Texas Holdem Rules

Bar Poker Rules vs Casino Rules

We try to adhere to “casino rules” as much as possible, to keep confusion and disputes to a minimum, and also to make sure our players are well-prepared to play in a casino when they have the opportunity.

But we are, obviously, a bar poker league. As such:

• we place a high value on keeping the games friendly, fun, and fair
• we do not have professional dealers or floor staff to run our games and settle disputes

So, our rules digress in some areas from what you may find in a casino, to the extent that we feel it is necessary to keep our games fair and fun for all of our players.

Rule Reminders and Clarifications

From time to time we post reminders and clarifications on our site, to minimize confusion or conflict at our games. Please take the time to review these clarifications here.
