Start Playing

To join a table, select a table from the game list and double-click on it. Alternatively, highlight the table of your choice and then click the “JOIN TABLE” button.

If you wish to join a table, chose one of the available positions which are marked with a “Seat Open" box and click on the box.

You will immediately be asked to choose the amount you want to take to the table. The amount will be displayed on your Table Balance miniscreen in the lower left corner of the screen. – Need to check this with a real account - does anyone have a real cash account so we can check this.

As the game progresses, this amount will increase and decrease accordingly. Once you exit the game table and return to the lobby, your total balance will be displayed again.

When you sit down/join a table, there is probably a game round in progress. Wait for it to finish. Then you will be asked to post the Big Blind, as you are the latest joiner.

Use the following buttons and boxes during the game:
Sit out - Check this box to withdraw from the game. You will stay seated at the table. When you uncheck this box, you will return to the game at the start of the next game round. If you missed a round, where you should have posted a blind, then you have to post it when you return to the game.
Auto muck - Fold your card automatically during Showdown, if a previous player has a better hand than you.
Auto post - Check this box to post blinds automatically, as required.
