Sitting at a Ring Game:

In order to open up a desired online Poker table simply double click on the red highlighted table or click the “Join Table” button on the bottom right hand of the screen.

In doing so a table will then open:

1. Sitting in a free seat with the intention to play: Click on any of the seats that are not occupied. All spaces around the table that are marked “Free Seat Click to Sit” are available. Once you have successfully sat down at a table you will see your player nickname occupying that spot.

2. Bringing money to the table: After choosing a seat you will be prompted to decide how much money you would like to bring to the table.

This box will outline the minimum and maximum Table Buy-in at the top. The default buy-in is always the table minimum. To bring more than the table minimum either utilize the scroll bar to select the desired amount, or type in the amount you would like to bring to the table in the amount box. Should you wish to bring the minimum or maximum amount click on the desired button.

Game buttons – When play indicates that it’s your turn to act, you will be shown a series of buttons to choose from.

Choose the corresponding button to the action you see best fit. You may also use the pot calculating wager amount buttons when choosing to bet. These will automatically wager the specified portion of the pot currently being played dependent upon your selection.

Pre-Action Buttons – If you know what you would like to do in a hand prior to it being your action, the pre-action buttons allow you to make the selection and will automatically carry out your selection once it’s your turn.

Players who enjoy Multi-Table action often use this feature to play more efficiently.

History – On the top right-hand corner of the screen you’ll find the “History” button. This allows you to review online Poker hands that you have played, either by reading the hand history of a particular hand or by reviewing the hand being played out in our state-of-the-art hand re-player.

The hand re-player will then load a separate window giving you the option to play back a series of hands, fast forward, pause, or skip forward or backwards, much like your DVD player at home.
