Management reserves the right to make decisions in the spirit of fairness, even if a strict interpretation of the rules may indicate a different ruling. For example: A player ‘folding/mucking’ their hand as a result of another player ‘miscalling a hand’ will have the right to bring this to the attention of the Floor. The Floor may render judgment in the interest of fairness that may take priority over the technical rules. 

Decisions of our staffs are final.

Players may not take their chips with them when leaving the poker room.

The following is a list of rules and guidelines that will be followed while playing at Nuts Poker

1. We will be following The International Poker(FIDPA) Rules of poker with slight variation listed here-in. Please notice the rules are applicable to both cash games and tournaments; however, certain rules are exclusively relevant to tournaments.
2. It is each player’s responsibility to protect his/her own hand and right to action.
3. Cash of any kind will not be in play on the table for betting.
4. Don’t delay the game.
5. Rabbit hunting is discouraged.
6. Keep your highest value chips visible at the front of your stack, so that other players can quickly estimate your chip total. Don’t hide high-value chips behind the rest of your stack.
7. Keep your cards visible, on the table, in front of your chip stack. Don’t hide your cards behind your stack, don’t take your cards off the table, and don’t cover your cards completely with your hands.
8. As a courtesy players should announce their intention to leave the game at least one blind round (or half an hour) ahead. Exception: busted players may leave at any time and are not forced to re-buy.
9. If a player is absent when it is their turn to act, their hand is dead and they forfeit their blind, if any.
10. Running it twice is allowed only during heads-up play when both players are all-in.
11. Live straddle bets are allowed, before looking at cards (ideally before any cards are dealt), doubling for each position, up to and including the player on the button: the first straddle is to the left of and double the big blind, the next straddle is double that (so 4 times the big blind, a “double straddle”), then 8 times (“triple straddle”), etc. The full amount of the last straddle is also the minimum raise in the pre-flop betting round.
12. No string bets. Raises must be declared before any chips are placed, or the total bet (call + raise) must be placed in one motion.
13. Declare your bets and raises! Without declaration, a wager is the full amount of the chip(s) played.
14. Single chip rule. After a bet, putting a single chip into the pot without declaration is a call, regardless of denomination or the minimum bet if they were first to bet.
15. Verbal declarations are binding (“fold”, “check”, “bet”, “call”, “raise”, amount of bet). Raises should be specific. Acceptable raise phrases: “raise, X more”, “raise, plus X”, “raise, X on top”, “raise, Y total”, “raise, Y to go”, “raise to Y”, “raise, make it Y”, “raise, Y all day”. Just saying “raise Z” is ambiguous — are you raising to Z or raising Z more? For example if the bet is $5 dollars and you say $10 it will be received as $10 total.
16. A verbal statement in turn denotes your action, is binding, and takes precedence over a differing physical action.
17. The proper time to draw attention to a mistake is when it occurs or is first noticed. Any delay may affect the ruling.
18. A ruling may be made regarding a pot if it has been requested before at anytime before the hand is over. (Once all cards have been collected i.e. facedown on the table the hand is considered over)
19. If a pot has been incorrectly awarded and mingled with chips that were not in the pot, and before the next hand begins, management may determine how much was in the pot by reconstructing the betting, and then transfer that amount to the proper player.  
20. If you return to the same game within one hour of cashing out, your buy-in must be equal to the amount removed when leaving that game.
