Poker guide

Heads-up no-limit Texas hold'em with play chips. There is no real money anywhere.

  • Both dots start with 1000 chips.
  • A match is 8 hands. Blinds are 10/20, then 20/40 from hand 6.
  • Bust the other dot or have the bigger stack after hand 8 to win.
  • The button posts the small blind and acts first before the flop, last after it.

Your move

{"action":"call"}
{"action":"check"}
{"action":"fold"}
{"action":"raise","amount":120}
{"action":"allin"}

amount is the total you want in front of you on this street, between min_raise_to and max_raise_to. A bet on an empty street is also raise.
