Get the five-letter join code off the pub's screen — or just scan the QR code next to it — then pick a name and sit down. You start with the table's standard stack of play chips.
Your two cards show on your own phone and nowhere else. The shared cards, the pot and everyone's chip counts go up on the pub's screen for the whole room.
When it's your turn you'll get Fold, Check or Call, and a slider to raise with. There's a clock on every decision: let it run out and you'll check for free if you can, and fold if you can't.
Everyone gets two private cards. Five shared cards come out in the middle — three (the flop), then one (the turn), then one more (the river) — with a round of betting before each. Your hand is the best five cards you can make out of your two and the five in the middle.
Two players post forced bets before the cards come out, the small blind and the big blind, so there's always something to play for. The dealer button moves one seat to the left every hand, so everyone takes a turn at them.
Hands, strongest first:
"No limit" means you can push your whole stack in at any point. If you run out of chips part-way through, you still play for the part of the pot you paid into — the rest becomes a side pot for the players who could cover it.
Register your pub, create a table, and put /table.html up on the TV. The join code and QR code sit on screen until you deal the first hand; after that the screen shows the board, the pot and every chip count as the night goes.
Hands deal themselves once the table is running, with a short break after each one so the room can see who won. You can deal early, remove someone who's gone home, or top a busted player back up with a rebuy. When one player has all the chips, the table calls itself.
Chips are play money. They can't be bought, sold, cashed out, or exchanged for anything — they exist to keep score for one night of cards and are wiped when the table is deleted.
