Poker Cash Game Rules

Buying in Rules

1. All games at Adda52 are played at table stakes. Only funds you have brought to the table before a hand begins can be wagered in that hand.
2. Minimum and Maximum buy-ins may vary according to the table. Any such variations will be declared before you join a table.

Dealer Button and Blind Deduction Logic 

1. The dealer button will automatically move to the person who posted the small blind in the previous game.
2. If anyone takes a seat between the small blind and the big blind, they will have to wait for one game (to allow the dealer button to pass them) before starting to play. This will ensure the same person does not have to post the big blind twice.

Disconnection Rules

Server Issues - All transactions, including pots won and lost, are updated to your Adda52 account after each hand. In the event of a server crash that causes a hand to be incompletely recorded in the Adda52 database, all of that hand's participants’ accounts will be restored to the way they were at the beginning of the hand. Such a hand shall be declared a misdeal, with all associated blinds, antes and bets returned to the players.

Chat Rules

1. It is strictly prohibited to use chat for malicious or offensive behaviour, including, but not limited to, collusion, fraud, spam, and/or harassment. Abusive, foul, racist, threatening, or otherwise inappropriate chat will not be tolerated.
2. You may not use the Adda52 chat feature for any commercial purpose, including making statements that promote any service or product brand.
3. You shall not make statements about Adda52 or its services that are untrue or can be considered to be derogatory or critical.
4. You should not ‘flood’ the chat box by entering large amounts of text. This can interfere with other players' ordinary use of the chat facility.
5. Players cannot act in groups and play a game.
6. Players cannot declare their cards or discuss the strength of their hand in the chat window.

Unfair Play

1. Collusion is strictly prohibited by two or more players working together in the games or sharing knowledge to gain an unfair advantage over other players.
2. It would be best if you did not intentionally lose a hand to another player to transfer chips to his account.
3. Unfair play, such as collusion and multiple account abuse, may result in penalties at Adda52’s discretion. These penalties may include warnings, restrictions on playing with certain other players, seizure of funds, and closing your Adda52 account.

Sitting Out

In cash games, a player can opt to sit out for the next hand onwards on one table for up to 10 minutes. After ten minutes, if you don't resume the game, you will be automatically removed from the game table.

In a cash game, the player can opt to sit out by clicking on the following options in the game lobby:-

Sit out All Ring Table: This option will enable you to sit out on all the tables you are playing from the next hand onwards.

Sit out: This option will enable sit-out mode on the current playing table.

Note - 

- User has to play 5 hands before enabling manual Sit out for the first time after taking a seat.

- If 2 or more players sit at a table and there is no activity for 2:30 minutes, the table will be destroyed.

(The above-mentioned features are valid only for 2BB to 20 BB and 1K BB & above tables)
