When a player is absent the dealer will always deal the absent player in. When the action gets to this player, that players hand will be mucked. (The dealer will always deal to the chips not the persons sitting at the table)

The small blind is posted by the player immediately to the left of the dealer. The big blind is posted by the player to the left of the small blind.

New players to a table will be dealt a hand, unless the seat they are taking is between the small blind and the dealer position. In these situations the player must wait for the dealer button to pass.

When equal amount or more players join a table, a new dealer will be drawn.

The dead button rule applies. This means that  whoever had the small blind the previous hand will receive the button regardless of whether the player is still at the table or not (if not, the previous dealer will deal again).  This will then force the blinds to become small blind, big blind, big blind.  The next hand the blinds will be small blind, small blind, big blind.  The following hand will then return to normal.  (Barring no other players have been knocked out of a blind position).  Players will not be allowed to stay and deal in order to keep the blinds straight.  If you have any questions about the blinds it is always better to call the Director than to mess up the blinds.

All bets and raises pre and post flop must be equal or greater than the big blind or current bet. 

Minimum bet for the Turn and the River is double the big blind or double the current bet.

When raising, a player must either put the amount of the raise out in one motion or state the raise amount. By stating the word "raise", a player protects his right to raise, but the raise must be made in one additional motion unless the amount is stated.

If a Player does not have enough chips to place a blind, that player is ALL-IN. If a player does not have enough chips to call a bet, the player can go ALL-IN.  If this occurs, the other players with chips will continue the hand and bet into a side pot.

Each side pot will be split as a separate pot. They will not be mixed together before they are split.

When a Player goes ALL-IN and the bet is called by only one player, those Players will turn their cards face up for the Showdown and continue the hand.

All cards will be turned face up once all action is complete.

Rabbit hunting is allowed for the River card only.

Once a Player has lost all their chips they are required to leave the table. Players that have lost their chips, friends, family members or other spectators WILL NOT be allowed to sit at empty seats.  Spectators will be allowed to watch from behind the players seated at the table.

If two or more Players are eliminated on the same hand, the player with most chips at the start of the hand will finish in the higher position.  If chips are of equal amount the player with the best hand finishes in the higher position.

Odd chips: The odd chip(s) will go to the winning player closest to and left of the dealer.

A player who exposes his cards during  play may incur a penalty 

If any community cards are displayed out of turn, betting is frozen.  Players will turn over their cards and the remaining community cards played out.

If a Player is dealt a card face up the dealer will continue to deal each position their hole cards.  And the last card is dealt to the player who's card was face up.  The card that was dealt face up will become the first burn card. (All players must see the card that was dealt face up then the card should turned face down to the burn pile, this card is now the first burn card and the next 3 cards are the Flop).

If the card dealt face up is eather the dealer,small blind or big blind it will be a miss deal and the cards will be dealt over.

The dealer is responsible for keeping the burn cards and muck cards in separate piles.  If at anytime a player's hand is either accidentally or purposely thrown in the muck pile the cards are dead and cannot be played in that hand.
