If warranted, Bwin Poker Management reserves the right to confiscate any funds won while players were acting as a team.

	Board talk is prohibited. Players may not chat about a hand while it is underway. Although some comments may be harmless, the guess will be that any comments about the play of a hand are in violation of our rules, and the burden of proof will be on the violating player to convince us otherwise. To be safe, don’t make jokes about the hand you are holding or how you intend to play during a hand.

	Players may not use chat to offer suggestion to another player during a hand, or urge a player to take a specific course of action (e.g., it is a rule violation to use chat to say "Call him, he's bluffing!"). Players may not chat about any folded cards they held during a hand. Also, they can’t chat about any current cards they are holding during a hand.

	Only the English language may be written using chat.

	Foul, rude or threatening language is prohibited at the gaming tables. Players may lose membership privileges for any repeat occurrences.

	The game is played for "table stakes" and as such, a player may not be forced out of hand for a lack of money. To complete the hand, a player will be allowed to go All-In. Players are allowed to Check and Raise.

	To decide which player's hand will and must be shown first during the showdown will depend on which player started the action and/or which player started the last bet, raise or re-raise.

	Players who win a non-called pot don’t need show their cards.

	Players may not fold a checked hand.

	Cards "speak for themselves" when deciding the winner of a pot. The universal poker hand rankings apply, and a list of these rankings can be found at the Poker Hand Rankings link.

	If two or more players tie by holding equally-strong winning five-card hands, the pot will be split between the tying players. If there is an odd chip, that chip will be broken down to the smallest value chips in the game. If the amount to be split is still uneven, the player who was in earliest position gets the odd chip in flop games. In high-low games, the high hand gets the odd chip.

	The house will collect a "rake" not to exceed $3 per pot, except in games featuring stakes of $1-2 or lower, where the maximum rake is $1.

	The Reserve-Seat and Sit-Out features are designed to let a player to take a small break from the action without losing his or her seat. Players must return to the game within 10 rounds. If a player fails to return to the game, then the player will be removed from the table.

	No Short buys are allowed. The only exclusion to this rule is if the player has already bought into the game for the suitable minimum, and wants to add chips from his account, but does not have enough chips in his account to reach the minimum. That player will be allowed to add as many chips as he has left in his account.

	Straddle bets are prohibited.
