This includes any behavior deemed unethical or complicit in an attempt to gain an unfair advantage in any live or online game with the Misfits Poker League or FPN."
WEEKLY RULES REVIEW!
I realize that there have been several rule additions and revisions over the last few weeks. In an effort to better communicate the rules, I am in the process of reorganizing them into a two documents, The Misfits Poker League Player Code of Conduct and The Misfits Poker League Rules and Tournament Information. When they are complete I would encourage everyone to read through them so you are apprised of the updated rules and procedures. Thank you for your patience and understanding while we work through this together.
Here's a couple rules that need to be addressed. Let's see what TDA has to say about them.
TDA Rule 61: Over-Betting Expecting Change
Betting should not be used to obtain change. Pushing out more than the intended bet can confuse everyone at the table. All chips pushed out silently are at risk of being counted inthe bet. Ex: the opening bet is 325 to player A who silently puts out 525 (one 500 and one 25), expecting 200 change. This is a raise to 650 under the multiple chip rule (Rule 45).
Please don't put additional chips out during a betting round, expecting change unless the dealer instructs you to.
If you need change please ask another player to give you change. This allows the dealer to stay on task and continue their duties uninterrupted.
TDA Rule 25: Cards and Chips Kept Visible, Countable, and Manageable. Discretionary Color-Ups
A: Players, dealers, and the floor are entitled to a reasonable estimation of chip counts; thus, chips should be kept in countable stacks. The TDA recommends clean vertical stacks of 20 same denomination chips each as a standard. Higher denomination chips must be visible and identifiable at all times. If a floor person can’t look at a chip stack and quickly estimate its value, players likely can’t either.
B: TDs control the number and denominations of chips in play and may color up one or more players at their discretion at any time. Discretionary color ups are to be announced.
C: Players must keep live hands in plain view at all times.
MPL Rules of the Game 12 & 18:
12. All chips must be kept in plain view for all the players and dealer to see. The larger denomination chips must be out front or visible on the top of another chip stack.
18. Players’ cards must always be visible, and remain on the table, in front of the rail. Cards removed from within the confines of the table are considered dead and must be mucked.
Please refrain from resting your closed hands over your cards(unless you're actively looking at them). Your cards need to be out front and visible for everyone to see.
The League Rules have been updated so please take the time to review all of the League rules and guidelines as it makes for a better playing experience for yourself and everyone at the table. For full access click the link below:
The Tournament Dealer Association (TDA) rules will apply in most cases. Please keep in mind TDA is a guideline for poker rooms to use and always respect rule #1 which states the following: “The best interest of the game and fairness are top priorities in decision-making. Unusual circumstances occasionally dictate that common sense decisions in the interest of fairness take priority over technical rules. Floor decisions are final.” To further familiarize yourself with the TDA Rules please visit: https://www.pokertda.com/poker-tda-rules/
