Club Poker League >>> High Hand Rules

Effective September 21st, 2009

NEW: Having Quads or Better. If you are in any Club Poker League game and get four of a kind or better and your hand is "live", players will receive a "High Hand Certificate". "Rabbit Hunting"and folded hands do not count. Players no longer have to play in game 1 and stay for four games or hours. If you play one hand or all day/night and get quads or better... You Win!

Do I have to play in the first game to win? No. Players are not required to play in game 1.

Do I have to play in four games to win? No. Players are not required to play 4 games.

What if I get quads or better and loose the hand? Do I still get a High Hand Certificate?  YES!  For example, if you loose with four of a kind 5's and your hand is live at showdown and are beaten by four of a kind 6's you will still win a "High Hand Certificate".

What if there is a straight flush on the board? Do I still get a High Hand Certificate?  YES! If you call any bet and your hand is live at the completion of the hand... You Win!

What if there are four players in the hand and there are quads on the board?  Yes all four players win if their  hand is "live" at the completion of the hand.

What if I flop quads or better and all other players fold to my bet on the flop, turn or river?  Do I still win?  Yes, your hand is still "live" for "High Hand" purposes. Just show your hand to the dealer for credit. Rabbit Hunting does not count.

What is a "Live Hand"? In flop games, a hand properly tabled at the end of all action by the player playing their cards. Improperly exposed cards prior to the completion of the hand will be determined to be a live hand provided the player calls any action. Please note the exposing your hand prior the the completion of the hand and making aggressive action (raising or betting first) may result in a penalty.

Good Luck,
