• -Missouri Poker Club is not responsible for the conduct of any player, but retains the right to refuse play to any player. Missouri Poker Club will have zero tolerance for any player who berates another player at a table.

• -By taking a seat in a Poker game, players agree that management has the final word on who may play and the manner in which play is conducted.

• -When players are seated in a Poker game they must ante or post blinds as per the type of game being played. If a player is dealt in by dealer error, then the hand will be declared a misdeal.

• -Cards must be kept on or above the table surface in plain view. Cards may not be removed from the edge of the table surface.

• -It is each player’s responsibility to protect his/her own hand and right to action.

• -If you toss your cards and they hit the muck, flop, board, or if another player's card touch your cards, then your cards are immediately declared dead. It is the player’s responsibility to have their cards guarded at all times during play.

• -All losing hands will be mucked before the pot is awarded.

• -The winning hand will remain face up until after the pot has been awarded.

• -A misdeal may be ruled for circumstances not covered here. The following will be ruled misdeals: a. The deal is out of position and it is discovered prior to the Flop being turned; b. The first card dealt to the blind positions is exposed; c. If two (2) or more down cards are exposed due to dealer error; d. If two (2) or more boxed cards appear when the starting hands are dealt (if it is discovered that there are boxed cards in the stub after the completion of the deal, the action continues).

• -Once a new hand has begun, no decision can be rendered in regard to the previous hand.

• -No one else may play another players’ chips.

• -No one else may play another person's hand, not even the tournament director or host.

• -No “rabbit hunting” is permitted. Players and dealers are not allowed to look through the discard pile.

• -Cards speak. A winning hand must show all cards face up on the table. The player instituting the first action (checking or betting) must turn their hand over first. The host will assist to the best of their ability in the reading of hands although it is each player’s responsibility to protect their own hand at all times.

• -A player miscalling a hand with the intent to cause another player to act on their hand risks forfeiture of the pot and/or expulsion from the current game.

• -At the request of other players at the table, non-players may be asked not to stand or sit at the table.

• -No beverage containers, food, books, etc., are allowed on the Poker table.

• -The splitting of pots among players is not allowed. All hands must be played to completion. Unless head to head and both parties agree before the flop is exposed.

• -Show one, show all. If any player shows his/her cards to another player at the table, all other players at the table then have the right to see them upon request.

• -All raises must be at least equal to the size of the last bet, except in “all-in” situations. With an all-in bet you can re-raise your original bet as long as the all-in was at least 150% of the original bet.

• -Players must act in turn. A knock on the table constitutes a pass. To eliminate the possibility of forfeiture, a player must call “time.” Failure to stop the play prior to substantial action occurring may result in the right to act.

• -Players who place a single chip into the betting perimeter that is larger than the bet to them are considered to be calling the bet unless they announce “raise.”

• -String raises are not allowed. A player must either put out the full amount of the bet and raise at once or announce “raise.”

• -Verbal statements in turn are binding.

• -If a player acts out of turn and their bet or raise influences action, that bet or raise must stay in the pot.

• -Missouri Poker Club offers free poker to all players interested in playing Texas Hold-em. Any and all players that patronize the locations that we play at will be eligible for monthly prizes.

• -A card found face up in the deck (boxed card) is treated accordingly. A card found face up is considered a piece of paper and the next card in the deck is used. If a second boxed card appears after the flop, bets are returned and the hand is considered a misdeal. There is no re-shuffling of the deck at anytime. Once you re-shuffle the deck it will be considered a misdeal.

• -If an irregular card(s) (cards of the same rank, cards of a different back color, etc.) appear during the course of a hand, all hands are dead and all action is void. If an irregular card(s) is discovered in the stub, all action for that hand and the previous hands stands.
