NEW PLAYER BONUS
Remember- you get a bonus if you refer players to the online game or the live game!
ETIQUETTE
Since chat is allowed at any time except when a player is all-in – please do not talk about cards or action while a live hand is going on. though it is hard sometimes – try not to criticize other people’s play – no matter how donkey a move it is! lol Always remain courteous – this is a friendly game.
CASH GAMES
If you are down in chips, you can leave at anytime, just let us know you are leaving or if you’ll “BRB.”
If you are up in chips – there is a minimum play time of at least an hour – and we ask that you give 10-15 mins notice before leaving.
This helps to avoid the appearance of someone “hitting and running” which ruins the game for all players.
If there are any issues, please bring it to Rob and CJ’s attention.
We strive to be a fun, friendly and competitive club to play in, and guidelines like these help everyone enjoy the game. 🙂
SITTIN OUT DURING TOURNAMENTS – SITTING OUT IS NOT A STRATEGY
If you need to sit out, please alert players in the chat.
If you are sitting out and pass the bubble, you WILL NOT cash. It will be given to the bubble player.
We put a lot of time every single day into making these games run – please respect the game and our efforts and most of all – enjoy being able to play in your pajamas!!
3.0 GAMEPLAY / TIPS
OPTIONAL Mobile app – Better layout for phone or tablet
- NYCHustlers 3.0 will run in any browser, but this is a little nicer experience.
Regarding mobile table size. Sorry, but the table cannot be displayed larger because it’s already at max height. The chat box is just filling the empty space left over. Removing the chat and stretching the graphic horizontally would be like stretching your television horizontally without making it taller. It would look like crap. The real problem is trying to play a visually complex game on a 5 or 6 inch screen. It’s not ideal. A real computer or at least an iPad-sized tablet is needed for the optimal experience.
Two ways to see the pot and payouts during a game

ICM Chop
After the bubble all remaining players will see an “ICM Chop” checkbox option on the table. The checkbox caption will show how many have checked the box. Those that have will also show a cleaver icon on their avatar. After each hand ends, if all remaining players have their chop box checked, the server will pause the tournament and calculate an ICM chop distribution and present it.
If all players click the Accept button before the allotted time expires then the tournament will end immediately with each player receiving the applicable amount of chips shown in the Chop column
SHOWING CARDS
Clicking on an individual hole card in your hand will show it when the hand ends
Rebuys/Add On
When you bust you are presented with the three buttons. If you click the “REBUY button they will perform a quick rebuy. If you do not respond in time you will be put in sitout mode.
Re-Entry
When you bust you need to go back to the lobby and click the “Register” button. It as if you are first buying in.
Table Chat Box
The on-table chat box can be toggled between showing chat or statistics by clicking the applicable icon.
You can play multiple games at the same time, and tile or cascade the windows
CASH – To join a cash table click on the game name twice or highlight and click “Observe”. Once at the table, pick a seat. We will promote cash games on certain nights, but you can always see who is at a table, or message them to join you.
RUN IT TWICE. Each player will have a Run-it-twice checkbox on the table. When checked, those players will show on their avatar. Any time there is an all-in situation (i.e., all bets are in) before the river card has been dealt and all players in the hand have their box checked, the hole cards are turned up and each of those players will be presented with “Run Once” and “Run Twice” buttons. If they all click the “Run Twice” button the remaining community cards will be dealt out in two passes, forming two boards. Cards dealt before the all-in are present in both boards. Half the pot goes to the player with the best hand using the first board and the other half goes to the player with the best hand using the second board.
Rabbit Hunting
See which community cards would have been dealt if the hand had gone all the way to the river. These “rabbit hunt” cards are not shown on the table but are shown in the graphical replay summary dialog -The table button that looks like “rewind” that was on your old tape deck or VCR.
