work strictly on tips and are not employees of the bar or Phat Ace
Poker. The dealer then deals one card face up to each player and the first ACE
or highest card will get the dealer button. The person immediately to the
left of the dealer button is the small blind and the next player to the left will be
the big blind. The game starts with 500 for small blind, 1000 for big blind. Both blinds must immediately ante up their blind amounts.
The small blind is then dealt the first card by the dealer.
In rotation, Two cards are dealt face down to every player. The person seated at the left of
the big blind will start the bidding. They have the option to fold, or bet. The
players must announce aloud if they fold, check, call, bet, raise, or all-in. If
they do not say aloud their decision, the dealer determines the appropriate command. For Example:
If a player bets 2000, and the next player just throws 5000 to the middle
without saying raise, the dealer throws 3000 chips back to him/her and declares
the play is a call of 2000. You must announce your decisions.
The minimum bet is the amount of the big blind. However, they may choose to bet a larger
amount. The next person to the left may choose to fold, call, or raise. Every raise
must be double the original bet or larger. Betting continues around to every
player in order. Once all players have made their choice, three cards are turned
face up in the middle of the table. This is called THE FLOP.
The player closest to the dealer button to the left is first to act. They may choose
to fold, check, or bet. When all remaining players have made a choice, an
additional card is turned face up in the middle of the table. This is called
THE TURN.
The player closest to the dealer button to the left is first to act.
They may choose to fold, check, or bet. When all remaining players have made
a choice, an additional card is turned face up in the middle of the table. This is
called THE RIVER.
The player closest to the dealer button to the left is first
to act. They may choose to fold, check, or bet. When all remaining players have
made a choice, a winner is determined.
The winner is determined by using the
two cards dealt to each player, plus three additional cards out of the five showing
face up in the middle of the table. From highest to lowest:
Royal Flush, Straight Flush, Four of a Kind, Full House, Flush, Straight,
Three of a Kind, Two Pair, One Pair, High Cards. See examples on the right
Play is continued by sliding the dealer button one place to the left.
Raising the Blinds:
Small Blinds are always raised every 4th hand dealt and the Big blind is always twice the amount of the small blind.
When it is time to raise the first blinds, ALL red 500 chips are exchanged for white 1000
chips and ALL RED chips are removed from the table.
At this point, NO new players may enter the game.
The small blind is now 1000 & the big blind is now 2000. The next blind raise will be 2000 small blind & 4000 Big Blind, 3000 & 6000. At this stage, the next blind raise will be 5000 for the small blind & 10,000 for the Big Blind. ALL white 1000
chips are exchanged for blue 5000 chips and ALL WHITE chips are removed from the table.
Once there are only
two players with chips on the table, there will be a 7 hand limit to win the game.
One card is dealt face up to each player.
High card is small blind and big blind gets the dealer button. Small blind is first
to act. The winner will determined when one player wins all of the other players chips, or after 7 hands, whoever has the most chips.
In the extreme event of a tie, one sudden death hand will be played.
