Pokery

Pokery is played with free play chips only. There is no real-money gambling, chips have no cash value and cannot be bought or cashed out. Privacy

Aim: drag on the range, release to fire. On touch, the crosshair sits above your finger. Hold too long and your aim shakes.

Wind is set once per street, so everyone shooting on the flop, turn or river faces the same wind. It pushes every arrow. Read it from the streaks, the drifting spray and the banners on the palace dome and the corner hotel: a limp banner means calm, a stiff one means a gale. Aim upwind and lead moving cards.

Board: a hit puts that card on the board and you shoot again. A miss passes the bow to the next player still in the hand. 3 arrows each heads-up, 2 each with 3 or more. Empty quivers mean the dealer drops a random card.

Betting: no-limit. Bet any amount from the minimum bet up to all-in with the slider, the quick sizes or by typing it. A raise must add at least as much as the last raise in that round. There's no cap on raises. A short all-in doesn't let players who already acted raise again.

Rebuys: at private and practice tables, a player who runs out of chips asks the host for a rebuy at the table's buy-in. Quick match rebuys are automatic. A dropped connection holds your seat for 90 seconds.

Tells: everyone sees the shooter's crosshair live. Aim at what you want them to think you need.
