Here are some basic rules and facts about 3D Poker Room. If, at anytime, you do not feel as though these rules or facts are correct, or are being enforced improperly, please do not hesitate to contact us.
  1. Games are table stakes.
  2. Games have a three-raise maximum per betting round.
  3. Check raising is permitted.
  4. One player to a hand. No advice may be given by any third party and no discussion of an ongoing hand is allowed.
  5. No short buy-ins are allowed.
  6. As Worm said in the movie Rounders, "All conversation or chat must be in English only." Okay, he didn't say it that politely.
  7. Abusive language, discourteous behavior or critical, personal comments about other players will not be allowed.
  8. All decisions made by the Hosts are final for playing purposes. Play will resume once the Host has ruled.

Sit and Play

Use the Poker Rooms window to reach rooms. The Poker Rooms window can be toggled on or off at any time by using the Rooms button in the menu bar at the upper left corner of the main display. Or, if you're in the Lounge, just click on the bartender.



The Poker Rooms window gives you a choice of games: Hold'em, Omaha, Hold'em High-Low, and Omaha High-Low.



Use the tabs along the top to choose your game. You'll then see a list of rooms for that particular game showing the stakes and the number of players in each room. A single mouse click on any listed room yields a pop-up menu of relevant choices for the room in question such as "Sit down", "Who's here", etc.

To sit down at a table, double-click a poker room.

If a game is underway, you'll be invited to join the next hand of play. Where possible, you as a new player, will be seated to make the Big Blind at the beginning of the next hand.

If you're just the second person to join a room, the game will start shortly after you sit down.

To leave a table, you have three choices:
  1. Stand up. You stay in the room, but are not seated or playing.
  2. Go to another room. Use the Poker Rooms Board to move directly to another room or the lounge.
  3. Exit 3D Poker Room. First stand up by clicking the Stand-Up button in the upper right corner of the main display, then click the X in the upper right area of the main window to exit. You can also exit from a seated position by clicking the X.

Watch

To watch a game, use the Poker Rooms window to select a room. (Again, the Poker Rooms window can be toggled on or off at any time by using the Rooms button in the menu bar at the upper left corner of the main display. Or, if you're in the Lounge, just click on the bartender.)



Use the tabs along the top to choose a game. Then choose a room from the list of rooms for that particular game. Single click the room, then choose Watch Game from the pop-up menu that appears.

(Remember, double-clicking a room will sit you down at the table, so be careful.)

When you've seen enough and want to sit at a table, you can click the Sit Down button displayed in the center of the screen.

Note: If a table is full or nearly full, you might be positioned in an occupied seat; i.e. it may look like you're in the game, but in fact the cards, chips, and hands in front of you belong to another active player. (It's kind of like the movie Being John Malkovich.)

Leave a Table

Once you're sitting at a table in a poker room, you have three ways to leave the table:
  1. Stand up. You stay in the room, but are not seated or playing.
  2. Go to another room by using the Poker Rooms window and choose another room or lounge.
  3. Exit 3D Poker Room. First, stand up by clicking the Stand-Up button in the upper right corner of the main display. Then click the X in the upper right area of the main window to exit. You can also exit from a seated position by clicking the X.
You can leave a table any time you like. But, if you're right in the middle of a hand, you'll be warned that leaving will fold your hand.

Get More Chips

There are 4 ways to get more chips:
  1. Click once on the Cashier button in the upper right of the main display
  2. Click once on the Cash Machine in the Lounge
  3. Click once on the Dealer while seated at a table
  4. Click once on your chips while seated at a table
Note: You can't get more chips while playing in a hand of poker.

After using one of the methods above, the Chips window will appear. Use the tabs across the top to choose between your Real and Play money accounts.

Then, use the slider bar or keyboard to type in the desired amount to shift between your Cash and Chips.

For more information about Money and your account at 3D Poker Room, please visit the Money page in this site.

Sit Out

To sit out the next hand, or to sit out before a hand begins, select Sit Out Next Hand at the top of the main display. A check mark will appear in the Sit Out Next Hand box.



Alternatively, when you're prompted to Post, you can choose to sit out rather than post.

If you don't act in time during a game, you will sit out automatically.

To sit back in, de-select Sit Out Next Hand at the top of the display. The check mark will disappear.

To learn more about sitting out, see "Sit out" in the Order of Bets section of Poker Basics.

Create a Room

Create a new room of your own, by clicking once on any room listed in the Poker Rooms Board. Select Add New Room from the pop-up menu.

People on your invite list are automatically granted access to your room. Other players seeking entry will be prompted to ask for admittance, which you can grant or deny. You can also check the Apply to All check box in the request dialog to deal automatically with future requests.

To create a Public room, click the Public option, then choose a name, stake and game type. Anyone on the 3D Poker Room site can join a public room you create.

Rooms you create will expire an hour or so after the last person leaves.

Hand Histories

To view game events as they unfold, enter a room and view the Logs window. Toggle the Logs window display on or off by clicking the Logs button in the upper left area of the main display. Choose the Game Play tab within the Logs window.

To see events of past hands, choose Hand History from the Menu button in the upper left of the main display.

The Hand History dialog offers the choice of hand histories of specific hand numbers, or of the past 1 - 5 hands in which you played.

Hand numbers are available by clicking the Dealer while in a room.

You can record game play as it unfolds by selecting Record Play inside the Logs window. A check mark will appear in the Record Play box. (Click the Logs button in the upper left area of the main display to show or hide the Logs window.)
