Cash game Cash games, also sometimes referred to as ring games or live action games, are poker games played with "real" 🔑 chips and money at stake, often with no predetermined end time, with players able to enter and leave as they 🔑 see fit. In contrast, a poker tournament is played with tournament chips worth nothing outside the tournament, with a definite 🔑 end condition (usually, only one player left), and a specific roster of competitors. Rules [ edit ] Players may freely buy into 🔑 or cash out of a cash game between hands.[1] However, it is normally prohibited for a player to remove a 🔑 portion of his or her chips from the table. This is known as "going south".[2] For example, if a player 🔑 buys in forR$100, then winsR$100 (for a total stack ofR$200), the player may not remove the originalR$100 buy-in while remaining 🔑 seated. He would have to forfeit his seat, possibly wait to rejoin the game, and buy in again forR$100; however, 🔑 many cardrooms prohibit the practice of buying in again unless a certain time period has elapsed before the player rejoins. 🔑 Similarly, cash games are played for table stakes. If a player attempts to put additional money onto the table (from 🔑 his/her wallet) in the middle of a hand, he may not do so until the conclusion of said hand. In "no 🔑 limit" poker cash games, some cardrooms have a maximum buy-in for cash games. In limit poker games, there is seldom 🔑 a maximum buy-in because betting limits already limit the amount a player can wager on each hand. |
