Rules

Make the best five-card hand. Rankings are royal/straight flush, four of a kind, full house, flush, straight, three of a kind, two pair, pair, then high card.

No-Limit Hold’em

Each player gets two private cards. Five community cards arrive as flop (3), turn and river. Use any five of the seven available cards. Check, call, bet, raise or fold; an all-in player can win only the pots they covered.

Pot-Limit Omaha

Players receive 4, 5 or 6 private cards according to the selected game. A final hand must use exactly two private cards and exactly three board cards. A raise cannot exceed the current pot-sized maximum.

Pineapple

Three private cards; everyone discards one before the first betting round, then the hand plays exactly like Hold’em.

Short Deck Hold’em (6+)

Hold’em with a 36-card deck (no 2–5). A flush beats a full house, and A-6-7-8-9 is a straight (the ace plays below the six).

Omaha Hi-Lo (8 or better)

Pot-Limit Omaha where the pot splits between the best high hand and the best qualifying low — five different ranks, all eight or lower, aces low, straights and flushes ignored. Use exactly two hole cards for each half. No qualifying low: the high hand scoops. Odd chips go to the high side.

Five-Card Draw

Five private cards, a betting round, then one draw — swap any number of cards (or stand pat) — and a final betting round. Best five-card hand wins.

Badugi

Four cards and three draws, betting between each. Lowest wins with the crucial twist: only cards of different suits and ranks count. A four-card badugi beats any three-card hand; A-2-3-4 of four suits is perfect.

Seven-Card Stud · Razz · Stud Hi-Lo

No community cards: two down cards and one up, then three more up cards and a final down card, betting after each. Everyone antes; the lowest door card posts the bring-in (Razz: the highest). Betting is fixed limit — the small bet on 3rd/4th street, double from 5th, at most four raise steps per street. First to act on later streets is the best hand showing (Razz: the lowest showing). Stud: best five of seven wins. Razz: lowest five wins, straights and flushes ignored, A-2-3-4-5 is the wheel. Stud Hi-Lo splits between the high hand and a qualifying eight-or-better low. The ante/bring-in and small-bet amounts come from the table's two blind fields.

Table options

Straddles are live pre-flop raises. Bomb pots skip normal pre-flop action and may use two boards. Run-it-twice splits eligible pots across runouts. The 7–2 bounty and NIT game use the amounts shown in table settings. Tournament blinds rise by the configured clock or hand count. Straddles, bomb pots, double boards, run-it-twice, rabbit hunts, the 7-2 bounty and play stats apply to community-card games only.
