BEHIND THE HAND

A little knowledge. A better decision.

Am I playing against real people?

The following details clarify how the works. 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. Revisit the relevant section if a detail is unclear.

Do I need an account or a deposit?

Here is the context for this part of the site. 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 Virtual chips have no cash value and cannot be purchased, transferred or withdrawn through the practice table. You can return to this explanation whenever you need a reminder.

Can the computer see my cards?

A useful starting point is the following overview. 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. Revisit the relevant section if a detail is unclear.

Why is a raise unavailable?

For this topic, keep the following in mind. 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. The surrounding sections explain the related topics in more detail.

Why did the pot split?

Consider these points when using this feature. 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. Keeping the full context in mind helps avoid misunderstandings.

Why does Heads-Up act in a different order?

The explanation below covers the main points. 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. If a question remains, the FAQ form provides a way to contact the operator.

Will my table be saved?

Keep these details in view as you continue. 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?

The key details are straightforward. 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. If a question remains, the FAQ form provides a way to contact the operator.

Can I play on a phone?

This section explains what to expect. 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. You can return to this explanation whenever you need a reminder.

How can I report a problem?

This section explains what to expect. 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. These details provide context for the choices described here.
