PlayPokerNights (PPN) Tournament Rules

 

PPN abides by a set standard of Rules and Regulations set by convening authorities. These Rules and Regulations can be found online. Or Downloaded HERE

 

Differences in rules include (but are not limited to);

 

1. If a player bets out of turn, their chips are returned and that player in restricted from raising for 1 (one) betting round.

 

2. If a player is forced All In by a blind or other means and has not seen their cards, they may keep their cards Face Down until such time as they are required to Open them at the end of the hand.

 

3. ReBuys and Addons

 

i. If a player loses their chips during the First session of play, they are entitled to 1 (one) ReBuy providing they have the correct pre-requisites to obtain it. If the player then loses their chips a second time in the First session of play, they are then out of the Tournament unless in such Tournaments where multiple ReBuys are available.

 

ii. If a player has lost all their chips (as per section 3.i), they may not receive their AddOn at the beginning of the Second session.

 

4. All hands dealt to stacks with no player seated must be mucked with the exception of Big Blind. Big Blinds cards must stay alive until such time as a decision is required outside of Checking, only then may the cards be folded.

 

5. Where a rule has not been set in an unprecedented situation, Standard Texas Hold`em rules apply.

 

6. PPN Tournaments are played in Shoot Out format unless otherwise specified.

 

7. After the dealer has shuffled the deck, the player sitting to the left of the dealer must cut the deck. A cut must be performed with only one split of the deck between 5-47 cards. Any occurrences of more than one split will result in the action being deemed as a shuffle and the dealer must reshuffle and have the deck re-cut.

 

8. If the cards have not started being dealt before the Tournament host announces a raise in blind levels, the blind raise is applied to that hand. If the dealer has dealt at least one card before the announcement, the raise is deferred to the next hand.
