POLICY ON NEW CERT PROGRAM
1.WHEN TWO PLAYERS GET TO HEADS UP, THEY HAVE TO BE WITHIN
3500 CHIPS TO PLAY IT OUT. AT THAT POINT THE DEALER SETS
THE CLOCK FOR 5 MINUTES. THEY HAVE TO PLAY THE ENTIRE
5 MINUTES OR ONE HAS TO WIN ALL THE CHIPS AND TAKE THE OTHER
OUT STILL LEAVING THE ONE WHO LOST, IN SECOND
PLACE. AT THE END OF 5 MINUTES COUNT THE CHIPS WHO EVER
HAS THE MOST GETS 1 ST PLACE AND TWO CERTS AND THE OTHER
GETS SECOND PLACE AND ONE CERT. EITHER WAY THERE IS A FIRST
AND SECOND PLACE. NO ONE PERSON CAN END UP WITH 3
CERTS FOR THE GAME. WITH THAT BEING SAID THERE
REALLY IS NO REASON TO EVEN PLAY IT OUT EXCEPT SOME PLAYERS
JUST LIKE TO PLAY THE HEADS UP. ALSO WHEN THEY ARE PLAYING
THE HEADS UP EACH PLAYER SHOULD ACT WITHIN 10 SECONDS ON
THERE TURN THIS PREVENTS A PLAYER FROM JUST EATING UP THE
CLOCK.
IF ANY PLAYERS OR DEALERS DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS YET YOU
SHOULD CALL ME AT 488-2575.
HIGH HAND POLICY
HIGH HAND IS NOW QUAD ANYTHING OR STRAIGHT FLUSH. ANY
PLAYER WHO GETS ANY OF THESE WILL GET A HH CERT. IT DOES
NOT MATTER IF YOU PLAY THE FIRST GAME OR JUST THE LAST.
IF YOU GET THERE EARLY OR LATE. OR IF YOU PLAY ONE GAME
AND LEAVE. ALL WILL GET A HH CERT.
IF YOU ARE IN THE HAND AND QUADS COME UP ON THE BOARD
NO MATTER WHAT KICKER YOU HAVE YOU STILL GET A HH CERT.
YOU MAY LOSE THE POT TO A HIGHER KICKER BUT YOU STILL
HAVE QUADS. IF YOU ARE HOLDING A 2 KICKER AND SOME ONE
GOES ALL IN BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE ACE. YES YOU CAN FOLD.
JUST SHOW YOUR HOLE CARDS TO THE DEALER AND PLAYERS AND
STATE YOU ARE NOT GOING TO CALL BUT YOU STILL HAVE YOUR
QUAD HAND BEFORE YOU FOLDED. THIS CAN BE DONE ON THE
TURN OR THE RIVER. AS LONG AS YOU WERE STILL IN THE HAND
WHEN THE QUADS CAME UP.
IF YOU FOLD FIRST AND THAN THE QUADS COME UP OF
COURSE YOU ARE NOT IN THE HAND SO NO YOU DON'T GET A
HHGET THE HIGH HAND. THERE IS ALSO NO RABBIT HUNTING. IF
YOU ARE IN A THE HAND AND ON THE BOARD COMES 6,7,8,9, OF
SPADES LETS SAY... SOMEONE IS HOLDING THE 5 BUT SOMEONE
ELSE IS HOLDING THE 10 OF SPADES.THEY BOTH GO ALL IN.
THE 10 WINS THE POT BUT YOU BOTH GET A HH CERT BECAUSE
THE 5 IS STILL A SF.

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", you 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!
What if I get quads or better and loose the hand? Do I
still get a High Hand Certificate? YES! If you loose with
four of a kind 5's for example 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.
