The Poker Lobby
The lobby contains the lists of players, games and tournaments, enabling you to navigate to the location of your choice. It also contains links to the Poker Cashier, Help and Contact information. The central area of the Lobby displays lists of players, tables, games and tournaments.

To Start Playing
To join a table, select one from the game list and double-click on it. Alternatively, highlight the table of your choice and then click the Join Table button.

To watch a game at a table without participating, select a table and click Watch Table. Some tables use Play Money. That means you do not win or lose any real money during the game at that table. Play Money is intended for practice and pleasure.

If you wish to join a table, chose one of the available positions (marked with a yellow "Select" button) and press the button of your choice. You will immediately be asked to choose the amount you want to take to the table. The amount will be displayed on your Table Balance miniscreen in the lower left corner of the screen. As the game progresses, this amount will increase and decrease accordingly. Once you exit the game table and return to the lobby, your total balance will be displayed again.

When you sit down, there is probably a game round in progress. Wait for it to finish. Then you will be asked to post the Big Blind, as you are the latest joiner.  Use the following buttons and boxes during the game:

Sit out - Check this box to withdraw from the game. You will stay seated at the table. When you uncheck this box, you will return to the game at the start of the next game round. If you missed a round, where you should have posted a blind, then you have to post it when you return to the game.

Auto muck - Fold your card automatically during Showdown, if a previous player has a better hand than you.

Auto post - Check this box to post blinds automatically, as required.

Get more Chips - To buy chips, using the money on your balance, click here.

Chat - To chat with other players, type your text into the chat bar and press enter, or click the Chat button.

Help - Click this button to open the help file.

Options - Click here to open the Options window, where you can adjust various game settings. See the Options section of the help file for more information.

Lobby - Click here to exit the Poker Room and go back to the Lobby.

Multiple Tables* - It is possible to join up to three tables and play three games simultaneously. When you have joined a table, return to the lobby and select and join another table, repeating this again for the third. Switching between open tables is done through a set of table buttons located in the top left corner of the table window.
*this feature is only available when playing in top view mode.

When you are playing multiple tables, you will see a list of the active tables in the top left hand corner of each table window. You can switch between tables by clicking on the Table Name in this list. To leave any of the tables, click on the red "exit" box adjacent to each table name.
