Friendly! Everyone has the right to play their game in a friendly atmosphere. We will not accept bullying, intimidation or criticism at our events! If a player decides to call your all-in re-raise with 7-3 offsuit, only to hit a flush on the river - that's up to them! Yes this will happen and yes this is annoying. Deal with it, accept it - and move on!

Fair! In order to keep things fair we have our own set of House Rules (below) and we play all our league events in accordance with Robert's Rules. For all of you that haven't heard, Robert's Rules are considered to be the most definitive poker rules, and as such are used as a basis for the WPT and WSOP rules.

A full copy of our version of Robert's Rules can be downloaded here (pdf file).

Cards must remain on the table at all times, except when looking at them.

Verbal statements are binding. If a player verbally declares a fold, check, call, raise the action is binding. A player who checks out of turn may not bet or raise on the next turn to act but may call. A player who has called out of turn may not change the wager to a raise under any circumstances. Players may not say, "I will call and raise" In this event the action will be declared a call.

A tap on the table will be interpreted as a check.

Show one - show all. Players are entitled to receive equal access to information about the contents of another player's hand when the hand is complete.

Splashing the pot is not allowed. All bets must be placed in front of the player so everyone can see how many chips have been bet.

The table must be kept tidy at all times to avoid any confusion. Once a round of betting has concluded all chips are to be placed in the centre of the table. All burn cards should be placed face down and all mucked cards must be placed under the dealer button.
