IMPORTANT TOURNAMENT INFO
  Tournaments are Player Dealt until the last table, then dealer is provided

1)  No entry fee is required!  These tournaments  are free!!  Start times are 7pm, & 10:30pm.  Each tournament lasts 3 hours max (in order to allow us to set up for the next tournament).  There will be five tables playing in each time frame. 

2)  SEATING

  • Seats are available on a first signed - first seated basis.  You may sign up one hour in advance of the tournament start time.  Players who are not present 15 minutes prior to tournament starting time will forfeit their seat to the next player on the sign-up list.

  • Players may sign up to play in one or two tournaments in any given night. Once being eliminated from the 7:00 session, you may sign up for the 10:30 session as a repeat player.  New players will be seated for 10:30 before repeat players from the 7:00 game.  Cut off time for new players to sign up for the 10:30 game is 10:15.  Players not in their seat by 5 minutes till start time will lose their seat to waiting players.    

  • You will be assigned to a table after you check in.  Table and seat assignments are final.  If you are looking to play on the same table as someone else, it is suggested that you both check in at the same time.  Each table will “high-card” for the button immediately prior to the start of the Tournament. This means the player who gets dealt the highest card will start with the button. In case two players get the same high card, the suit preference of spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds will determine who starts with the button.  

3)  QUALIFYING

  • Each month, 6 players will be awarded seats to the online, $3000 King of the Ax Tournament.  The King of the Ax tournament is available only to Clicks patrons.  There are 15 Clicks locations participating in the King of the Ax tournaments, and there will be 90 players total. 

  • To get our 6 location winners, we will have 3 weeks of qualifiers, 6 sessions per week (Wednesday 7 & 10:30, Thursday 7 & 10:30, Friday 7 & 10:30).  The top 16 players in each session will get a seat to the location finals at the end of the month.  How well each player finishes week to week determines how many chips are awarded to them at the location final.

       Seats 4-9 awarded $1800 at final
       Seat 3 awarded $2000 at final

7)  FINALS

  • Finals are held at the end of the month.  Your time slot is determined by which session you qualified in.  For instance, if you placed in the top 16 for any Friday 7:00 session, then your final is the last Friday of the month at 7:00.  If you are in the top 16 for any Friday 10:30 session, then your final is the last Friday of the month at 10:30.  The same applies for Wednesday and Thursday sessions. 

  • You must be checked in 15 minutes before your start time or you will lose your seat to alternates!

  • It is possible to get in a final without qualifying earlier in the month.  You may sign up as an alternate during any final.  If there are open seats, we will seat alternates according to sign up sheet.  As a NON QUALIFYING ALTERNATE, YOU WILL START WITH ONLY $1000 IN CHIPS!

TEXAS HOLD'EM RULES
No Limit

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 (inany 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.
3) The dealer turns over three cards (community cards known as "The Flop"). This is the second betting round. Beginning with this round of betting (and throughout the remainder of the hand), the player to the left of the button acts first.
4) The dealer turns over another card (known as "The Turn" or "Fourth Street"). This is the third round of betting. (In (Limit) Hold'em, the amount bet doubles on "The Turn".)
5) The dealer turns over the last card (known as "The River" card or "Fifth Street"). This is the final round of betting.
6) Upon completion of the final round of betting, the best hand wins the pot.
7) Odd chips on split pots, carry over to the next pot.
