We continue to have issue with Full House. It is your responsibility in tournaments to be paying attention at all times at the table. It is also your responsibility especially in this game to be clear and state in chat that you have a full house. I am amending the rules one final time to this game. I am hoping that these amended rules fix the issue with full house. If it continues to be a problem I will discontinue the game. The TD's will have the correct rules on their tour pages and run the correct rules to it in the lobby, but it may be a bit before it is changed on the gimmick page.
The amendments to the full house rules are as follows...
You must state clearly in chat and "preferably in CAPS" that you have a full house. You must then....order the upcard up to the dealer. If you pass your full house is void.
If by chance a player before you orders up the upcard quickly and you were unable to state you have a full house fast enough in chat you may STOP PLAY state you have a full house, play the hand out and it will count.
This I hope will stop two things. Your P from ordering alone and ruining your full house, and a player playing too fast not giving anyone enough time to look at hand, recognize they have a full house and state it in chat. Here are the entire formal rules for FH. Please take note of them, pay attention to them in the lobby when the TD runs the rules. Most conflicts can be avoided by just taking responsibility and paying attention.
IF AT ANY TIME A PLAYER HAS A FULL HOUSE (3 OF A KIND + A PAIR), THAT PLAYER WILL BE DECLARED THE WINNER, REGARDLESS OF THE SCORE
THE HAND WILL BE PLAYED OUT BEFORE CALLING THE GAME OVER
YOU MAY ACQUIRE A FULL HOUSE BY PICKING UP THE UPCARD AND DISCARDING ANY OTHER CARD
IF YOU DISCARD WRONG THE FULL HOUSE IS VOIDED
IF 2 OR MORE PLAYERS HAVE A FULL HOUSE, THE PLAYER WITH THE HIGHEST 3 OF A KIND WINS
PLEASE ANNOUNCE YOUR FULL HOUSE IN THE CHAT IMMEDIATELY
YOU MUST ORDER THE UPCARD UP
AFTER YOU DECLARE YOUR FULL HOUSE
THE HAND WILL THEN BE PLAYED OUT SO ALL CAN SEE IT TO CONFIRM THAT IT IS A FULL HOUSE
IF BY CHANCE, A PLAYER BEFORE YOU PLAYS TOO QUICKLY
AND YOU ARE UNABLE TO STATE YOUR FULL HOUSE BEFORE THEY ORDER OR MAKE TRUMP
YOU MAY STOP PLAY BEFORE YOU PLAY A CARD AND STATE YOU HAVE A FULL HOUSE
THE FULL HOUSE WILL COUNT
IF YOU PASS WITHOUT STATING YOU HAVE A FULL HOUSE
THE FULL HOUS IS VOID
IF NO ONE HAS A FULL HOUSE, GAME PLAYED AS REG STD
