Please read the below and msg organizer for address. If hosts/organizers don't know you, they'll want to meet you before giving you their address. Organizers reserve the right to alter the guest list.

No rake, no "house," no paid dealers or host — just a non-commercial for-fun game in a private residence. No one under 21 allowed. Very low stakes with very little cash on hand.

$20 to $40 buy-in for the first hour to accommodate newer players. After the first hour you can buy in from $20 up to big stack.* Be prepared for at least 3 buy-ins.

Holdem plus light variants like Crazy Pineapple, Lazy Pineapple, and others.

Emphasis on fun fair play.

Host will have food and possibly a few sodas available. Feel free to bring something to eat and/or share. Responsible use of alcohol is ok.

The last orbit will be dealt at 9:45.

Ask about a "High Hand contest, Bad Beat contest, and promotions. "Nit" games are also a possibility if players want them.

First timers, please show up 10 to 15 min min early to get a parking space. plenty of paid parking under and around building.

Neither the hosts nor the organizers nor their insurance will cover any losses or damages to persons or property.

We play by typical Vegas rules:

♤No string bets — If you don't clearly say "Raise," you get only one movement to push chips out.

♤Don't "splash the pot." Chips pushed in front of you are considered in the pot, but should not be pushed into the central pot until the betting is over.

♤Let the dealer make change for you after the betting is over.

♤Verbal declarations are always binding.

♤The minimum bet equals the big blind.

♤To be valid, a raise must at least double the previous bet or raise.

When there is no verbal declaration:

♤A single chip added to the pot is considered a call (even if you have other chips in the pot already)

♤Chips added to the pot greater than a call, but less than half of a valid raise is considered a call (unless that player is all-in).

♤Never reveal your cards or discuss a hand in play unless you are heads up. Example: If there's a possible straight or flush showing, stay quiet and leave it to the other players to spot that.

\*After the first hour, the minimum buy in will stay at $20. The maximum buy-in will be table stakes — just enough to get you the amount the chip leader has at the time.
