All games are table stakes. |
That is only the money, and all of the money, that a player has on the table at the beginning of a hand will play during that hand.
As a result of this rule:
• A player may not be put at risk for more money than he has voluntarirly put on the table.
• A player cannot be forced out of a pot because he does not have enough money chips to call the bets
• A player may not take advantage of a strong hand by putting more money on the table after receiving cards.
• If there has been a bet, a player may not hold back any money that was on the table at the beginning of a hand except by folding.
• A player ma not take money off the table until leaving the game (exceptions include tokes to the dealer and drinks).
When a player runs out of money during the play of a hand but wants to stay in the hand, he declares “all-in”, thus becoming eligible to compete for money in the pot up to that point.
A player who runs out of money can win only the main pot. A side pot is created so that the remaining players can still bet and win both, assuming they have the best hand. All the best that have been matched by the all-in player go in to the main pot, and all further action goes into the side-pot to be contested only between players that are still active.
