All normal poker rules and poker etiquette will apply to all tournaments.
Any disputes on the night, the TD’s decision is final, the TD will be macacan.
Rules to note:
Any player not at his/her seat when the first card is dealt will be folded.
Any player showing their cards to another player or person watching then that hand will be declared dead.
Any player stating what thier hand is and it turns out that they are holding cards of what they said then thier hand will declared dead.
Any decisions made by the TD will be for the good of the game and in his opinion the fairest.
It has now become normal for players to leave the table knowing that their hand will be folded when it is on them to act.
At the moment there is no rule on this but can all players remember this is not fair to other players, It is still like playing out of turn and might give someone an advantage.
Dates of poker nights can be changed to suit majority.
