Tournament Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.
Practice Matters
Overs in the Pot
Overs in the Pot No money or chips may be taken out of the pot except when the stakes are cash, under which circumstances a player may take out his proper change after placing a bet at his turn of play. The players must observe that the proper change is taken. Should a player ante or put into the pot an amount larger than required, and thereafter should another player make a bet, the overage cannot be taken out of the pot.
Exposed Hands on Showdown
Exposed Hands on Showdown All players, active or nonactive, are entitled to see all active players' hands on the showdown, provided a bet has been called. Therefore, on the showdown all the players in their proper turn must spread their cards face up on the table.
