The game play for either TRAINER or TOURNAMENT MODE is the same. Except for the detailed hints and tips you receive in the TRAINER MODE. All players start with 10,000 credits in the BANK. You will always play at the same table; however, you will have players leave and new players join your table as other virtual tables shut down. Depending on the sta- tus of the game, you will have up to five opponents who will challenge your ability to get to the next round. The dealer or player who is ON THE BUTTON is randomly selected at the start of a game. Once select- ed, this status rotates clockwise from one player to the next after each round. The two players sitting to the left of the dealer or BUTTON must pay BLINDS.

BLINDS: Before cards are dealt, the two players to the left of the dealer are required to post predetermined forced BLIND/BETS. The player immediately to the left of the BUTTON must pay a SMALL BLIND that is half of the BIG BLIND. The second player from the BUTTON must post the BIG BLIND. Initially, the SMALL BLIND BET equals 100 credits and the BIG BLIND or LOWER LIMIT BET equals 200 credits. As play con- tinues, the LOWER LIMIT BET will increase which directly impacts the value of the SMALL and BIG BLINDS. BLIND payments are automatical- ly deducted from your BANK.

HOLE CARDS: The game begins with all the players receiving 2 cards face-down. Each player can only see his or her own cards. Press VIEW CARDS to see your cards.
