8 Rules for Playing GorbyX Poker TM Each player in a GorbyX Poker TM game is dealt four private cards face down ( hole cards ) which belong only to that player. Five community cards are dealt face-down on the board to be turned face up in the betting segments (-1-1), after the first round of betting is completed. ll Players MUST use any two cards from their four hole cards combined with any three cards from the community cards to make the best five-card GorbyX Poker TM hand possible. In GorbyX Poker TM, a marker called the button or the dealer button indicates which player is the nominal dealer for the current game. Before each player is dealt four down cards, the player immediately clockwise from the button posts the small blind, the first forced bet. The player immediately clockwise from the small blind posts the big blind, which is typically twice the size of the small blind, but the blinds can vary depending on the stakes and betting structure being played. In Limit games, the big blind is the same as the small bet, and the small blind is typically half the size of the big blind but may be larger depending on the stakes. For example, in a $/$ Limit game the small blind is $1 and the big blind is $. In a $1/$0 Limit game, the small blind is $ and the big blind is $1. Now, each player receives their four hole cards. Betting action proceeds clockwise around the table, starting with the player under the gun (immediately clockwise from the big blind). Player Betting Options: In GorbyX Poker TM, as with other forms of poker, the available actions are fold, check, bet, call or raise. Exactly which options are available depends on the action taken by the previous players. Each poker player always has the option to fold, to discard their cards and give up any interest in the pot. If nobody has yet made a bet, then a player may either check (decline to bet, but keep their cards) or bet. If a player has bet, then subsequent players can fold, call or raise. To call is to match the amount the previous player has bet. To raise is to not only match the previous bet, but to also increase it. Pre-Flop - fter seeing his or her hole cards, each player now has the option to play his or her hand by calling or raising the big blind. The action begins to the left of the big blind, which is considered a live bet on this round. That player has the option to fold, call or raise. For example, if the big blind was $, it would cost $ to call, or at least $ to raise. ction then proceeds clockwise around the table. Betting continues on each betting round until all active players (who have not folded) have placed equal bets in the pot. The Flop - fter the first round of betting is completed, the dealer turns up the first three of the community cards on the board. The flop is the first three community cards available to all active players. Betting begins with the active player immediately clockwise from the button. In GorbyX Poker TM, all bets and raises on the flop are in increments of the small bet (for example, $ in a $/$ game).

9 The Turn - When betting action is completed for the flop round, the turn is dealt face-up on the board. The turn is the fourth community card in a GorbyX Poker TM game. Play begins with the active player immediately clockwise from the button. In GorbyX Poker TM, bets and raises on the turn are in increments of the big bet (for example, $ in a $/$ game). The River - When betting action is completed for the turn round, the river is dealt face-up on the board. The river is the fifth and final community card in a GorbyX Poker TM game. Betting begins with the active player immediately clockwise from the button. The Showdown - If there is more than one remaining player when the final betting round is complete, the last person to bet or raise shows their cards, unless there was no bet on the final round in which case the player immediately clockwise from the button shows their cards first. The player with the best five-card hand, fewest suit and lowest rank wins. In the event of identical hands, the G O R B Y suit hierarchy will decide the winner. See samples above. fter the pot is awarded, a new GorbyX Poker TM game is ready to be played. The button now moves clockwise to the next player... LOSING POUNDS: The player with the best hand wins and is allowed to shed the same number of pounds he or she bet from his or her stack of chips. If you re the winner add those additional shed chips to the pot now. Remember, losing pounds (chips) is your goal! GINING POUNDS: The player with the worst hand is penalized and must take all the chips in the pot and add them to his or her stack of chips. ny player that folded during the hand, at any time must take back their ante and all chips that they bet plus a chip penalty. These chips are not to be added to the loser s chips stack. NOTE: It s easiest to keep each players ante and chips that they are betting in front of them so that any player folding can easily take back their chips, plus the chip penalty WINNING THE GME: Continue to play hands as shown above until one player wins the game by losing all the chips in his or stack. n alternate end of play is just to set a time period. Whoever has the least number of chips in his or her stack when time expires is the winner. Note: The betting structures can vary according to the desires and agreement of the players using the commonly recognized forms of Limit, Pot Limit, No Limit.
