The Blinds

In Hold'em, a marker called 'the button' or 'the dealer button' indicates which player is the nominal dealer for the current game. Before the game begins, the player immediately clockwise from the button posts the "small blind", the first forced bet. The player immediately clockwise from the small blind posts the "big blind", which is typically twice the size of the small blind, but the blinds can vary depending on the stakes and betting structure being played. In No Limit games, the games are referred to by the size of their blinds (for example, a
/ Hold'em game has a small blind of
and a big blind of ). Depending on the exact structure of the game, each player may also be required to post an 'ante' (another type of forced bet, usually smaller than either blind, posted by all players at the table) into the pot. Now, each player receives his or her two hole cards. Betting action proceeds clockwise around the table, starting with the player 'under the gun' (immediately clockwise from the big blind).

Player Betting Options

In Hold'em, as with other forms of poker, the available actions are 'fold', 'check', 'bet', 'call' or 'raise'. Exactly which options are available depends on the action taken by the previous players. Each poker player always has the option to fold, to discard their cards and give up any interest in the pot. If nobody has yet made a bet, then a player may either check (decline to bet, but keep their cards) or bet. If a player has bet, then subsequent players can fold, call or raise. To call is to match the amount the previous player has bet. To raise is to not only match the previous bet, but to also increase it.

Pre-Flo

After seeing his or her hole cards, each player now has the option to play his or her hand by calling or raising the big blind. The action begins to the left of the big blind, which is considered a 'live' bet on this round. That player has the option to fold, call or raise. For example, if the big blind was , it would cost  to call, or at least  to raise. Action then proceeds clockwise around the table.
Note: The betting structure varies with different variations of the game. The betting structure for No Limit games are as follows

No Limit Texas Hold'em

The minimum bet in No Limit Hold'em is the same as the size of the big blind, but players can always bet as much more as they want, up to all of their chips.
Minimum raise: In No Limit Hold'em, the raise amount must be at least as much as the previous bet or raise in the same round. As an example, if the first player to act bets  then the second player must raise a minimum of  (total bet of ).
Maximum raise: The size of your stack (your chips on the table).

The Flop

Now, three cards are dealt face-up on the board. This is known as 'the flop'. In Hold'em, the three cards on the flop are community cards, available to all players still in the hand. Betting on the flop begins with the active player immediately clockwise from the button. The betting options are similar to pre-flop, however if nobody has previously bet, players may opt to check, passing the action to the next active player clockwise.

The Turn

When the betting action is completed for the flop round, the 'turn' is dealt face-up on the board. The turn is the fourth community card in Hold'em. Another round of betting ensues, beginning with the active player immediately clockwise from the button.

The River

When betting action is completed for the turn round, the 'river' is dealt face-up on the board. The river is the fifth and final community card in a Hold'em game. Betting again begins with the active player immediately clockwise from the button, and the same betting rules apply as they do for the flop and turn, as explained above.

The Showdown

If there is more than one remaining player when the final betting round is complete, the last person to bet or raise shows their cards, unless there was no bet on the final round in which case the player immediately clockwise from the button shows their cards first. The player with the best five-card poker hand wins the pot. In the event of identical hands, the pot will be equally divided between the players with the best hands. Hold'em rules state that all suits are equal.

A Sit & Go tournament is an impromptu poker tournament for up to 50 players. To learn how to join a Sit & Go tournaments, please see Join a Tournament, in the Getting Started section of this site. Members may register to a maximum of six poker tournaments and actively play in two poker tournaments at a time.
A Sit & Go tournament commences once the predetermined number of players have registered. Participants will be required to buy in, upon joining the tournament. A Sit & Go tournament buy-in varies depending on the tournament. Participants will also be required to pay a tournament fee. Many tournaments offer rebuys and add-ons at certain points.
Once the tournament is about to begin, players will be seated at the tournament tables, in a random manner. At each tournament table there will then be an initial draw to determine, according to highest ranking card (by suit), which player will act first as dealer.
If the Sit & Go tournaments is being played on more than one poker table, active players may be moved between the tables, as the tournament progresses and players are disqualified (run out of chips).
Tournament blinds will increase as the tournament progresses, according to a predetermined schedule. This stake increase schedule is available in the tournament Lobby (please see Guide to the Tournament Lobby, in the Our Software section of this site). There are no recesses during Sit & Go tournaments.
If, for technical reasons, the tournament is canceled in the middle, participants who have already been eliminated will lose their buy-ins and entry fees. The remaining players will be refunded their buy-ins and entry fees, and will equally divide up the buy-ins of the players already eliminated (regardless of the chip standing when the tournament was halted).
The last remaining player in the tournament (has won all the chips) is the winner.

