REFERENCE / PRACTICE
Am I playing against real people?

The explanation below covers the main points. The built-in tables use computer opponents. Play Hold’em has five opponents, Heads-Up has one and 9-Max has eight. All chips in these tables are virtual; a separate Play Live Poker link opens the destination selected by the site operator. A careful reading can help you distinguish the different situations.

Do I need an account or a deposit?

Consider these points when using this feature. The built-in practice game does not require registration, a payment or a deposit. It runs in your browser with JavaScript enabled. Virtual chips have no cash value and cannot be purchased, transferred or withdrawn through the practice table. Keeping the full context in mind helps avoid misunderstandings.

Can the computer see my cards?

This overview brings the relevant details together. The decision routine receives only the acting computer player's own cards and public game information. It does not receive your hole cards or the remaining deck. Because this is a local practice game, the browser still holds the full game state needed to deal and restore a hand. These details provide context for the choices described here.

Why is a raise unavailable?

Consider these points when using this feature. You may lack enough chips for a larger wager, or a short all-in may not have reopened your right to raise after you already acted. Betting also stops when no opponent can contest additional chips. The action controls follow the current betting sequence and remaining stacks. If a question remains, the FAQ form provides a way to contact the operator.

Why did the pot split?

This section explains what to expect. Players with exactly equal best five-card hands tie for the pot they are eligible to win. Unused sixth or seventh cards do not break that tie, and suits have equal rank. Side pots can also be won by different players when contributions differ. A careful reading can help you distinguish the different situations.

Why does Heads-Up act in a different order?

Consider these points when using this feature. At a two-player table, the button is the small blind and acts first before the flop. The big blind acts first after the flop. This special order lets the button have the last decision on later streets while still posting the small blind. You can return to this explanation whenever you need a reminder.

Will my table be saved?

The following details clarify how this works. With saving enabled and browser storage available, the current table is saved locally by game mode. The site does not synchronize it to an account or another device. Clearing site storage, using private browsing or changing the game configuration can prevent that position from being restored. These details provide context for the choices described here.

What happens if I run out of chips?

A useful starting point is the following overview. After the hand ends, the free-chip control can restore your practice stack. A new table can also begin with fresh stacks after confirmation. These controls support virtual-chip practice and do not create a monetary balance or a prize entitlement. These details provide context for the choices described here.

Can I play on a phone?

Keep these details in view as you continue. The table adapts to small screens by grouping opponents above the board and keeping your cards and controls below it. The menu button opens navigation on narrow displays. A modern browser with JavaScript is required for gameplay and local statistics. Revisit the relevant section if a detail is unclear.

How can I report a problem?

The following details clarify how this works. Use the private form below or write to [email protected]. Include the table type, the action sequence and a useful description of the issue. Name and email are optional in the form; provide an email if you would like the operator to be able to reply. You can return to this explanation whenever you need a reminder.
