TOURNAMENTS
MONDAY-FRIDAY
7PM, 9PM, & 11PM

IMPORTANT TOURNAMENT INFO
Read all of this because it will answer a
    lot of questions that have come up!     

1)  No entry fee is required!  This is a complimentary tournament!!  Tournament start times are 7pm, 9pm & 11pm.  Each tournament lasts 1 hour & 50 minutes max (in order to allow us to set up for the next tournament.  Play is completed when there is only one player remaining at the final table for each group or when time runs out, at which point the player with the greatest value in chips is declared the winner. 

2)  QUALIFYING - Nightly table winners qualify to compete in the monthly championship rounds.  These rounds are held on the last WEEK of the month.  Winners of these four championship rounds will be awarded seats to the monthly online $3000 "King of the Ax Tournament".  This "King of the Ax" tournament is available only for Clicks patrons!

3)  SEATING

• Seats are available on a first signed - first seated basis.  You may sign up in advance at the bar.  Players who are not present at the tournament starting time will forfeit their seat to the next player on the sign-up list. 

• We cannot accept sign-ups over the phone.  We've had occasional problems with players calling in but not having their names on the list when they show up to play.  Signing up in person eliminates that problem. 

• Players may sign up to play in one, two or all three tournaments in any given night.  Players may participate in  any, or all four, nightly tournaments  each and every week.  (In other words, the more you play, the better the odds!)

• In order to allow as many  different players to participate and qualify, players may be "bumped" from the seating list IF a) they have already qualified the monthly Final for that night of the week and/or b) they have had the opportunity to play in an earlier tournament on the same night.  Once we have seated "new" players, we will go back to the top of the list of "bumped" players to fill any remaining seats.  (Hopefully, the new addition of a fourth table will reduce the frequency of this rule being applied.)

TEXAS HOLD'EM RULES

Hold'em poker (also known as Texas Hold'em) is the most popular poker game in the world. In Hold'em, players get two down cards and five community cards (which are face-up in the middle of the table). Your hand is determined by using the best five of those seven cards (in any combination) and the best hand wins the pot. Click here to see Rank of Hands. (The pot may also be won by someone betting and no one calling prior to getting seven cards.)

There are four rounds of betting in Hold'em. In Limit Hold'em, one bet and three raises are allowed for each betting round. To continue to play, players must call all action to them on each betting round (unless they are "all-in").
Here is the procedure for Hold'em:

1) Prior to dealing the cards, two blinds (the Small Blind and the Big Blind) are placed in the pot by the two players to the immediate left of the dealer (indicated by the dealer "button").

2) Everyone is dealt two down cards ("hole cards"). The action begins with the player to the left of the Big Blind folding, calling, or raising and continues in a clockwise fashion. This is the first betting round.