These rules apply to tournaments at BARCELO9. The Tournament Rules as listed here are intended to complement the Terms of Service, not replace them. In the event of a discrepancy between the Tournament Rules and Terms of Service, the Terms of Service shall take precedence

General

1. BARCELO9 will at all times consider the best interests of the game and fairness as the top priority in the decision-making process. Unusual circumstances can on occasion dictate that decisions in the interest of fairness take priority over the technical rules.
2. All tournaments will begin promptly at the scheduled time stated in the Tournament Lobby. BARCELO9 reserves the right to delay or cancel a tournament without prior notice.
3. Important information about each tournament, including the blind structure, length of rounds, rebuy and break information, can be found in the tournament lobby. BARCELO9 reserves the right to change the parameters of any tournament at any time without notice.
4. Seats are assigned at random. Seat changes are not permitted.
5. The button will be positioned at Seat 1 to start play.
6. A bet and three raises are permitted in Fixed Limit tournaments. There is no limit to the number of raises permitted in Pot Limit and No Limit tournaments.
7. Prizes will be awarded as stated in the Tournament Lobby. Which prize structure is used depends on several factors including the number of entrants and the number of players per table. The prize structure is not finalized until registration has closed and the rebuy and/or add-on period is over.
8. In order to be eligible to rebuy in a rebuy tournament, you must have the funds available in your account. Players without sufficient funds remaining in their account will be eliminated from the tournament. Funds currently in play in other games, or held in a currency not matching the tournament currency are not considered to be available.
9. Late Registration : Late Registration is available in most tournaments. The length of the late registration period varies, but will always be shown in the Tournament Lobby. Late registration time is based on blind level. For example, players can late register until "blind level 6" for a certain tournament
   Please note that players are only allowed to participate in a tournament once, unless re-entry is permitted, as specified in the tournament lobby. One player using multiple accounts to enter multiple times into a single tournament is not permitted, and may result in penalties including a warning, disqualification from the tournament (with partial or full forfeiture of winnings), and barring from BARCELO9.
10. Unregistration : Most tournaments allow unregistration until a few minutes before the event begins.

Eliminations

1. Most tournaments end when one player accumulates all the chips in play, or when all remaining players will receive the same prize (for example, if the tournament awards five identical prizes, the tournament may end when there are five players left).
2. If two or more players are eliminated on the same hand, a player with more chips at the start of the hand finishes higher than a player with fewer chips. If all players started the hand with an identical number of chips, all players tie for that rank, and any prizes due to those players will be equally distributed between them.
3. BARCELO9 uses a 'forward-moving button' rule in its tournaments. According to this rule, no player ever receives the button twice in a row; at the completion of every hand, the button is moved clockwise. The implication of this rule is that when players are eliminated, there may be players who get a reprieve from one or both blinds. Since these are basically random occurrences, no player will receive any long-term advantage, and the rule is necessarily fair for all players.
4. When two players remain at the final table, the button will post the small blind, and act first on the opening round.
5. As players are eliminated from the tournament, the software will "break" tables to fill available empty seats. The re-seating of players at broken tables is performed randomly and, although rare, may result in a player having to post multiple big blinds in a row. On occasion, the software may balance tables.

Breaks

1. The break schedule for a tournament can be found in the 'Tournament Info' dialog, which can be opened from the tournament lobby. Players are encouraged to study the break schedule for each tournament they wish to play, as break length and timing may vary from one event to the next. BARCELO9 offers two varieties of breaks:
   • Tournaments with synchronized breaks will go on break at 55 minutes past the hour. For example, a tournament which begins at 07:25 will go on break at 07:55, 08:55, 09:55 and every hour thereafter until the tournament ends.
     Tournaments of this type can be identified by the phrase 'The tournament goes on break at 55 minutes past the hour', found in the main lobby information panel.
   • Other tournaments will go on break between levels. For example, a tournament beginning at level 1 may go on break after level 2.
     In all cases, the tournament will wait for hands at all tables to complete before the break period begins. This means that at some tables, the break will last slightly longer than at other tables.
     Note that not all tournaments offer breaks (for example, Hyper-Turbo and some Heads-Up or Shootout-style events).

Disconnects and Sitting Out

1. By participating in a tournament, a player accepts the risk of Internet disconnection, due to problems with the connection between their computer and the servers, lag or freeze or some other problem in the player's computer or the Internet.
   • BARCELO9 does not accept any responsibility for a player disconnect except in the case of a server crash.
   • If a player times out during a hand, whether connected or disconnected, his or her hand will be folded if facing action, or may be checked if facing no action.
   • If a player is not connected before a hand starts, he or she will be dealt cards, and a blind and/or antes will be posted. There is no rule against a single player choosing to sit out; the player doing so will continue to have blinds and antes posted and cards dealt. Two or more players may.

