Chips:
|
For those of you who have to know, think of a point as being equivalent to a penny.
Dealer pays (anties) a blue chip before dealing. After dealing, deal moves to the left. You may not sit out your deal unless you match the Blue chip paid by the person to your left who will then deal.
We generally start with chips worth a total of 1000 points.
Max bet/raise is 35 points for any game except blackjack. See below for Blackjack exceptions.
Max three raises per round: 3 (initial bet, then 3 raises). So player 1 could bet a white chip (initial bet), player 2 could raise a white (raise 1) to a bet of 2 white chips, etc. The maximum bet for one round would be 35 *4 or 140 points.
The player can call any hand desired as long as that hand is valid. However, until the cards are mixed, the player may change the declared hand. If there is any issue as to the hand, the “cards speak for themselves.” However it is up to the player to recognize the better hand to call.
Any player who has folded or been dealt out of the hand, may not encourage the other players to either bet, pass, or fold unless requested by the active player.
Games that involve “wild” cards are not allowed. Don’t even bother asking. However, we always like learning new games that don’t involved wild cards.
The dealer calls the game. The dealer deals one hand (except for Blackjack) and then the deal passes to the left.
Players may not look at their cards UNTIL AFTER the game has been called by the dealer. You just have to be patient while he deals the cards.
It is the players responsibility to make sure that they understand what game has been called and the rules for that game. If you don’t know, ask us. And please don’t get frustrated because you bet incorrectly when you didn’t understand the rules.
If all players fold, then the pot remains on the table for the next deal. The deal passes to the left and the new dealer will still need to pay one blue chip prior to dealing.
When playing Blackjack, the dealer may specify the maximum bet. If no maximum is specified, then it will stay at 35 points. In addition, the dealer may run through the deck two times before having to pass the deal to the left.
If there is a dispute, the house (Frank or Fletcher) will make a unilateral decision to resolve the issue. Where possible, Hoyles book of card games will be used. If Hoyles does not cover the issue and there are no other instruction manuals that do, then they will make a non contestable decision.
