Duffy's Casino: Final Results: Friday, September 7, 2012

Return of Friday Night Tournaments... What was supposed to a quick $5 NL hold 'em tourney turned into a grueling grudge match between Lance and Duffy. But after a few chip leader swaps and the clock striking midnight, they decide on an amicable split.

The house now has a default blind structure for all no-limits tournaments played. Check the Casino Rules section for more information.

Results of tournament: MikeP (5th; -$5); Reg (4th; -$5); Roger (3rd; -$10); Lance (2nd; +$5 on amicable split); Matt (1st; +$15 on amicable split). Total tournament prize pool: $35.

12/4/2012: RULES FOR DOUBLE-BOARD HOLDEM
The House has released its final rules for Double-Board Holdem. DBH can now be played two ways, but each way can only be played once per player. Here's the rules for each version of DBH:

1) Winner Takes All: The best hand on either board wins the entire pot.

2) High Board/Low Board: Awards half the pot to the winner of the upper board and half to the winner of the lower board.

9/7/12: NL TOURNAMENT BLIND STRUCTURES
Here is the default blind structure for NL Tournaments played at Duffy's Casino. Tournaments will now have 4 levels of play; with each new level marked by chip color-up. This structure assumes $5 buys 1,500 in chips.

First Level: 5/10; 10/20; 15/30; 20/40; 25/50; 30/60; 35/70; 40/80; 45/90. 5-minute break and color-up all white chips. All add-ons or re-buys (one per player) must be made during level 1.

4/23/12: RULE CLARIFICATION
After an exhaustive search of poker rules on the internet, I'm unable to find any evidence that you cannot check-raise in certain games of poker. You can check-raise in any game at Duffy's Casino.

4/7/12: RULE CHANGE
Please note effective immediately all games will now be for Table Stakes Only. You no longer have to go into pocket for 7-card stud, 5-card draw, or any games past or future allowed at Duffy's Casino. Only chips on the table when the hand begins are in play.
