Good rules to follow. String bets always seem to cause problems. At our games we usually agree on rebuy rules when the game starts.

When considering the rules... what do you follow in terms of a re-buy?

Weve just stated our own weekly poker night.

Do you tend to pass the dealer around the table and what is the usual for a duff deal??

We had big bets placed down on the table and the dealer fliped over the burnt card on the river by mistake. At the time we had to all take our chips back and completely replay the hand with new cards.

The easiest way to remember the blinds is to just have the dealer, and the small blind move with the lost players. You must always have a BB, but the dealer button could sit at 2 now empty locations.

what happens when it's 3 handed and the player on the button is eliminated? does the BB have to post the BB again so the SB stays with the button?

we just go into heads up mode dealer is SB

in my games blinds are always ajusted keeps it fair on that everyone posts thier blindsdepending on who goes out depends on what i do

if bb goes out then we shift bb to next player

if sb goes out then we have bb only and the same dealer deals again for what is known as dead button

one rule at my house when we have multi-table is short stack always move when we evan up the tables and he/she can pick the they sit

i always re-state the rules every week before any hands are delt. the 2nd place getter gets his/her buy-in price and the rest goes to the winner. that way no arguements.

An important one to me is how chips are committed to the pot. I don't have a table with a "track" or line that seperates chips in the pot from chips in stacks, so I had to make the rule that if you have to count your chips and stuff behind your cards or they are considered comitted. I've had problems before this rule with people setting a stack out in front of their cards and then like cutting it in half and counting and committing like a quarter or half of the stack and people saying the whole stack should be comitted. It's touchy, but with the rule in place it makes it easier to rule on. Careful where you count your chips!

Peace,

Tyler

What about if some one goes out that would have been in the blinds. Do you do something to adjust for that or do you just move the big and small blinds to the next players?

punisher...I love that rule you have. Gotta like that one. That gives me an idea of having a pool of say $1 or pound each night goes toward a payout for a royal flush or another great hand. Assuming the players are regulars and keep coming back. It could end up being a nice prize pool. Obviously some logistics to work out there, like how to keep track and be honest to all over a period of a few months. I imaging the royal flush doesn't happen too often, since home games are more like a weekly or monthly game.

Great idea there punisher!

one rule i'm my home game is that if anyone wins with 7/2 offsuit no matter if it's a bluff or making a hand with it all the other players @ the table pay then our pre-game arrang amount normally about £2

I like having players state "call" or "raise" at the table, I'm OK with tapping to check.

…we don't bother with the splashing of the pot rule.

The best thing sometimes is hearing the chips clash! Thanks for the poker rules list.

I agree, as long as it's not a BIG Splash.
