Private Table

All Poker Game times will be posted here.

Poker Games are for play money.

We intend to have Poker tournaments for real money with a treasurer for stakes (winner takes all)

Instructions on how to play:

Blinds are posted automatically.

Your initial poker pot is $1000. When this is gone you are out so bet with care!

Just by your chair is your pot amount and a move timer.
The move timer goes from yellow to red, red being urgent “make your bet”

The move timer ensures that smooth table play continues by auto folding or dealing hands if a player does not take their turn within the time limit set by the site administrator. If a player repeatedly fails to take their turn they will be kicked off the table and any money left in their pot will be added back on to their total bankroll.

On the bottom edge of the poker table you will see your bet/stake options appear just after the auto blinds are posted. Make your bet e.g. $5, check, raise, fold, all in etc.

The Dealer information box shows how the current poker game is progressing.

The box at the top tells you who wins current poker game and is the chat box.
You can chat using the box on the top edge of the table  - write chat and click send

The game may run a little slow especially if the game is played at weekends and peak times but in a good poker game hands should not be rushed.
