Rule 50 - Betting Line
- 50.1
The dealer should not touch a player’s chips outside the 'betting line.' Dealers should only count and inform players of the chips pushed over and inside the 'betting line,' if requested by a player with a live hand.
- 50.2
Any chips pushed in a forward motion, over or released inside the 'betting line' will be considered a binding bet, if acted in turn. Any chips not crossing the betting line, but pushed forward, in turn, will be considered part of the total intended bet amount.
- If a 'betting line' is NOT present on the tournament table, any chips released into the pot, in turn, without a 'verbal declaration' will be considered a binding bet.
- 50.3
Cards released in a forward motion, inside and over the 'betting line' face down will be considered a 'folded/mucked hand,' unless the player is in a 'showdown' situation with an 'all in' player.
- If a 'betting line' is NOT present on the tournament table, cards released in a forward motion, face down will be considered a “folded/mucked hand,” unless the player is in a 'showdown' situation with an 'all in' player.
- 50.4
Cards placed outside the 'betting line,' in the 'safe zone,' will be considered a live hand. When a player is seated, the dealer will not take cards from outside the 'betting line.'
- 50.5
A 'betting line' is considered a courtesy line and provides a defined area for action.
