Rules and Regulations
1.
Players must be at least 21 years of age and must be
able to provide identification if requested..
2.
Players will play according to PPL’s blind structure
until one player remains and has accumulated all the
chips.
3.
At the beginning of the session players will draw
for dealer. The highest card will win the deal and
the players to the left of the dealer will assume
the big and small blind positions. If two players
draw the same card the suit will decide who will
assume the button. High card by suit is in
descending alphabetical order.
(Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs)
4.
Players that arrive will be allowed to play, but
will be shorted $200 in chips if arriving during
25/50 blinds, $300 if arriving during 50/75 blinds
and $400 if arriving during 75/100 blinds or the
duration of the 10 minute break. Any players that
arrive after the break is over will not be able to
play the session. Late arriving players will also
have to post the big blind regardless of their
position at the table and as well as the already
assumed big and small blinds.
5.
Players are obligated to take their blinds. In the
situation of the small blind being eliminated there
would be a dead small. If the big blind is
eliminated the player to the left would then assume
the big blind. There is never a dead big blind, but
their can be a dead dealer or dead small blind if
either of those are eliminated.
6.
New players will be dealt into the hand immediately
unless they have sat into the small blind or dealer
positions. If so, they must wait for the deal to
pass them and then will be able to play. If a player
sits into the big blind position they must post
their big blind and will be dealt in immediately.

If a player is absent from the table he will still
be dealt into the hand and will be required to post
his/her blinds.

of the players are new, all players will redraw for
dealer and then assume action.
