Thanks for the guide! There’s nothing worse than a disorganised poker tournament. Don’t forget the beer and niblets!

i have a home game every friday night (8 to 10 ) players . after two weeks or so we still have the same dilema, two players left and on the flop we get 7 7 10 then 10 on the turn then Q on the river. one player calls all in. second player calls. frist player to play shows k,3 second player pocket 2’s. my question is who should have won the hand.

in three-way action the button gets eliminated, leaving last hands small and big blind as the only players, who is the big and small blind then

I’m planning a poker tournament next week, & need to find out on how to move players from one table to the next to keep the tables even. What player do I pull to place on another table & how does it work? Could you explain to me how & why it’s done, so I can explain it to to the players?

Thank you for all your hard work to furnish this information to amatuer and up and coming holdem players - its guys like you that make the internet what it should be..Also I hope as the game increases in popularity more people will bound together and write or call their congressional reps to make online gambling legal in the US…when you really look in to it its a win-win-win situation for all concened - too bad our pious politicians have no real balls.

If a card is exposed during the deal, the deal is declared a misdeal
and the hand is re-dealt. The button does not move.
this is a very bad rule, what if someone had pocket rockets they would be pissed! the hand should only be a misdeal if it is the first card off the deck exposed or more than one card is exposed, otherwise the card should be replased with the burn card and the exposed card is now the burn card. I have played in many casinos and this is how they always handle it.

How long does say a 6-7 person tournament last with your chips counts and blind schedule. Just curious.