Unethical Play

1. Poker is an individual (not a team) game. Any action or chat intended to help another player is unethical and is prohibited. Unethical play, such as soft-play (playing less aggressively against a partner) and chip dumping (intentionally losing chips to a partner), may result in penalties, including seizure of funds from the offender's account and/or termination of the account. BARCELO9 routinely reviews game play to look for violations of our rules and to ensure the integrity of our games. It may be necessary to withhold player winnings until the completion of game play reviews.
2. With some exceptions (described below), a player may play on only one account during a tournament and may not 'hand off' his seat in mid-event to a different player. Violation of this rule may result in penalties including a warning, disqualification from the tournament (with partial or full forfeiture of winnings), and barring from BARCELO9.
   Examples of permissible exceptions that we give below are intended to describe examples of unplanned but serious events which are beyond your control.
   Examples of things which are not beyond your control and therefore prohibited include:
   • Going to bed and letting someone else finish the tournament.
   • Entering a tournament then getting on an airplane, or embarking on any other pre-planned trip, while asking a friend to play your account while you change location.
   • Deciding that it would be fun to finish the Sunday Million at Joe's house then asking Joe to take over your account, while you make the 30-minute trip to his house.
   • You and a friend are playing in the same tournament. You agree that if he busts out before you do, he will take over playing your account.
   • Your husband is out of town for the weekend, but gives you his password. You log into both his account and yours and play both accounts in the same tournament.
   • You have progressed to the final few tables of a tournament and somebody offers you cash equity for your seat. You allow the other player to sign into your account, or you continue to finish the tournament following the explicit instructions given by him.

Examples of things which are beyond your control and therefore allowed, subject to BARCELO9 being able to corroborate with evidence, include:

• A thunderstorm strikes your location and takes the power down for the surrounding area, so you call a friend to take over your account while you make alternative arrangements.
•  
• Your child is taken ill and you have to attend hospital, so you call a friend to take over your account.
•  
• You are playing in a tournament and lose internet access in your home due to a failure of your ISP. You call a friend and he takes over while you make alternative arrangements.

Server Issues

1. In the event of a server crash, the hands in progress at every table will be restored by rolling back those hands. Each player's chip count will be reset to the amount at the beginning of the hand. In special circumstances, when a tournament needs to be cancelled because of a crash or some other reason, players will be compensated according BARCELO9's policies.

Bounties

In some specially designated tournaments, a cash 'bounty' will be placed on some or all of the tournament participants. A player who eliminates such an opponent wins the cash bounty.
There are four types of Bounty Tournament:

Knockout: A bounty is placed on every entrant. You win a cash prize for each opponent you eliminate.

Progressive Knockout: When you knock a player out of the tournament, part of the bounty is awarded at that time, and the rest of the bounty is added to the bounty on yourself. The amount of bounty on each player is displayed at their seat.

Fixed Bounty: A bounty is placed on a specific player in the tournament.

1. The bounty is awarded to the player who wins the 'relevant pot' for the hand in question, which may be the main pot or one of several side pots. 'Relevant pot' means the pot in which the bounty player was all-in for their final chips.
   • For example:
     - Daniel (100 chips), Barry (200 chips), Vicky (400 chips), and Julian (1000 chips), are playing a hand in a No-Limit tournament.
     - Daniel moves all-in, and Barry, Vicky and Julian call. The pot which Daniel is eligible for is known as the 'main pot'. Betting continues 'on the side', in side pot 1.
     - Barry moves all-in, and Vicky and Julian call. Betting continues between Vicky and Julian in side pot 2.
     - Vicky moves all-in, and Julian calls. Barry shows the best hand. He wins side pot 1 and the main pot, eliminating Daniel. He receives the bounty for Daniel.
     - Julian shows the next best hand, and wins side pot 2, eliminating Vicky. Julian wins the bounty for Vicky.
     - Note that although Barry had the best hand overall, he didn't have as many chips as Vicky and therefore could not eliminate her. Julian however did have enough chips, and therefore wins Vicky's bounty.
2. In the event that two players show identical winning hands and therefore split the 'relevant pot', any bounty awarded will be divided equally between the winners. Odd cents will be awarded in turn to the players in the earliest positions.
3. If a bounty player wins the tournament:
   • In a Knockout tournament, the player is awarded their own bounty.
   • In a Team Pro or Fixed Bounty tournament in which the Team Pro or Fixed bounty player wins, the bounty is not awarded.
4. If a tournament advertises a bounty on a particular player, but that player does not register for the tournament, no bounty will be paid for that player.
5. Players may not make any agreement amongst themselves to eliminate a particular player in order to claim their bounty award. Such agreements are considered collusion, and are grounds for disqualification from the tournament or other penalties.

In case of disputes, BARCELO9 management's decision will be final.
