Game Play
- My judgment supercedes any and all rules.
- All actions take place in this thread (unless OO croaks, in which case we move to email).
- All discussion of the tournament takes place in this thread (not on the phone, via PMs, emails, face-to-face, etc.). Do not edit posts in which betting (or calling, or raising, or checking, or folding) action has taken place. (link)
- Betting actions should be stated unambiguously: Call, Raise to/by <amount>, Check, Fold, Bet <amount>.
- Raise <amount> will be treated exactly the same as Raise by <amount>, just like in a brick-and-mortar casino.
- All actions take place in turn. Out-of-turn actions are not necessarily binding (especially if cards have not yet been shown), depending on my ruling.
- Contact the next player (or me) via Private Message (PM) after you've taken action. This helps the game flow at its maximum pace. Don't count on receiving PMs to know you're on the clock, keep checking the thread.
- Take action within 24 hours of the previous action or you may be skipped over (checked/folded as appropriate).
- Feel free to contact (PM) me to schedule out-of-turn actions, including stepping away from the table. Announce your triumphant return to the table directly.
- Timing out twice consecutively will result in being set as away from the table.
- Displaying graphics for cards (
) is considered to be showing your cards. One cannot "show" an incorrect card, and if caught I will correct what was shown. Words typed (Ace of Spades) is considered table conversation and will not be corrected if deceitful. - All hands participating in a showdown will be shown.
- The winning player will receive $100, second place $60, and and third place $40 (4 buy-ins, 2 buy-ins, and 1 buy-in of profit).
- Blind levels will go up every 35 "clicks." Each hand increments the click counter by the number of players in the tournament at the time the hand is dealt.
- Everyone begins with 200 chips.
- The structure is as follows:
- Blind Level. SB/BB (no antes)
- 1/2
- 2/4
- 3/6
- 5/10
- 7/14
- 10/20
- 15/30
- 20/40
- 25/50
- 35/70
- 50/100
- 75/150
any additional: +25/+50
- A bet may be of any size between the big blind and your entire stack. There is no requirement for a bet to be a multiple of the big blind.
- (Non all-in) raises must be of a size between that of the action taken ahead of you to the size of the second-largest stack among active players. There are three types of actions taken ahead of you:
- there is a bet (note, the big blind is considered a bet) with or without calls following,
- there has been a bet and a raise (again, with or without intervening calls between you and the raiser), and
- there has been a bet, a raise, and any number of raises to follow (possibly followed by callers).
- Attempts to put chips in the pot (via a declared "bet" after a bet has been established, or by declaring a raise) at half or more of a legal raise will result in a minimum raise. Attempts to put fewer than half of a legal raise into the pot will result in a call.
- A player may raise for less than the minimum in the case of an all-in raise. All-in raises of an amount less than the minimum raise in the previous rule do not reopen the betting for further raises by remaining active players.
- The "winner must show one card" rule is in effect: winner has 24 hours after they've been declared the winner to show one card in the thread. If the winner does not select a card within this time frame, I will show one of the cards that was in the winner's hand. (Winner can preselect, via PM to me, which card they'd like shown if they've made their decision prior to the end of the hand; if they end up not winning the hand, I will not show that card.)
Everyone drew a card, and players were seated in order from high-card (first hand dealer, Seat 8) to low-card (first seat to the left of the dealer, Seat 7). The following list is Seat #, Player Name, Card drawn, and their seat (using my personal naming convention) for the first hand.

Early Position [EP2]Seat 3: pr0ner
Early Middle Position [EMP]Seat 4: noxiousdog

Late Middle Position [LMP]Seat 6: Isgrimnur
Hijack [HJ]Seat 7: Unagi
Cut-Off [CU]Seat 8: NinaPerdida
Button/Dealer [D]Seat 9: Remus West
Small Blind [SB]Seat 10: LordMortis
Big Blind [BB]Humorous observation: RW was in Seat 9 and LM in Seat 10 in the first tournament.

at the time but it worked out pretty well and gave me a chance to watch the game without losing too many chips.
